{"product_id":"selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-aaa-new-mexico-0-61lb","title":"Selenite Raw Crystal Standing Slab | AAA Grade | New Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelenite raw crystal standing slab from New Mexico, USA, cut with a flat base so it stands upright on its own. This is a single AAA grade piece of fibrous gypsum, translucent white with the satin optical fiber running through the body that gives selenite its name. The face is left natural; only the base is cut, so the slab reads as raw material rather than a finished object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, calcium sulfate dihydrate, formed as ancient saline waters evaporated and left beds of soft fibrous crystal behind. New Mexico sits over one of the significant North American gypsum deposits. At Mohs 2 it is soft enough to mark with a fingernail, and it is water-soluble, which is why it stays a dry-care display stone rather than something handled daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis size works on a nightstand, a shelf, a windowsill where light passes through the fiber, or a small altar. Selenite is traditionally associated with cleansing and clear space. This is the exact piece pictured, photographed in house.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51121583489060,"sku":"IND-SEL-SLB-0001","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-aaa-new-mexico-0-61lb-01.png?v=1784582059","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-aaa-new-mexico-0-61lb","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
