This is a single AAA grade piece of fibrous gypsum approaching ten inches wide, a broad panel-shaped slab rather than a narrow tower. The upper edge is left in its natural broken state with visible crystal terminations; only the base is cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelenite is crystalline gypsum, calcium sulfate dihydrate, formed where ancient saline waters evaporated and left soft fibrous crystal beds behind. New Mexico sits over one of the significant North American gypsum deposits. At Mohs 2 the material is soft enough to scratch with a fingernail and is water-soluble, so it stays a dry-care display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this width the slab works as a statement piece on a console, mantel, or wide shelf, and it takes backlight well because the fiber runs the full span. 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":51121586307108,"sku":"IND-SEL-SLB-0003","price":160.0,"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-4-03lb-01.png?v=1784582100","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-aaa-new-mexico-4-03lb","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
