This is the largest piece in the group, a single AAA grade slab of fibrous gypsum standing ten inches tall and weighing over five pounds, with substantial thickness through the body. The vertical fiber runs the full height of the piece; 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\u003eA slab at this height reads as an entry or console piece, the kind of object a room is arranged around rather than one that sits among others. 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":51121587126308,"sku":"IND-SEL-SLB-0004","price":214.0,"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-5-43lb-01.png?v=1784582121","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-aaa-new-mexico-5-43lb","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
