{"product_id":"selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-new-mexico-52","title":"Selenite Raw Crystal Standing Slab | New Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelenite raw crystal standing slab from New Mexico, USA, measuring 4.90 x 1.46 x 9.99 inches and weighing 3.39 pounds. Only the base is cut flat so the slab stands upright unaided. The upper edge is left in its natural broken state with the crystal terminations still visible. This is a one-of-a-kind piece and the slab photographed is the slab delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelenite is crystallized gypsum, calcium sulfate laid down where ancient saline water evaporated and left soft fibrous crystal beds behind. The parallel fibers channel light along the surface like satin, which is where the moonlight comparison comes from. New Mexico sits over one of the significant North American gypsum deposits. This piece is fully natural and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the slab reads as a console, mantel, or shelf piece, and it takes backlight well because the fiber runs the full span. Selenite is traditionally associated with cleansing and clear space. At Mohs 2 it is a dry-care display piece, not a stone for water or handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beyond Bohemian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51551362777124,"sku":"IND-SEL-SLB-0052","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6107\/9588\/files\/selenite_standing_slab_52__1730-7048.jpg?v=1789771416","url":"https:\/\/beyondbohemian.com\/products\/selenite-raw-crystal-standing-slab-new-mexico-52","provider":"Beyond Bohemian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
