True Selenite Slab | A

A striking True Selenite slab weighing 209g, with beautiful glass-like transparency, natural internal veils and dramatic crystalline cleavage patterns running throughout the piece.

Unlike the fibrous Satin Spar commonly sold as “selenite”, this piece is genuine transparent Selenite, the clear crystalline variety of gypsum. Its natural structure creates incredible layers, reflections and almost window-like areas of clarity when held to the light.

This particular piece has been cut into a substantial display slab and is able to stand independently, making it especially beautiful displayed on a shelf, altar or within a mineral collection.

Geological Information

• Mineral: Gypsum
• Variety: Selenite
• Composition: Calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O)
• Hardness: 2 on the Mohs scale
• Crystal System: Monoclinic
• Appearance: Transparent to translucent with a vitreous to pearly lustre

Selenite forms when mineral-rich saline water evaporates, allowing gypsum crystals to develop. True Selenite can form remarkably clear, sheet-like crystals and has perfect cleavage, which creates the distinctive internal planes, lines and reflective surfaces visible throughout this specimen.

Metaphysical Properties

Selenite is traditionally associated with:

• Peace and calm
• Energetic cleansing
• Mental clarity
• Spiritual connection

True Selenite is particularly popular for meditation, altar spaces and spiritual practice, where it is traditionally used to encourage clarity and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Metaphysical properties are offered for spiritual interest only.

Piece Details

Piece A weighs 209g and can stand independently for display.

The lines, planes, veils and internal markings visible throughout the piece are characteristic of Selenite's natural crystal structure and cleavage.

Care: Selenite is a very soft mineral and is sensitive to water. Keep this piece dry and handle carefully to protect its natural surfaces and edges.
