Description

Satin Spar Selenite Natural Rough Piece S-M.

Lovely short rough pieces of natural Satin Spar Selenite. Opaque white colour, with beautiful silky chatoyancy. Very Good to A Grade. Size small to medium. Choose your weight. You will receive one piece.

Tip: Because Selenite is a very soft, fibrous crystal, you can expect little ‘nicks’, scratches and rough edges. Take a damp (not wet) cloth and gently wipe it down. This is a great way to smooth out little imperfections on your piece. Selenite can dissolve in water, so do this carefully and use water sparingly.

 

GEOLOGICAL

A note on names:

Selenite is the name for a transparent variety of Gypsum. The white fibrous variety of Gypsum that everyone calls Selenite is actually called Satin Spar. Since the names are now synonymous, we say ‘Clear Selenite’ and ‘Satin Spar Selenite’.

 

Satin Spar Selenite has a beautiful silky chatoyancy. This moon-like glow that moves along the surface of the crystal is how Selenite got its name, after the ancient Greek moon goddess, Sel?n?.

Gypsum occurs on every continent, and is the most common of all the sulfate minerals. It’s formed as an evaporative mineral, and frequently found in alkaline clay beds, evaporated seas and caves. It often occurs with other minerals such as copper ores, sulfides, and iron ores. Some specimens exhibit fluorescence or phosphorescence.

When Gypsum dehydrates severely, Anhydrite is formed. Interestingly, the process can reverse! When the Anhydrite is reintroduced to water in it’s environment, it reverts to Gypsum.

Selenite (Satin Spar)

Selenite strongly resonates with the Angelic realm and can help you access higher guidance. It is excellent for meditation and spiritual development, while also enhancing natural psychic abilities. Selenite is a powerful stabilizer of erratic emotions. And encourages a conscious understanding of what has been happening at the subconscious level.

Selenite makes a supreme gridding stone. You can use it in a protective grid around the house or place a piece in your sacred space. It will fill the area with white light and peaceful energy, while keeping out unwanted energies. This crystal is also a good choice as a wand for auric and energetic field work.
