1. Origin

Selenite is a form of gypsum, a calcium sulphate dihydrate mineral that is typically milky white with a pearly lustre. Notable sources include Mexico, Morocco, the United States and Australia. This item is a palm stone, supplied per the product page as a set of 7 to 10 pieces.

2. History

Selenite was named in 1813 by the French mineralogist Rene Just Hauy, from the Greek word selene meaning moon, referring to its moon-like glow. It has been carved and used for decoration in several cultures and became widely known in modern times through the discovery of large gypsum crystal caves.

3. Usage

The product page notes that its milky-white sheen and soft, soothing texture give it an instantly calming presence, suiting meditation and display. Selenite is extremely soft and should not be washed, since gypsum can be damaged by water; a dry cloth or soft brush is best and knocks and damp conditions should be avoided.

4. Function

The product page notes that selenite is one of the few crystals believed to cleanse and recharge other stones, making it a valued addition to spiritual and retail collections. Practically, the palm stone serves for hand-held calming, decoration and display, combining aesthetic appeal with metaphysical value.
