Selenite

Selenite is a magnificent variety of the mineral gypsum, named after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene. It is most famous for its pearly, ethereal glow and a phenomenon called "chatoyancy," where light shimmers across its surface like a silk ribbon. While true Selenite is transparent and window-like, the most common form in the jewelry and wellness trade is the fibrous, milky-white variety known as Satin Spar.

Because of its unique crystal structure, Selenite looks and feels unlike any other stone. Its pristine white color and "frozen-water" aesthetic make it a cornerstone for those seeking to add a sense of peace and purity to their environment.
