Selenite and minerals on stands

    More about this category

    A raw stone keeps its original shape: it is there to be admired and displayed more than handled. Each piece is unique, with variations in shape and shade.

    • Selenite (gypsum, hardness 2): very soft, it can be scratched with a fingernail and does not tolerate water. Wipe it dry.
    • Geodes: hollow rocks lined with crystals. Interiors in a very vivid blue or purple are often dyed.
    • Points: prop them up securely, as a point breaks easily.
    • Keep the pieces away from damp and separate from harder stones.

    To understand materials, treatments and care, read our stones guide.

    Selenite: beware of water

    Selenite is soft (it can be scratched with a fingernail) and deteriorates on contact with water. Clean it dry and keep it away from humidity and the bathroom.
