A pearly white selenite pyramid, with smooth faces and fine striations running along the stone. The small size sits on a bedside table; the large one, more slender, finds its place on an altar or a shelf.
Choose from: 5 cm or 10 cm.
Good to know: Selenite is a soft stone that does not tolerate water or humidity: it can be scratched with a fingernail, becomes dull and may crumble if it gets wet. Never wash it and do not keep it in a bathroom.
Natural pieces: each one is unique, and the photo shows an example from the series, not the one you will receive.
What is it made of
A transparent to pearly white variety of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulphate), in fibrous crystals or blades. The striations running along the piece are natural. The pyramid is cut and polished by hand.
These pieces are of Moroccan origin; selenite is also found in Mexico, Spain and the United States.

How to use it
To place on a shelf, a desk, an altar or a bedside table; to give to anyone who loves minerals. Place it on a stable surface, away from knocks.
Care
Clean it dry, with a soft brush, a dry cloth or an air blower. Never use water, damp wipes or household products: selenite slowly dissolves on contact with water. Keep it away from moisture, on a stable surface; it is soft, so avoid knocks and rubbing.
Nature of the stone and photos
A natural stone is unique: its colour, veining, inclusions and size vary from one piece to another. The photos are a guide only.
Some commercially sold stones are heated, dyed or stabilised with resin. Where this is the case, it is stated on the product page. If in doubt, write to us before buying.

Symbolism and tradition
Its name comes from Selene, the Greek word for the moon. In the tradition of stones, selenite is the stone of light and clarity: it is placed close by for a moment of calm, on an altar or in a meditation corner. This is symbolism, not a promise of results.
This symbolism is a matter of tradition. It is neither a promise of results nor medical advice.
