Selenite

Selenite, a stone of light and purity. Known for its transparent and brilliant crystals, selenite is a gemstone that symbolizes clarity and spirituality. Each piece is unique, with its own inclusions and imperfections that make it even more precious.

Selenite is perfect for collectors and gemstone enthusiasts.

Did you know that what is commonly referred to as selenite is probably actually a crystal called Satin Spar? These two beautiful crystals are probably the most mixed crystals in the metaphysical world! They are the same mineral, a form of gypsum, but they crystallized differently to form either selenite or Satin Spar. Another form of gypsum is desert rose, mixed with sand particles. Selenite is the more famous of the two names, but selenite crystals are actually much rarer than Satin Spar. Selenite occurs as large, flat, transparent crystals, often called "plates" or "windows." Their sheets are very thin and can flake off. The difference between selenite and satin spar (white spar or satin spar) is mainly in their appearance and shape. Selenite is often a transparent or translucent crystal, often with a pearly luster and a crystalline form. White spar, on the other hand, tends to be fibrous or silky, with a satiny sheen. Although selenite is the most commonly known name, white spar is more common and often mistakenly called selenite.

In summary: Selenite: Transparent or translucent crystals, often with a pearly luster and a crystalline form. White spar (Satin Spar): Fibrous or silky structure, with a satiny luster. For more accurate identification, it is important to compare the overall appearance of the crystals and their shape, as selenite is rarer than the more common white spar.
