DESCRIPTION

Selenite from Morocco is a mesmerizing translucent gemstone renowned for its ethereal beauty. Geologically, selenite is a form of gypsum, which is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. It forms in evaporative environments, where water with high concentrations of dissolved gypsum slowly evaporates over time. As the water evaporates, selenite crystals begin to grow, forming delicate and often elongated structures. The unique fibrous and layered structure of selenite gives it a pearly sheen and the ability to transmit light.

Historically and culturally, selenite has been highly regarded for its mystical and healing properties. It has a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations, where it was associated with the moon goddess Selene, from which it derives its name. Selenite was believed to hold spiritual energy and was used in rituals and ceremonies to enhance communication with the divine and facilitate meditation. In various cultures, selenite was revered as a symbol of purity and spiritual enlightenment. It was also used in the construction of sacred spaces and temples due to its translucent qualities, allowing the diffusion of soft, glowing light.

Care Instructions

To properly care for selenite and prevent physical damage, it is important to handle it with care due to its relatively soft nature. Selenite is susceptible to scratching and can be easily damaged by other harder materials. Avoid exposing selenite to water or excessive moisture, as it can cause the gemstone to become dull or dissolve. It is recommended to store selenite in a dry and safe place, preferably wrapped in a soft cloth or stored in a protective pouch to prevent scratching or chipping. Gently dust selenite with a soft brush or cloth to keep it clean, and avoid using any cleaning solutions or chemicals. Selenite should be kept away from direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading or discoloration. With proper care, selenite can retain its luminous beauty and energetic properties for a long time.
