It forms in sedimentary settings where mineral-rich waters evaporate, building fibrous layers that solidify into translucent masses with a distinctive silky lustre. The stone takes its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and its lunar association is ancient and consistent across cultures; thin slabs were even used as windowpanes in Roman architecture. This piece is natural and untreated, shaped and engraved from solid stone. Morocco is the primary commercial source of high quality Selenite, with further deposits in Mexico, the USA, Poland, and Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.

It is also naturally heat-resistant, the reason it has served for centuries in cookware, oil burners, and mortars, and it has been carved by cultures worldwide into sculpture and ceremonial objects. Soapstone has no established metaphysical tradition; its value is in its geology and craft heritage. Natural colours range with mineral composition and locality.
