Selenite Engraved Pentacle Athame - 9.5 Inch

The Selenite Engraved Pentacle Athame is carved as a full ritual blade in moon-white stone, with a rounded pommel, a ridged grip, and a broad leaf-shaped blade engraved with a Pentacle at its base. The translucent body carries Selenite's signature silky sheen, so the whole piece seems lit from within under candlelight, and its generous length gives it a commanding presence laid across an altar or held in hand.

An Athame is traditionally a directing tool rather than a cutting one, used to cast and open circles, trace sigils in the air, and focus intention during ceremony. Selenite's associations with mental clarity and calm make it a natural material for the role, favoured by practitioners who want their primary altar blade to double as a cleansing presence for the tools kept around it.

Geological Information
Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, composed of hydrous calcium sulphate. 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.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Selenite is a soft stone (Mohs 2-2.5) and scratches easily. It is water soluble; prolonged exposure to water will permanently damage the surface. Keep dry, store separately from harder stones and metal tools, and handle with care.
