Selenite Puffed Heart - 3-3.25 inch

Selenite Heart is carved in a full puffed profile, deeply domed on both faces rather than flattened, which gives it real presence at this size and a substantial weight across the whole palm. The body is a pearly translucent white with fine parallel striations running through the material, and light entering one face diffuses softly through the stone rather than passing straight through. Turning the Heart moves a silky sheen across the surface along the direction of the striations.

Selenite is traditionally used for clearing and for settling a space, and is among the stones most commonly kept in a room for atmosphere rather than carried on the person. The Heart form is frequently placed on an altar, shelf, or windowsill away from direct sun, where its size makes it a natural focal point. It is also used as a resting surface for smaller stones, a practice long attached to Selenite specifically, and its scale here suits that use.

Geological Information
Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a hydrous calcium sulphate crystallizing in the monoclinic system at a Mohs hardness of 2 to 2.5. Its pearly translucence and silky sheen come from the fibrous parallel structure of the crystal, and the striations visible through the material follow that same growth direction. Gypsum forms in sedimentary environments as mineral-rich water evaporates and calcium sulphate precipitates out of solution, a process that can produce crystals of exceptional scale; the Naica cave system in Mexico contains some of the largest natural crystals ever documented. The name derives from the Greek word for moon, in reference to the material's soft internal glow. Morocco is the primary commercial source, with further material from Mexico, the United States, 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. Selenite is water-soluble and can be permanently damaged by water exposure. Keep away from water and store in a dry place.
