Selenite Yin Yang Tealight Holder is carved from two interlocking pieces of selenite, one in warm peach-orange and one in classic white, joined into the curved Yin Yang shape. Each half has a rounded well carved into its top, sized to hold a standard tealight candle. The surface is smooth and polished, with the natural colour difference between the two halves forming the visual split of the design.
The peach-orange colouring comes from natural hematite inclusions within the gypsum, an entirely natural variation rather than a dye, with deeper orange tones reflecting a higher hematite content. The white half carries selenite's usual fibrous, silky lustre. Selenite is also known for its self-cleansing nature and is commonly used to cleanse other crystals placed nearby, and the paired light of two tealights burning side by side suits meditation, balance work, or simply setting a calm mood in a room.

Geological Information
Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a calcium sulfate mineral, forming in sedimentary environments where mineral-rich water evaporates and deposits fibrous layers that solidify into translucent masses. It rates 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, soft enough to be scratched with a fingernail. The orange-peach colouring in one half of this piece comes from natural hematite (iron oxide) inclusions captured within the gypsum as it formed, a genuine natural colour variation, not a dye or treatment. The stone's name derives from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. This piece is sourced from Morocco, a primary commercial source for both white and hematite-included selenite.
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 water soluble and will be permanently damaged by moisture. Keep dry, never rinse or soak it, and do not use it in water elixirs. It is also very soft (Mohs 2 to 2.5) and scratches easily, so handle gently and store away from harder stones.
