Selenite is characterized by its translucent white to colorless appearance and linear, fibrous structure. In tower form, the material is shaped into a tall, vertical geometry that emphasizes its natural striations and light-transmitting quality.
A variety of gypsum composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, selenite forms through the evaporation of mineral-rich water in sedimentary environments. Its structure develops in elongated crystals, contributing to its directional grain and uniform surface texture.
Gypsum minerals have been used in construction materials such as plaster and drywall, as well as in carved decorative objects due to their relative softness and workability.
Sourced from regions including Morocco, Mexico, and the United States, each specimen varies in clarity, size, and surface definition.
