Selenite Sphere (satin spar)

Paul Carter — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:37:09 +0000

This type of selenite is known as Satin spar, much of the selenite on the market is this type, and technically speaking it is Gypsum. It has a lovely shimmer to it when the light hits it, and in spheres, there is a transparent region through the middle where you can see the arrangement of the internal fibres allow for this. Selenite in its raw/rough natural form will “shed” fibres, this is normal. It is also very soft and will easily scratch, especially the polished pieces. It is said to be very clearing and has a cold energy to it.
