Selenite is a transparent, crystalline variety of gypsum, admired for its delicate crystal formations, exceptional clarity, and pearly to vitreous lustre. Despite its name, selenite contains no selenium. Its name is derived from Selene, the Greek goddess of the Moon, in reference to its soft, moonlike sheen.
This specimen from Guizhou, China, features an intricate cluster of transparent to translucent, colourless crystals with distinctive flattened, tabular formations. The overlapping crystals exhibit pronounced striations and stepped growth patterns, creating a layered, almost architectural appearance.
