Mineral & Geological Details – Selenite (Gypsum Variety)

Selenite is a transparent to translucent crystalline variety of Gypsum, a hydrated calcium sulphate mineral with the chemical formula CaSO₄·2H₂O. It belongs to the sulphate mineral group and crystallises in the monoclinic crystal system.

Gypsum forms primarily through the evaporation of saline waters in sedimentary environments such as inland seas, lagoons and evaporitic basins. As mineral-rich water evaporates, dissolved calcium and sulphate ions crystallise to form gypsum deposits. Over geological time, these deposits can develop into large, well-formed crystals, including the clear, fibrous and tabular forms commonly referred to as selenite.

Selenite typically displays a pearly to silky lustre and ranges in colour from colourless and milky white to slightly cream-toned. The crystal structure often exhibits fine striations or fibrous internal patterns, which may create a soft sheen or chatoyant effect when viewed under light. Transparency varies from translucent to nearly transparent depending on thickness and internal inclusions.

Hardness: 2 on the Mohs scale
Crystal System: Monoclinic
Mineral Group: Sulphate
Chemical Composition: Calcium sulphate dihydrate

Due to its softness, selenite is easily carved and shaped into discs, plates and decorative forms while retaining its natural crystalline character.

Round Disc Form – Practical Display & Crystal Base

This 10cm round disc format provides a flat, stable surface ideal for display purposes. Commonly referred to as a “charging block” in spiritual practices, selenite discs are traditionally associated with symbolic cleansing and energy themes. This piece is offered as a genuine mineral specimen suitable for display, collecting or decorative use.

Jewellery and crystal enthusiasts often use selenite discs as bases for placing smaller stones or ornaments due to their smooth, polished surface and luminous appearance.

The round shape highlights the natural fibrous structure of the gypsum, with subtle internal banding visible when viewed in natural light.

Natural Characteristics & Appearance

Each selenite disc displays natural variations in translucency, internal structure and surface pattern. Fine growth lines and internal veils are part of the mineral’s natural formation. The polished finish enhances its soft glow while preserving the inherent texture of the crystal.

Selenite is commonly associated with evaporite deposits and may occur alongside minerals such as halite, anhydrite and calcite in sedimentary rock formations.
