Orange Selenite Faceted Pendulum – Natural Gypsum Crystal

This Orange Selenite Faceted Pendulum is crafted from genuine natural gypsum crystal, carefully shaped and polished to highlight its warm colour and soft translucency. The piece shown in the photographs is the actual specimen you will receive. Full sizing details are available in the listing images, allowing you to assess proportions and finish before purchase.

This crystal is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it is a genuine natural mineral specimen.

Mineral Species & Composition

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 is a relatively soft mineral with a Mohs hardness of 2, which allows it to be shaped and faceted while retaining its characteristic silky or pearly lustre.

Key mineralogical properties include:

• Mineral Group: Sulphate

• Chemical Formula: CaSO₄·2H₂O

• Crystal System: Monoclinic

• Hardness: 2 on the Mohs scale

• Lustre: Silky to pearly

• Transparency: Translucent to semi-transparent

• Cleavage: Perfect in one direction

Colour & Natural Characteristics

Orange Selenite derives its warm amber to peach colouring from natural inclusions, typically iron oxide impurities within the gypsum structure. This creates soft, earthy tones ranging from pale honey to deeper burnt orange shades.

The faceted pendulum design enhances light reflection across the crystal’s internal structure, revealing subtle fibrous textures and natural banding. Due to the mineral’s internal structure, gentle striations or growth lines may be visible, adding to the authenticity and character of the piece.

Each specimen may display slight natural variations in tone, internal inclusions, and surface detail, which are part of genuine mineral formation. No artificial dyes are applied.

Geological Formation

Gypsum forms primarily in sedimentary environments through the evaporation of mineral-rich saline waters. As water evaporates, calcium and sulphate ions combine and crystallise into gypsum deposits. Over geological time, impurities such as iron oxides can influence colour development, resulting in the orange variety seen here.

Significant gypsum deposits are found in evaporite basins worldwide, where ancient seas once existed. The mineral’s formation reflects sedimentary processes and evaporative conditions in Earth’s geological history.

Pendulum Form & Use

The faceted pendulum shape is traditionally used as a tool in spiritual and divination practices. In belief-based traditions, Selenite pendulums are often associated with clarity and intuitive focus; these associations are spiritual in nature rather than scientific.

Beyond spiritual contexts, the pendulum form also makes this piece a decorative crystal object suitable for display, study, or inclusion in a mineral collection.

Display, Collecting & Gifting

This Orange Selenite Faceted Pendulum is ideal for:

• Mineral and crystal collections

• Geological display

• Spiritual tool collections

• Decorative desktop pieces

• Unique collector gifts

The faceted finish combined with natural translucency creates an attractive and refined display item while preserving the mineral’s geological character.
