Description

This stunning Selenite Pyramid is a finely crafted, hand-polished specimen showcasing the luminous beauty of natural selenite crystal. Known for its ethereal, pearly-white sheen and light-transmitting qualities, selenite is a variety of the mineral gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) prized both for its aesthetic appeal and its metaphysical properties. This particular piece has been carefully shaped into a precise pyramid form, a shape often associated with amplifying and directing energy, making it an ideal addition to any crystal collection, meditation practice, or home décor display.

All of our specimens are 100% genuine and sourced with the utmost care. This exact item has been photographed so you can see the precise pyramid you will receive, ensuring absolute transparency. Your purchase also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its geological integrity and provenance.

Scale cube = 1 cm. For full sizing, please refer to the product photographs.

Geological Background

Selenite belongs to the gypsum family and is typically found in evaporite deposits, where ancient seas and saltwater lakes have evaporated, leaving behind concentrated minerals that crystallise over time. This process often takes place in sedimentary environments such as arid basins and coastal salt flats. Selenite forms as transparent to translucent crystals with a silky lustre, and it is well-known for its perfect cleavage in one direction, allowing it to be split into thin sheets.

Chemically, selenite is CaSO₄·2H₂O (calcium sulfate dihydrate), making it relatively soft with a Mohs hardness of 2. Despite this softness, it is stable in indoor conditions and can last indefinitely if kept dry. Notable deposits are found in Morocco, Mexico, Madagascar, and parts of the USA, with Morocco producing particularly luminous white varieties, much like this specimen.

Physical and Visual Features

This pyramid exhibits a brilliant, pearly translucence that captures and diffuses light beautifully. The polish highlights natural fibrous striations—linear features characteristic of selenite that can run parallel across its surfaces. These subtle internal textures, coupled with the pyramid’s geometric precision, create an interplay of light and form that changes with viewing angle.

The pyramid cut is not only visually striking but is also thought to enhance selenite’s reputed ability to cleanse and charge other crystals, clear stagnant energy, and promote mental clarity. While many collectors value selenite purely for its aesthetic and geological qualities, others appreciate it for these metaphysical associations.

Uses and Display

• Crystal Healing & Energy Work: Often used for clearing aura and environment, selenite is considered a powerful cleansing crystal.
• Meditation Aid: The pyramid shape is believed to focus and channel energy, making it suitable for meditative practices.
• Home Décor: Its luminous, neutral tone complements a variety of interior styles, from minimalist to bohemian.
• Educational Specimen: Perfect for teaching about sedimentary mineral formation, evaporite processes, and crystal morphology.

Care Instructions

Due to its softness, selenite should be handled gently and kept away from water, which can damage its surface. Clean with a dry cloth only. Avoid using cleaning solutions, as these can alter the mineral’s appearance over time.

With its combination of geological significance, aesthetic beauty, and versatility, this Selenite Pyramid is both a captivating display piece and a meaningful addition to any mineral or crystal collection. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, ensuring that the pyramid you receive is as unique as it is timeless.
