Mount Selenite Tower — 15 cm
This selenite pointed tower from Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, standing at 15 cm, offers an outstanding piece for any crystal collection. The translucent, silky glow of selenite immediately draws the eye, and the pointed form provides a clear, upward line. Every layer of the crystal formed over millions of years deep in the Moroccan highlands, and careful polishing reveals its full beauty.

Characteristics
The 15 cm pointed selenite tower is the size where the polished form and the size of the crystal reinforce each other. The precisely polished tip directs the entire body of the tower: the straight side edges run parallel upward to meet at the point. The white, fine-fibrous selenite surface shimmers differently from different angles, offering a varied appearance as the light changes throughout the day.
How to Use
Imposing on a shelf, coffee table, desk, or meditation section. The 380 g weight feels solid and secure when held in the hand. A strong visual focal point on its own, but also becomes part of a special crystal display when grouped with other crystal forms. It also makes an ideal gift: an elegant and functionally versatile decorative object.
Why Choose This?
The 15 cm pointed selenite tower carries serious shelf potential without resorting to the large quantity of the 20 cm version. Moroccan selenite from the Atlas Mountains is known for its special white quality and fine fibre texture, both of which are shown to their best advantage in the polished pointed form.
Tips
- Oblique light — such as a late afternoon sunbeam — provides the most beautiful illumination across the surface.
- If displaying alongside towers of other heights, a 10-15-20 cm row shows a beautiful gradation.
- The tip is the vulnerable point — lay it on its side when transporting without packaging.
- Always protect from moisture and abrasive surfaces.
