Mount Selenite Tower — 20 cm
This twenty-centimetre selenite tower arrives from the depths of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, and is considered one of the most elegant, most finely crafted pieces in the crystal world. The long, pointed body reaches upward like a finger to the sky — it is named after the Greek moon goddess Selene, and indeed, placed in sunlight or on an LED base, it radiates a truly lunar, glowing light. This size delivers the strongest visual impact in the entire selenite tower series.

Characteristics
The 20 cm selenite pointed tower is the largest and most imposing member of the series. The opalescent radiance of the white selenite material is most spectacular at this size: light radiates from within along the parallel fibres, concentrating especially at the tip. The white quality of selenite from Morocco’s Atlas Mountains is outstanding — pure, fine-fibrous, and uniform.
How to Use
Ideal on a mantelpiece, large bookcase, gallery, low coffee table, indoor garden, or reception desk. Grouped with other selenite forms — spiral tower, natural tower, selenite bowl — it creates a premium crystal display. Held in the hand, the 460 g weight is imposing yet still manageable.
Why Choose This?
If you are buying just one selenite tower and it must deliver the best possible appearance, the 20 cm pointed tower is the clear choice. This is the size that stands its ground as a standalone interior design element — not an accessory on the shelf, but the shelf’s main character. The outstanding white quality from the Moroccan Atlas Mountains is revealed most purely in this polished, pointed selenite tower form.
Tips
- Most effective on an LED base: the opalescent white selenite gains a lunar radiance from the inner light.
- Store in a stable place where it cannot receive strong impacts — a 460 g fall can damage both the crystal and the surface beneath.
- If building a crystal collection, this tower provides the vertical focus and premium feel.
- A shelf height of at least 22 cm is needed so the tip does not touch the shelf above.
