Shape of the rod
The selenite rod is a simple, elongated cylinder-like form, shaped by polishing. The clean form lets the stone's natural beauty come through. We thus offer you a minimalist yet substantial piece, which stands out even without elaborate decoration.
Character of the selenite
Selenite is a soft, whitish, translucent mineral with a characteristic silky sheen. Along the length of the rod, the natural lines and small layers of the stone are visible, which make every piece unique. Your specimen may therefore differ slightly from the one in the photo, which is part of the beauty of the natural material.
What you can use it for
It looks great as a shelf accent, as part of a mineral collection, as a prop for photography, or as part of a simple decorative grouping. It works nicely on a wooden tray, on a small piece of fabric, or alongside other stones. It is up to you to decide what role to give it in your home.
What to watch for
Selenite is a soft mineral, easily scratched and prone to chipping. Avoid drops and strong knocks, as well as rubbing against hard objects. The thinner ends of the rod are particularly delicate, and that is where damage is most likely.
Cleaning and storage
Wipe only with a dry, soft cloth. Selenite cannot be washed with water and is sensitive to prolonged moisture. If you do not use it for a long time, wrap it in soft fabric and place it in a dry box, so the surface does not get scratched.
