Meaning of the shape
The athame is a traditional, knife-like form, here carved from selenite with a spiral pattern running along the handle. The spiral motif appears as a decorative element and gives the piece a pleasant visual rhythm. We recommend it to you specifically as an ornamental item or a collector's piece.
Appearance of the selenite
Selenite is a soft, whitish, translucent mineral with a characteristic silky sheen. Due to the stone's natural structure, every piece is unique: the lines, small internal layers, and light refraction differ from stone to stone. Your specimen therefore shows its own unrepeatable pattern.
Look and placement
The spiral athame looks excellent on a bookshelf, a desk, or a small tray. In natural light, the stone gently glows, and the carved spiral casts shadows on the surface. You should choose a spot for it where it is clearly visible, but where children and pets cannot reach it.
What to watch for
Selenite is a soft mineral, easily scratched and prone to chipping. Avoid drops, knocks, and rubbing against hard objects. Since this piece is intended purely for decoration, do not use it for cutting or as a hand tool, because the thin parts can break.
Care
For cleaning, use only a dry, soft cloth or brush. Selenite cannot be washed with water and is sensitive to prolonged moisture. Store it in a dry, dust-free place, preferably lined with soft fabric, so the surface retains its sheen.
