Characteristics
Selenite is a soft, gypsum-based mineral that crystallised over millions of years from dry marine sediments. The tower shape ensures stable upright placement, with the tip pointing upward for a visually striking effect. At 5 cm, it is perfect for a desk, windowsill, or shelf display.
How to Use
Place it on a desk, shelf, or windowsill where natural light can highlight its surface. It can also be held during meditation or quiet moments. It makes an ideal gift: compact and easy to pack, bringing joy to all ages.
Why Choose This?
Among 4–6 cm selenite towers, this is one of the most practical sizes: small enough to take anywhere, yet large enough to stand out on a shelf. Its Moroccan origin assurances the characteristic white, fibrous quality.
Tips
- Keep away from moisture — selenite can dissolve with prolonged water contact.
- On a sunny windowsill, light filters beautifully through its translucent layers.
- For a larger selenite collection, group it with towers of different heights.
- Safe for children — no sharp edges, smooth surface.
