This white selenite heart is small, light and made specifically to be held in your hand. The palm stone is just the right size to feel good when you close your fingers around it, and it also looks elegant on a desk or shelf.
The silky surface of selenite
Selenite is a rare, translucent crystallised form of gypsum. Its surface shows a characteristic, fine longitudinal striation that gently scatters the light — hence the name 'stone of clear light'. The surface is so smooth that it feels like smoothing wax in your palm, the touch is quiet and soothing.
Why a heart shape
The heart is an ancient symbol that customers love to give to one another: it can express gratitude or affection. Held in the palm, the heart's rounded edges fit nicely under the fingers, and the pointed tip gives support to the thumb. Many people keep it on their desk and pick it up for a moment in difficult times to calm themselves.
When you can use it
In quiet moments, during meditation, or simply while trying to reply to a difficult email. You take it in your palm, feel the cool, smooth surface, and your attention is held by the stone for a moment. This helps you pause before you write a hasty word.
One-of-a-kind pieces
Each heart is unique: the selenite shows pale stripes in different densities, and some pieces may show more layers than others. The size can also vary slightly, but it always fits comfortably in the palm.
Care
Selenite is a soft mineral and scratches easily. Keep it in a soft fabric pouch or a separate small box. Never wash it with water because it absorbs water, and the surface will dull over time. If it gathers dust, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
