This is a Selenite sphere from Morocco. The sphere comes from a selenite mass of Satin Spar, and is partially clear (the rest is translucent), with a lovely Chatoyancy.
Selenite, also known as Gypsum, is one of the more common minerals in sedimentary environments. It is a major rock forming mineral that produces massive beds, usually from precipitation out of highly saline waters. Since it forms easily from saline water, gypsum can have many inclusions of other minerals and even trapped bubbles of air and water.
Gypsum has several variety names that are widely used in the mineral trade. "Selenite" is the colorless and transparent variety that shows a pearl like luster and has been described as having a moon like glow. The word selenite comes from the Greek for Moon and means moon rock. Another variety is a compact fibrous aggregate called "satin spar" . This variety has a very satin like look that gives a play of light up and down the fibrous crystals. A fine grained massive material is called "alabaster" and is an ornamental stone used in fine carvings for centuries, even eons.
Selenite is believed to be a calming stone that instills deep peace and is excellent for meditation. Selenite has an ethereal quality and is said to inhabit the place between light and matter. Although an ancient stone, it is still one of the most powerful crystals.
It is thought that Selenite can be used to form a protective grid around a house, creating a safe and quiet space that does not allow outside influences in. A large piece of Selenite placed in the house ensures a peaceful atmosphere.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
