Description

Selenite is a Crystalline variety of Gypsum.  It is often transparent and colorless.  If the Selenite Crystals show translucency, opacity and/or color, it is caused by the presence of other minerals, and many be “druzy”.  Selenite often appears to have a “cat’s eye” appearance especially with the polished variety.  It will often magnify images when the translucency is very clear.  An all-time favorite at the Rock Shop.
