Selenite Crystal Tower Pencil Point 10 cm

Milky, translucent and softly architectural, this selenite crystal tower brings a pale lunar glow to a desk, shelf or meditation corner. Its pencil-point shape draws the eye upward, while the natural vertical striations catch the light like fine threads inside the stone. It is a quiet piece for people who like their ritual objects simple, sculptural and tactile.

What the light reveals

• The surface is cool white with a soft, cloudy translucence, rather than a glass-clear shine.
• Fine vertical lines run through the tower, giving it the fibrous look selenite is known for.
• The faceted point gives the piece a clean, upright presence on a table or altar space.
• In natural light, the stone looks gentle and moonlit, with small shifts in brightness as you move around it.
• Its weight gives it a steady feel in the hand, while the stone itself remains delicate and fragile.

Selenite from Morocco

This tower is made from selenite, a form of gypsum with a soft, pearly lustre. The stone is naturally very soft, around Mohs 2, so even a fingernail can mark it. Its beauty comes from that softness: the pale sheen, the fibrous texture, and the way light seems to sit inside the crystal rather than simply bounce off it.

Living with a soft mineral

Place it somewhere dry, away from sinks, bathrooms and damp windowsills. Selenite is water-soluble, so it should never be washed or soaked, and humidity can dull its surface over time.

To clean it, use a dry soft cloth or a gentle brush. Handle it with care, as selenite can scratch, chip or split along its natural layers.

Moon name, modern crystal tradition

Selenite takes its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, a fitting origin for a stone with such a pale, luminous character. In modern crystal practice, selenite is often associated with clarity, purity and honest reflection, and is linked by tradition to the third eye, crown and etheric chakras. Many people keep a selenite tower on an altar, beside a journal, or in a meditation space as a visual focus for intention, stillness and quiet attention.

Common questions

Will every tower look exactly the same?
No. Selenite forms naturally, so each tower has its own pattern of striations, cloudiness and subtle surface marks.

Can I keep it in a bathroom?
No. Selenite is sensitive to water and humidity, so it is best kept in a dry room and cleaned only with a dry cloth or brush.
