Selenite Crystal Point Tower – 15 cm

Milky and moonlike, this selenite crystal tower catches the light in fine vertical lines, with a soft pearly glow rather than a glassy shine. Its pointed form gives it a quiet presence on a shelf, altar or bedside table, bringing pale mineral texture into a still corner of the room.

What the light brings out

• The surface shows long, silvery striations, so the crystal looks different as you turn it.
• Its white translucence has a lunar quality, soft at the edges and brighter along the faces.
• The tower shape draws the eye upward, making it feel more architectural than a tumbled stone.
• It suits a small meditation space, a dressing table, or a simple arrangement with plants and natural wood.
• Each piece is naturally formed, so tone, clarity and internal markings will vary from tower to tower.

Selenite, soft gypsum with a pearly glow

Selenite is a form of gypsum, loved for its pale colour, satin lustre and fine internal lines. This piece comes from Morocco and has the clean, milky look associated with selenite towers, with a pointed top and straight sides that show the mineral’s natural striation.

Living with a delicate mineral

Keep selenite dry. It is water-soluble, so washing, soaking, bathroom humidity or damp storage can dull the surface and eventually cause flaking.

It is also very soft, around Mohs 2, and can be scratched by a fingernail. Dust it gently with a dry soft cloth or brush, and place it where it will not be knocked or handled roughly.

Moon name, modern crystal practice

The name selenite is linked to Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, a fitting association for a crystal with such a pale, luminous appearance. In modern crystal practice, selenite is traditionally associated with purity, clarity and honest self-reflection, and is often linked with the crown and third eye chakras. Here, that symbolism sits alongside the mineral itself: a fragile, light-catching piece of gypsum, valued as much for its quiet beauty as for the meanings people bring to it.

Common questions

Can selenite go in water?
No. Selenite should be kept dry because it is water-soluble and can become cloudy, dull or flaky when exposed to water or damp conditions.

Will the tower look exactly like the photo?
No two selenite pieces are identical. Natural differences in whiteness, translucence, internal lines and small markings are expected.
