Orange Selenite Sphere

Description

Hand polished orange selenite sphere. The diameter is around 5 cm, and it comes with a free plastic stand to place it on.

Most crystal spheres (such as quartz) are machine polished. These selenite spheres are hand polished due to the soft nature of selenite. For most crystals that are quite hard and have a constant grain, machine polishing produces good results however this is not the case for selenite.
This means that the selenite spheres we sell, will not, when examined very closely be 100% spherical mathematically speaking, although to the naked eye it is very hard to tell. But you are getting the care and attention of a crafts person, and spheres that have a great polish.

The orange color is from impurities of Hematite, with the darker orange pieces containing larger amounts of this iron-bearing mineral. These are mostly found in Mexico.

The clear form of the crystal, in particular, represents clarity, reminding us to aim to think clearly and without prejudice. Note: be careful if you cleanse selenite as, although some contact with water is okay, it’s a soft mineral and could deteriorate if left in water for long periods of time.
