1 3/4" Polished Selenite Spheres

These are polished spheres made from selenite mined in Morocco. They are approximately 1 3/4" wide, though because they are hand made there is some variation in size.

Selenite is a variety of gypsum, a soft sulfate mineral that is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4 · H2O). When chemically pure, gypsum is transparent and colorless, however, impurities give the gypsum a diverse range of colors and formations. Desert rose, selenite and satin spar are just a few of the varieties of gypsum known to have formed though hydrothermal processes.
