Selenite is the transparent crystalline variety of Gypsum and can develop elongated blades, intersecting crystals, stepped growth and pronounced surface striations.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Qinglong Mine specimen is distinguished by its complex three-dimensional cluster formation, with multiple transparent to frosted Selenite crystals growing in different directions. Under ultraviolet light, selected areas and internal zones display golden yellow fluorescence rather than responding uniformly across the specimen. This combination of locality, crystal habit and UV reaction makes it particularly relevant for collectors of Chinese minerals, fluorescent mineral specimens, Selenite and unusual Gypsum formations. A custom acrylic and metal stand allows the complex crystal structure to be displayed vertically and viewed from multiple angles. 💛🔦\u003c\/strong\u003e✨\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e⚖️ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 1.9kgs - In Stand (sticky removable brown paper covering on acrylic stand)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e📏 Size: 24cm x 17cm x 12.6cm - In Stand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🌍 Source: Qinglong Mine, China\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔮 Selenite: The Stone of White Light\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💙💜🌟 Third Eye, Crown Chakra \u0026amp; Soul Star Chakras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThis remarkable Selenite specimen from the Qinglong Mine in Guizhou, China has a completely different growth style to our other pieces, forming as an impressive cluster of intersecting crystals rather than a single dominant blade.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre is a substantial transparent to translucent Selenite crystal with strong vertical growth lines running through its surface. Surrounding it are numerous smaller blades and crystalline formations growing in different directions, creating a wonderfully architectural specimen with layers, angles and textures to explore from every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the surrounding crystals are beautifully transparent, while others have a softer frosted appearance. Together they create an almost sculptural formation, showing just how varied the natural growth habits of Selenite can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd once again, there is something hidden within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder ultraviolet light, areas of the specimen reveal the unusual golden yellow fluorescence that made this group from Qinglong Mine so fascinating to us. The response is not uniform across the entire cluster. Instead, particular areas and internal zones react differently under UV, allowing features within the Selenite to emerge that are far less apparent in normal light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenite is the transparent crystalline variety of Gypsum, a hydrated calcium sulphate mineral. It is naturally quite soft, with perfect cleavage, making a large and complex cluster like this particularly delicate. The intersecting blades, layered crystal growth and preserved surfaces are a major part of its mineralogical appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specimen has been mounted vertically on a custom clear acrylic and metal stand, giving the cluster height while allowing its unusual three-dimensional structure to remain visible rather than resting flat on a surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetaphysically, Selenite is traditionally associated with cleansing, clarity, peaceful energy and creating a calm environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, I think this one has two personalities. In daylight, it is a substantial and beautifully complex Selenite cluster with crystals growing in multiple directions. Bring out the UV light and you discover there is another layer to the specimen waiting to be seen. 💛🔦\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divine Crystal Heart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54800571302112,"sku":null,"price":836.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/0871\/9000\/files\/QinglongMineFluorescentSeleniteCrystalArchitecture1.jpg?v=1789181136","url":"https:\/\/divinecrystalheart.com.au\/products\/qinglong-mine-fluorescent-selenite-cluster","provider":"Divine Crystal Heart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
