About the Item

An exceptional gypsum crystal, also known as selenite, from the world-famous Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico — renowned for producing some of the most transparent crystals on Earth. Selenite is the clear, glass-like variety of gypsum, admired for its purity and optical perfection. This specimen features a perfectly transparent crystal of extraordinary clarity, allowing the matrix beneath to be seen entirely through the crystal — a phenomenon rarely found at this level of transparency. The interplay between the delicate, luminous crystal and the earthy tones of the matrix creates a captivating visual contrast, as if the stone were a natural window into the rock itself.
