The name of this magnificent gemstone comes from the Latin "selinitis" which means moonstone. It was named as such because lunar reflections can be observed on its surface. It is a calcium hydrosulfate that belongs to the large family of Gypsums. One of the things that makes this stone so special is its fibrous texture, which can be observed with the naked eye! Selenite is an evaporite. It grows when a liquid seeps into mineral-rich veins and evaporates. Thanks to the text of the naturalist Pliny the Elder, we know that in Antiquity, Selenite was used for making windows. Plates of this beautiful gemstone were also used to engrave prayers. When it takes on a pretty orange color, it means it contains small inclusions of Hematite.
