Magical Selenite
Gypsum has several variety names that are widely used in the mineral trade.
“Selenite” is the colorless and transparent variety that shows a pearl like luster and has been described as having a moon like glow. The word selenite comes from the greek for Moon and means moon rock.
Another variety is a compact fiberous aggregate called “satin spar” . This variety has a very satin like look that gives a play of light up and down the fiberous crystals.
A fine grained massive material is called “alabaster” and is an ornamental stone used in fine carvings for centuries, even eons.
