Selenite - Water-Clear with Perfect Termination - New Find, Durango, Mexico

This striking water-clear selenite specimen represents a new high-grade find from Durango, Mexico, distinguished by its exceptional clarity, refined crystal form, and dramatic internal features. The crystal exhibits a bold, elongated diamond-shaped habit with a perfectly terminated end, sharply defined and free of damage—an uncommon level of preservation for selenite of this size. Transparency is outstanding, with large, window-clear sections that allow unobstructed views through the crystal. One especially compelling feature is a crystal-clear “window” that reveals the reddish-orange matrix and inclusions behind it, creating a layered visual effect reminiscent of natural mineral art. These internal inclusions add depth and contrast without compromising the overall clarity, enhancing the specimen’s visual intrigue. In both form and purity, this piece bears a strong visual resemblance to the famed Naica selenite crystals of Chihuahua, evoking the same ethereal, glass-like presence that has made Naica material world-renowned—yet in a manageable and display-friendly scale. At cabinet size, measuring 3.6 inches in height and 5.85 inches in width, this specimen commands attention while remaining elegant and refined. Its combination of pristine termination, exceptional transparency, and dramatic inclusions places it firmly in the upper tier of modern Mexican selenite, suitable for advanced private collections or prominent display in a curated mineral cabinet.
