Selenite is a transparent to translucent variety of gypsum, recognized by its soft pearly to vitreous luster, delicate tabular or bladed crystals, and often colorless to snowy-white appearance. Fine specimens may show sword-like crystals, fishtail twins, satin-spar fibers, rosettes, or dramatic associations with clay, sand, or evaporite matrix. Collectors value selenite for its ethereal transparency, graceful crystal form, large specimen potential, affordability, and distinctive evaporite locality character. Notable examples from Mexico, Morocco, Australia, Spain, Utah, Oklahoma, and classic desert localities can range from elegant miniatures to striking architectural display pieces.
