Selenite Tealight Holder 1 unit

The name selenite comes from the Greek words “selene” meaning “moon,” and “lithos” meaning “stone,” because it was believed to wax and wane with the moon. Selenite, a Gypsum derivative, is formed when seawater is isolated and evaporates, leaving minerals to form into this unique variety of Gypsum. Gypsum is one of the more common minerals in sedimentary environments. Selenite is composed of oxygen, sulphur, hydrogen, calcium and water, which is hydrated calcium sulphate (CaS04.2H20); a common mineral found in sedimentary rocks.
