Selenite Satin Spar – A Stone of Light, Clarity, and Cleansing
Selenite Satin Spar is one of those crystals that instantly brings a feeling of calm. With its soft, pearly glow and silky fibres, this beautiful form of selenite is cherished for its ability to cleanse, recharge, and bring peace to both spaces and energy fields.
🌍 Scientific Information
Despite often being called “Selenite,” Satin Spar is a fibrous variety of gypsum, a hydrated calcium sulfate mineral (CaSO₄·2H₂O). It forms as saline waters slowly evaporate in sedimentary environments, leaving behind delicate, fibrous layers that shimmer with a satiny sheen.
While clear, glass-like true selenite forms in transparent crystals, Satin Spar has fine parallel fibres that reflect light beautifully, giving it that familiar, silky white appearance.
Gypsum crystals like Selenite Satin Spar are found in countries such as Morocco, Mexico, and the USA, and are a favourite among crystal enthusiasts here in New Zealand for their cleansing properties and elegant glow.
