Selenite Tumbled

This tumbled stone is listed as Selenite Tumbled (shop SKU MOSTU5), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum (calcium sulfate), typically translucent and white or clear, and often carved into towers, spirals, or wands. It is relatively soft and can be damaged by water, so it is best kept dry and handled gently. In crystal traditions, selenite is associated with clarity and a sense of calm. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
