Selenite Square Sphere Holder

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal sphere holder: Selenite Square Sphere Holder (shop SKU 35502).

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.

This listing is for a square sphere holder or stand, as stated in the title, not for a crystal sphere. A separate sphere can be set on it for display. Because selenite is relatively soft, the holder should be kept dry and handled gently.
