Frequently Asked Questions

What is a selenite tower and how does it differ from other selenite forms?

A selenite tower is an evenly ground crystal obelisk made from selenite mineral with a distinctive point. Unlike raw selenite pieces or slabs, the tower shape captivates with its geometric elegance and directs visual energy upward. Compared to spheres or freeforms, the tower appears more clearly structured and is excellent as the centerpiece of crystal arrangements or as a standalone decoration.

Since each piece is a unique natural specimen, the respective product image shows exactly the piece you will receive.

Is selenite really water-sensitive?

Yes, selenite is mineralogically composed of calcium sulfate and is indeed water-soluble. Prolonged exposure to water or moisture can make the surface dull or damage it. For cleaning and care, only a dry, soft cloth is recommended. For energetic cleansing according to spiritual tradition, moonlight or singing bowl vibrations are considered gentle alternatives.

Who are selenite towers a good gift for?

Selenite towers are an especially evocative gift for people who value natural beauty, a mindful living style, or spiritual companions. Whether for a housewarming, birthday, or as a thank-you – the elegant tower shape and gently glowing appearance make selenite towers a meaningful gift that shouldn't be missing from any mineral collection.
