First release of these gorgeous “Ram’s horn” selenite pieces!
These mineral specimens showcase the “ram’s horn” habit of gypsum, variety selenite, originating from the karst cave deposits of the Qinglong Mine, Dachang ore field of Qinglong County, Guizhou Province, China.
Due to contact twinning and unequal growth rates along its crystalline axes, when this selenite forms the structures organically curve downward, mirroring the shape of a ram’s horn. The lower terminations of the crystals are accented by a light dusting of secondary gypsum, creating a highly textured, sparkling contrast.
These specimens also fluoresce and phosphoresce under shortwave ultraviolet light. Some also have a purple fluorite inclusion which displays softly through the selenite overgrowth.
Please note that selenite is a very soft sulfate mineral and is highly brittle and water-soluble. To preserve its complex structure, this piece must be kept entirely dry, away from high humidity, and handled with care. They will be packaged and shipped with the utmost care.
