A flat round of gypsum with the twelve zodiac signs engraved across its surface.
Selenite is a variety of gypsum — calcium sulfate dihydrate, Mohs 2 — that formed in ancient evaporite basins where concentrated mineral water slowly crystallized. Its softness makes it ideal for engraving; its flat cleavage planes make it naturally suited to a plate form. The zodiac wheel engraved here runs all twelve signs in sequence, the incised lines catching the stone’s characteristic light. The plate is flat-bottomed and stable on any surface. Selenite is water-soluble over prolonged contact; do not submerge or clean with water.
In crystal tradition, selenite plates are used to rest and display other stones — the soft glow of the gypsum makes any stone placed on it look better. In the chakra tradition, selenite is associated with the crown and third-eye chakras and with clearing energy. The zodiac engraving ties the piece to astrological tradition, a practice that runs continuously from ancient Mesopotamia to the present.
A display plate for a collection, altar, or bedside table — functional and decorative in equal measure.
Every crystal is hand-picked for exceptional beauty, quality and energetic integrity, then vortex-charged in Sedona’s sacred energy. This process infuses each piece with a high-frequency presence, delivering a crystal experience that feels as powerful as it looks.
This is a lovely, sturdy piece. I love the etching.
