Larger, clearer crystals project from the sides around a tighter centre of smaller pointed growths, giving the piece a layered, angular shape with strong glassy reflections and visible natural inclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eGolden Duck Bill Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a hydrated calcium sulfate mineral formed in evaporite deposits where mineral-rich waters gradually leave gypsum behind. Manitoba is especially well known for these distinctive duck bill formations, most commonly associated with the Red River Floodway area near Winnipeg and deposits related to the ancient Lake Agassiz basin. Unlike long wand-style selenite, these specimens are prized for their curved tabular blades, rosette-like clusters, warm amber to smoky colouration, and unusual natural form. They are also increasingly sought after because this material is no longer legally allowed to be mined, making existing specimens finite and more collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1868\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSpiritually, Selenite is often associated with cleansing, clarity, peace, and calm energy. Golden and smoky varieties are also commonly connected with grounding, confidence, warmth, and emotional balance. The radiating duck bill formation gives this specimen a strong visual sense of movement and renewal, making it appealing as both a Canadian collector mineral and a display piece with gentle energetic associations, while its phosphorescence adds an extra layer of fascination and rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith this product, you will get the actual stone in the photograph.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manitoba, Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864266223786,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/7158\/3658\/files\/GoldenSelenite-RedRiverManitobaFloodway-475.jpg?v=1784931107","url":"https:\/\/rubblerockandgem.com\/fr\/products\/golden-duck-bill-selenite-specimen-3","provider":"Rubble Rock And Gem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
