Mined from: Red River Floodway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Description: This one of a kind Golden Duck Bill Selenite specimen from Manitoba, Canada features a rounded cluster of amber, honey-gold, and smoky brown bladed gypsum crystals with the distinct flattened, curved “duck bill” habit. The specimen shows larger translucent golden blades around the edges, with denser darker crystal growth through the center, giving it a layered, rosette-like form. Its warm golden colour, glossy surfaces, unusual blade shapes, and natural phosphorescent quality make it a striking Canadian display specimen with strong visual character.

Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a soft sulfate mineral that forms in evaporite environments where mineral-rich water leaves calcium sulfate behind. Manitoba Golden Duck Bill Selenite is especially associated with the Red River Floodway near Winnipeg, where excavation exposed gypsum-rich clay deposits from the ancient Lake Agassiz basin. These specimens are admired for their flattened “duck bill” crystal habit, warm honey to smoky golden colouration, and distinctive flower-like clusters rather than the clear wand-like habit often seen from other selenite localities. Material from this locality is also highly collectible because Golden Duck Bill Selenite is no longer legally allowed to be mined, making existing specimens increasingly sought after.

Spiritually, Selenite is often associated with cleansing, clarity, calm energy, and peaceful focus. Golden and smoky-toned selenite varieties are sometimes connected with grounding light, emotional balance, and gentle protection, while the radiating duck bill form is often appreciated as a natural symbol of growth and renewal. Many collectors use selenite as a display stone for creating a soothing, uplifting atmosphere, and the phosphorescent nature of these Manitoba specimens adds another layer of interest for collectors who appreciate unusual optical properties.
