Mined from: Morocco
Description: This carved mushroom features a white selenite stem with a contrasting red selenite cap, sourced from Morocco. Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum known for its fibrous structure, silky luster, and natural translucence. The white portion forms in clean evaporite deposits, while the red coloration occurs when iron oxide inclusions stain the mineral during growth. Morocco is one of the world’s most significant producers of high-quality selenite, often yielding material with strong chatoyancy and soft internal glow.
Gypsum minerals form when sulfate-rich water evaporates in sedimentary basins, leaving behind layered crystalline deposits. With a Mohs hardness of around 2, selenite is very soft and should be handled with care. Its fibrous structure allows light to travel through the crystal, creating a luminous effect that makes it a popular material for carvings, lamps, and decorative mineral pieces.
Selenite has long been associated with clarity, calmness, and energetic cleansing. Many people use it as a stone believed to clear stagnant energy from spaces or other crystals. The mushroom shape adds symbolic meaning, often representing growth, grounding, and connection to
