Raw Selenite Cluster Appraisal

Raw Selenite Cluster

The item is a large, raw specimen of Selenite. It is a substantial chunk of crystallized mineral, exhibiting the characteristic fibrous and striated texture of Selenite. The color is predominantly translucent white to a very pale yellow or beige, with some areas appearing more opaque and milky. The overall form is roughly rectangular, with a flattened base that allows it to stand upright. The top surface is irregular and shows the natural cleavage planes of the mineral. The sides are composed of tightly packed, elongated crystals, giving it a columnar appearance. The base is more rough and appears to be where the specimen was broken from a larger formation, displaying a more earthy and less crystalline texture with some dirt or matrix material still attached. Individual crystal bundles are visible running vertically along the sides. There are no visible signs of significant damage, repairs, or artificial enhancements. The natural raw state of the mineral indicates it is likely a recent find or a relatively modern specimen, focusing on its natural beauty rather than being a historical piece. The luminescence and clarity of Selenite vary depending on its source and grade, and this piece appears to be of good visual quality for a natural specimen. No manufacturing marks or signatures are present, as this is a natural mineral formation.
