## Description

Selenite crystal charging bowl is made from selenite, about 8.5cm, a soft, silky-white crystal with a natural fibrous glow.

The owl was the companion of Athena, goddess of wisdom, and a bird of night magic in British folklore.

From the maker: This little selenite bowl measures approximately 7.5-8.5cm across and has the soft, silky white glow this mineral is loved for. Sometimes called the goddess stone, selenite is regarded as a highly spiritual stone in crystal tradition, associated with peace, purity and cleansing.

Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, typically pearly white with a silky sheen. It measures 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural gypsum.

The Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, holds selenite beams over 10 metres long.

Size: approximately 8.5cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.
