What it is
Selenite Heart - 7-8cm is made from selenite, about 8cm, a smooth, silky-white crystal with a natural fibrous glow.
At around 8cm this is the mid-sized option: big enough to notice on a shelf, small enough for a desk or windowsill. Mid sizes are the most versatile: they hold a bracelet or a handful of tumbles, or sit happily on a bedside table.
This is one of 4 options in the Selenite Heart range; nearby choices include 10 cm, 3-4cm, 7-8cm - Mandala Engraved.

How to use it

- It pairs traditionally with any crystal you want to rest on it.
- Lighting idea: selenite glows softly when backlit, so try it near a lamp or candle (never touching the flame).
- Entrance idea: some households keep a selenite piece by the front door as a symbol of a calm threshold.
- Dressing-table idea: use it as a landing place for jewellery so pieces aren't scattered.
Care
- It is very smooth; handle gently and keep away from damp rooms.
