Belonging to the monoclinic crystal system, it is defined by its extreme softness—measuring just a 2 on the Mohs hardness scale—and its perfect cleavage, which allows it to easily split into thin, flexible, but inelastic sheets. While most common minerals possess a vitreous luster, true selenite exhibits a pearly or silky luster and can grow into massive, well-formed crystals, most famously seen in subterranean caves where hydrothermal fluids have allowed them to grow undisturbed for millennia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fossils for Sale at BuriedHistoryStore.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54182662570268,"sku":"#620","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/0960\/8988\/files\/PXL_20260606_180037234.MP.jpg?v=1780771354","url":"https:\/\/buriedhistorystore.com\/products\/3-10-polished-selenite-sphere-morocco","provider":"Fossils for Sale at BuriedHistoryStore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
