The crystal, from which the mysterious radiance comes, was called in honor of Selena (in the mythology of the ancient Greeks, this is the deity of the lunar disk). True, the name "Selenite" officially exists only since 1817.
Until the specified time on the common mineral was known as the "Moon Kiss", East Alabaster or Egyptian Stone. Until today, the name "Lunar Stone" has been preserved. But from the Greek "Selenite" translates precisely as "Lunny". Although in mineralogy, the crystals are called differently - adulorary.
Interesting fact. The name of selenites affects the place in which they were discovered, and another color variation of the breed. For example, the stones found on the shore of the White Sea are referred to as BEAORTS, and the variants of the black shade give the name of Labradors.
Moonstone has an interesting story of its origin. So, archaeologists in the process of excavations found that selenite was used in the 8th century to our era. Then the dishes and decorations were made of it.
Also, of course, amazing minerals took part in ancient magic acts. In particular, Adulyara was an integral attribute of sacrifices.
With the progress of time, gem did not lose its popularity, as evidenced by the chronicles of the Middle Ages. They mention the use of crystals in the production of church items. After reviewing the canvas of famous painters of those times, you can observe them a lot of selenite interior items.
A little later, to the second half of the 19th century, Adyur begins to be in demand among the inhabitants of Russia. The snow-white breed was detected in the area of Perm and was used as a decorative element of the Winter Palace (city of St. Petersburg). Since then, in each Russian house, they tried to have at least a small statuette of this amazing stone.
Where selenites are produced
Cave of crystals (Mexico) is the place of deposits of the most massive selenite crystals. But since the gem is a diverse stone, which is part of the field spa group, the places of its production are located everywhere, where a clay sedimentary rock is present.The biggest value in the jewelry world possesses those "moon", which were found on Sri Lanka Island.
A sufficient number of diverse copies can also be found on the territory of the Russian Federation, ABTPALY, KANADA, the United States of America, Gemnia, FPanation and Egype.
Color versions of gems
Natural selenit, as a rule, has a beautiful dairy-white color. However, in nature, it is also found in other color variations and can have pink, blue, gentle lemon shades. Very rare, but still detects crystals of green color, and the most rare version is black selenites.
Considering the structure of the stone, it should be noted its transparency and sufficient softness. In this case, the treatment of selenites does not represent a special complexity: they are easily grinding and polished their surface.
Note! Inherent in natural adulor, the presence of silky shine and spectacular overflow of the color palette (it becomes more noticeable if you look at the gem from another angle).
How to distinguish fake from the original
Selenite refers to the category of diverse minerals. On our planet there are many places of its prey, in connection with which the cost of Adulyara is not too translated. It may even seem that there is no need to fake with such an inexpensive gem. But even at the same time, you risk running into artificial variants of the simulation of selenites.
Synthetic selenite is a silicate liquid mass, in which impurities are present (necessary for longitudinal enclosures, so that the stone is reminded natural). Subsequently, the mass is converted to the state of an artificial crystal, and then the same as the original, subjected to grinding and processing.
If you do not want to run into a fake, pay attention to the following parameters:
- Suspiciously low price - despite the fact that the selenitis of natural origin is completely inexpensive, the price of fake will be generally funny (which should cause suspicion of you);
- Indicators of strength - natural selenites are characterized by softness, they are fragile and with ease scratched with nails, unlike its synthetic copies;
- the size - Of course, it is not possible to take into account this indicator in jewelry. However, when it comes to, for example, about statuettes, it is really distinguished, where the original, and where the skillfully faked figure of the figurines. In the first case, the figurines cannot be more than 30 centimeters (the fragile stone simply does not allow making more massive versions).
Even definitely pay attention to the place of purchase. Do not trust dubious attachments - very high probability to run into unscrupulous people and buy not at all what you want. Behind the decorations or objects of the decor from natural selenite, go exclusively into official jewelry stores (in them, at least there are appropriate certificates, and they guarantee the quality of goods).
Healing properties of stone selenit

He was called the "Crystal Apollo" and used to give a person to life of vitality, improve his state of health.Hindu mediums with the help of Adulyarov treated nightmares, provided heavenly patients with harmony and pacification in the night sirows.

Interestingly, in India, the crystal was attributed to sacred meaning. Ancient beliefs say that mineral could wear exclusively Mesopotamian priests (they put the crystals for themselves under their tongue).
And in the full moon, ritual actions were performed, during which the curtain of the coming events was revealed. The predictions of Hindus priests have been preserved to our days due to the efforts of the chroniclers.
