This is a Golden Selenite blade crystal/specimen from Swan Lake, Victoria, Australia. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. The golden amber or orange hue in this variety of Selenite comes from a large amount of Iron oxides being present in the surrounding area as it forms. It has a nice long, thin, "blade" formation with interesting facets and color variations throughout.
This is a natural stone, not polished or cut, and as such a variety of physical textures are present. It is normal for tiny pieces to flake or 'shed' during transit due to the way Selenite forms.
Just a reminder: Selenite is water soluble, so don't submerge it in liquid and leave it there or the physical structure can degrade.
It measures just under 2 1/2" inches wide/across by just over 1/2" inch wide at the widest point (varies a bit throughout). Code-5
