Fishtail Selenite – Mexico
Layered crystal blades with a feathery outline and pearly shimmer

This Fishtail Selenite from Mexico weighs 178g and measures approx 9 x 6 x 2cm. Sometimes called Angel Wing Selenite, it has overlapping crystal blades that spread out in a beautifully detailed, wing-like formation.

Clearer sections sit alongside soft white areas, while stepped edges and fine surface lines catch the light. Both sides have plenty to appreciate, from broader translucent faces to closely layered crystals with a feathered appearance.
