You will receive this Specimen.

Rams Horn Selenite, also referred to as “Selenite Rams Horn” or simply “Selenite Spiral,” is a unique form of selenite crystal that exhibits spiral or coiled formations resembling the shape of a ram’s horn. This particular variety is often sourced from regions in China, where it is mined and formed naturally into these spiral patterns.

### Key Features of Rams Horn Selenite:

1. **Formation and Shape**: The distinctive spiral shape of Rams Horn Selenite is what sets it apart from other selenite varieties. The spiral, or “ram’s horn,” is naturally occurring. The spiraling, elongated formations resemble the coiled horns of a ram, which is how it got its name.

2. **Color and Transparency**: Rams Horn Selenite typically displays the signature translucent or milky white appearance that is characteristic of most selenite. The crystal can range from transparent to opaque, and may have a slight sheen or glow when polished. It can also sometimes feature subtle inclusions or striations within the mineral.

3. **Origin**: While selenite is found in various parts of the world, Rams Horn Selenite is notably sourced from China.

### Caution:
Selenite is a soft mineral (Mohs hardness of 2) and can be easily scratched or damaged. It is also water-soluble, meaning it should not be submerged in water for cleaning. Instead, a dry cloth or gentle brush is recommended to clean it.

Rams Horn Selenite is a stunning example of the unique ways that natural crystals can form and is prized for its beauty.
