- Selenite (Gypsum) is an evaporite mineral most commonly found in layered sedimentary deposits in association with halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite and dolomite. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) is very similar to Anhydrite (CaSO4). The chemical difference is that gypsum contains two waters and anhydrite is without water. Gypsum is the most common sulfate mineral. Selenite is named after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene.

- Selenite is the colorless and transparent variety that shows a pearl like luster. Crystals are common and most often assume a tabular habit. "Satin Spar" comes from compact fibrous aggregate veins. This variety has a very satin like look that gives these crystals a play of light. Long thin crystals show bends and some specimens bend into spirals called "Ram's Horn Selenite".
