This sculptural mineral specimen features bladed selenite crystals emerging from a natural quartz matrix, mounted on a carved burl wood base for display.
The vertical, translucent selenite formation presents strong architectural presence, while the denser quartz host provides visual and structural contrast. The composite geology explains the dual characteristics of the piece: delicate surface shedding at the crystal tips consistent with selenite, anchored by a stable quartz base.
Likely of Mexican origin—consistent with selenite-on-quartz specimens from northern Mexico—the piece is presented without specific mine attribution. The burl base elevates the specimen into the realm of decorative mineral sculpture, suitable for a console, bookshelf, or desk where natural form and material contrast are desired.
