Selenite, with its peekaboo, nowyou-see-through-it /now-you-don’t
translucence, is the negligee of
minerals, making it a natural for
a glam accent in the home. don’t
make the mistake of thinking
you’ll dispose of its dust deposits
with a dose of tap water, though.
essentially a salt, selenite dissolves
in water, rendering its demise as
sure as that of lot’s wife.
