Satin Spar is a fibrous form of Gypsum. It is generally white, silky and translucent with pearly or milky appearance although you can also find peach/orange commonly sold as well.

The name Satin Spar was first used for a variety of Calcite (Satin Spar Calcite). It has since been used to cover varieties of Aragonite and Selenite. It is best to use this name as an adjective in conjunction with a mineral name rather than as a specific variety name of its own (ie: Satin Spar Selenite).

Selenite is a mineral that has been used for healing and protection since ancient times. It was thought to bring peace, calm, and mental clarity. Selenite is extremely easy to cleanse and recharge, making it a popular mineral with those who use crystals.

Which Should You Use?

Any of the two that you are drawn to of course. If you are drawn to Satin Spar (what is regularly available), it doesn't mean that it won't have the same effect as true Selenite for you. You're attracted to it for a reason - go with that.

Selenite- is one of those stones EVERYONE should have in their crystal kit.  Yup that’s a big call. It’s my go to crystal to cleanse and recharge my other stones and jewellery. I use it daily for aura brushing and general energetic work.

The healing energy of selenite is well renown. It is a crystal that’s never need cleansing or recharging because of its exceptionally high vibration. It’s brilliant to sweep away negative energy from the auric field. Selenite has the ability to quickly unblock stagnant, stuck energy to promote a healthy, smooth flow of energy throughout your crystal grid and can also be used on your body. It dispels all negative energy, bringing calming energies, mental clarity and deep peace. I use it extensively to ‘seal’ in any energetic healing work and it’s definitely one crystal I can do without

A Deeper Understanding of Selenite 

• Selenite is commonly found in the deep caves of Mexico, Morocco and Madagascar and the raw crystal formations can be as long as 35 feet. Some of the largest crystals ever found are of selenite, the largest specimen found in the Naica Mine's Cave of the Crystals being 12 metres long and weighing 55 tons.
• Selenite, also known as satin spar, desert rose, or gypsum flower are four crystal structure varieties of the mineral gypsum. These four varieties of gypsum may be grouped together and called selenite.
• Selenite-most often transparent and colourless: it is named after Greek σεληνη "the moon".
• Selenite if selenite crystals show translucency, opacity, and/or colour, it is caused by the presence of other minerals, sometimes in druse (a crust of tiny, minute, or micro crystals that form or fuse either within or upon the surface of a rock vug, geode, or another crystal)
• Satin spar- most often silky, fibrous, and translucent (pearly, milky); can exhibit some coloration-the satin spar name can also be applied to fibrous calcite (a related calcium mineral) – calcite is a harder mineral – and feels greasier, waxier, or oilier to the touch.
• Desert rose- rosette shaped gypsum with outer druse of sand or with sand throughout – most often sand colored (in all the colors that sand can exhibit) the desert rose name can also be applied to barite desert roses (another related sulfate mineral) – barite is a harder mineral with higher density
• Gypsum flower -rosette shaped gypsum with spreading fibers – can include outer druse-the difference between desert roses and gypsum flowers is that desert roses look like roses, whereas gypsum flowers form a myriad of shapes
• All varieties of gypsum, including selenite and alabaster, are composed of calcium sulphate dihydrate 
• Gypsum crystals are colourless (most often selenite), white (or pearly – most often satin spar), gray, brown, beige, orange, pink, yellow, light red, and green. Colors are caused by the presence of other mineral inclusions such as, copper ores, sulfur and sulfides, silver, iron ores, coal, calcite, dolomite, and opal.
