About Selenite
Formula:
CaSO4 · 2H2O
Colour:
Colourless, light tints due to included matter
Lustre:
Vitreous
Name:
From the Greek σελήυη, for "moon," in allusion to the moon-like white reflections of the mineral or to the quality of the light transmitted by translucent gypsum slabs of cleavages used as windows.
A variety of Gypsum
The name 'selenite' is mostly synonymous with gypsum but has been used historically to describe the transparent variety, as opposed to satin spar gypsum for the fibrous variety and alabaster for the fine-grained massive form.
The original name was given by J.G. Wallerius in his 1747 book "Mineralogia, eller Mineralriket" (p. 50), as 'selenites'. Named from the greek 'σεληνη' (the moon), probably from its pale bluish reflections.
