This stunning Wolframite & Selenite Crystal originates from North Hill, Cornwall, England, UK, a region known for its rich mining heritage and exceptional mineral formations. Wolframite (Fe,Mn)WO₄ is a significant ore of tungsten, prized for its dark, heavy crystalline structure, while Selenite (CaSO₄·2H₂O) is a delicate, translucent variety of gypsum known for its smooth, fibrous structure and calming energy.
This exquisite specimen comes from the Alice Purnell Collection, one of the most extensive and prestigious geological collections in the world. Carefully selected for its unique combination of dark, metallic wolframite with the soft, pearlescent glow of selenite, this mineral cluster is a must-have for collectors, geologists, and energy healers alike.
Wolframite forms in hydrothermal veins associated with granitic intrusions, often occurring alongside minerals such as quartz and cassiterite. Selenite, on the other hand, forms in evaporite deposits, where sulfate-rich waters slowly crystallize into long, translucent blades. The contrast of these two minerals together makes this a striking display piece.
