Orange Selenite Pyramid
Selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum (hydrous calcium sulfate), traditionally associated with cleansing, clarity, and calm. This Orange Selenite Pyramid is carved in a warm, apricot-toned variety of selenite, cut into a four-sided pyramid with the stone's soft inner glow shining through the orange tint.

Meaning & history
This warmer color comes from natural iron and hematite inclusions in the gypsum, giving the stone a sunnier, more energizing look than classic white selenite, while carrying the same traditional ties to the crown chakra and to clarity and calm. As part of our wider crystal pyramids range, the pointed form is often chosen for balance and wellness setups, since the shape is traditionally believed to focus and direct energy.
How to use it
Place the pyramid on a desk, altar, or shelf with its point upward as a warm, glowing focal point. It pairs well with meditation or quiet reflection, and its compact size makes it easy to move to wherever you'd like a calm accent that day.
Care & cleansing
Selenite is water-soluble and soft (Mohs ≈ 2) — never soak, rinse, or place it in water. Cleanse with dry methods only: smoke, sound, moonlight, or a dry charging plate. For dust, wipe with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and dry the piece immediately.
Frequently asked questions
What is an Orange Selenite Pyramid?
It is a pyramid carved from a naturally orange-toned variety of selenite, used as decor for a desk, altar, or shelf. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device.
Why is this selenite orange instead of white?
The color is caused by natural iron and hematite inclusions within the gypsum, giving it a warm, apricot tone rather than the typical clear white.
Does the orange color change how the stone should be cared for?
No. Orange selenite is chemically the same soft, water-soluble gypsum as white selenite, so it needs the same dry-only care.
Can I place it in direct sunlight?
Brief sun exposure is fine, but prolonged direct sun can gradually fade or dull the color over time.
What chakra is this stone traditionally linked to?
Like other selenite, it is most often associated with the crown chakra and higher crown.
Will my pyramid match the photo exactly?
No. Because it's a natural mineral, tone and pattern vary from piece to piece, so yours may differ slightly from the photo.
