About this piece
Selenite is a soft, translucent white mineral, a form of gypsum. This plate is a flat disc cut from selenite, 3 inches across, engraved on the face with the Sri Yantra, the figure of nine interlocking triangles used in Shakta and Sri Vidya tradition.
It weighs 60 g. In crystal practice such plates are used as a flat base to rest other stones on, as one photo shows with a set of tumbled stones. It suits a shelf, a desk or an altar.
How it is used
