View of a sample of selenite, a form of gypsum
Selenite. View of a sample of selenite, a form of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulphate). Gypsum is a common mineral deposit of precipitated salt (sedimentary evaporite). It is used in the making of plaster of Paris for construction, as a retarder in Portland cement, as a flux for pottery and as a fertilizer. This sample is from Utah, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of selenite, a remarkable form of gypsum. Selenite is known for its translucent and silky appearance, which adds an ethereal touch to any setting. The sample depicted in this image hails from the beautiful state of Utah in the United States. Gypsum, the mineral from which selenite originates, holds immense significance across various industries. It serves as a key ingredient in the production of plaster of Paris – an essential material used in construction projects worldwide. Additionally, gypsum acts as a retarder in Portland cement, ensuring optimal curing time during construction processes. Beyond its role in construction materials, gypsum also finds application as a flux for pottery-making due to its ability to lower melting points and enhance workability. Moreover, it serves as an effective fertilizer that enriches soil with vital nutrients necessary for plant growth. The intricate details captured within this photograph highlight the natural beauty and versatility of selenite and gypsum. As we admire this stunning image by Science Photo Library, let us appreciate how these minerals have shaped our world through their contributions to artistry, architecture, agriculture, and more.
