The Selenite way
the progress from artificial to natural life force energy

I build and sell now for 5 years no artificial Orgonite more . Since the energy cone has the artificial Orgonite replaced completely . The cone has the same effect as a large Chembuster , and work same time their reliability . Since the structure and mode of action is a new design , based entirely on the nature, ranging from purely natural substances up to the reproduction of natural neutralizing and harmonizing energies.

On my homepage EnergieKegel.de under "History " , the development is performed by Cloudbuster to the cone . With tension that has nothing to do , unfortunately, know many of the manufacturers do not really like to work , you can build things. I have things built from scratch and also developed and continues to evolve , it never came to a standstill. Until the present generation of plaster finish . I like to try out , including in relation to your question , to explain something about the function and mode of action of the cone. For a better overview. The cone is made only from natural ingredients , it forms the neutralizing and harmonizing energies of nature . This means that it neutralizes and harmonized. Due to the natural body , it works just like the nature that always wants to achieve a harmonious balance . The cone and the heart neutralize energies when bad energies omitted , the organism can , for example, People thrive again , and has more energy available to be healthy and to stay healthy . On a side note , this is also the reason why no Überenergetisierung aka overloading can take place , since only energies are neutralized or harmonized. Much like it happens in nature.
Because the gems / minerals (about 100 vers . ) And the crystals ( 5-9 ) are cast with plaster in a natural composite , the energy is in a constant cycle , as well as on my website , under " How concerts energy cone his energy, " containing an image . Through this natural cycle , I was able to discover in nature / allowed and rebuild in the cone , the gems cleaned again by itself and load up again and again by itself on . For this reason I do not use metal and no aluminum, they would interfere with the natural flow of energy. The gems and crystals coalesce into a practical part , a powerful piece of nature. One must see the whole as nature itself . The cone and the heart working at the level of information such as the natural way also . Matter is energy that knows nowadays everyone , so is energy but matter, it needs information that have even been accepted and recognized our scientists . And just when this information is at the cone , because exactly according to this principle, nature works . Otherwise it would not be possible , for example, chemtrails , unnatural clouds etc. dissolve . The cone dissolves the information chemtrails underlie the information to make them a chemtrail , with all its ingredients. Now, if this information is neutral or neutralized as a blank document , then the missing energy to condense it further into matter information . Thus, the chemtrail and the unnatural cloud dissolves , and thus also the ingredients are dissolved and can not fall to the ground . As it is the case with electrosmog , mobile radio radiation , etc. , that are easily neutralized and harmonized at the very natural way . ( As I said , there is the cone only from purely natural substances , not an artificial element is included . If the cone o of the heart are at one, it 's just like taking a walk on a flower meadow , sitting in a forest clearing at a waterfall or stream running along . ) exactly the same principle also works the nature, as otherwise they could recover from many a disaster that man has done to her. And by recreating this mode of action , which only by a purely natural structure was possible , work the taper . The radius of the cone is min. 5km, these refer above all to the hole which is formed in the clouds , but this can also be much larger than the 5km . At the bottom of a cone has its effect also far above the house , by harmonizing energies in the environment. The closer you are the cone , or if you are staying in the same room or house , the effect is most effective. You can set up the cone where you have the best feeling something special there is not going to be considered. Most of all , the cone is placed in the living room or bedroom. On the bedside table or in the living room on a low cupboard, or even like going to the window. But like I said , you can decide freely you there. Most of all because the cone is placed where life goes where you most often resides. The cone acts in all directions, including downward, the rock crystal in the center of the cone ensures that some of the energy goes up to heaven . But like I said , only a part, so he does not need to be in the basement . The hearts are meant for traveling , as a cone , not so easy to carry due to its size , can . If you , for example, away staying with friends or in a hotel. In the open field , for example, stored at radio masts, is the effective radius of 20 to 50m. If you have a heart in your pocket , pocket , etc. to protect it a go perfectly . The cone solves unnatural cloud cover and Chemtrails , which persist natural clouds , which is also very important , otherwise the consequences for the country and agriculture would not be good. The influence of the weather has been shown to follow the cone represents the natural typical weather for a region recovers . This means it can be used for sunshine and blue skies , but also for
energetic and rain are important . Thus, for example, use it in Spain vers . drought -stricken farmers to bring rain on your back fields , and to avoid here in Germany by storm and hail damage. The cone unfolds from inside the house out , its full effect on the chemtrails and You can make the cone and the heart weatherproof too , to my many clients have helped the world. In this case, the following has been found as the best way out . The cone or the heart with 2 or 3 layers of clear coat paint environmentally friendly . But I'll do this from an environmental perspective, not even as already mentioned as the cone starts to act from within. It would be enough to protect the cone and the heart just before rain , with a glass or plastic cover , is also made more often , or simply put under one roof. There are also customers who paint the cone and beautiful heart , and then make a final coat of clear polish on it . In Portugal, for example, is a cone for over a year in free , there will not freeze in winter but also . Slowly you can see the traces of the rain but on the cone . If you want to place the cone and the hearts permanently outside, then please use one of the above tips . But as I said , choose a nice place in the house or apartment , best go to your intuition , because where it feels good is also usually the best place. Even from inside the cone unfolds its full effect on the sky and the chemtrails . You can also bury the cone and hearts. You can perfectly into the ground , and remain stable in the ground. On the surface of the cone and hearts begin even crystals grow. In Australia (and also in Sweden) the cone of plaster is poured after my role model in some schools in the country in the classroom , so that children can easily take it home.

Selenite is an alternate name for the mineral Gypsum. The word Selenite comes from the Greek “selenites”, meaning “moon stone” or “moon rock”, with the root word “Selene” meaning “Moon”, and for good reason - the mineral Selenite is the near transparent and colourless crystal form of Gypsum that exudes a pearly lustre which glows and can very much resemble the moon. Selene is also the name of the Greek Goddess of the Moon (a.k.a. Artemis or Diana).

Gypsum is a common sedimentary mineral - the most common of all the sulfates - and is usually found in massive beds of tabular or block crystal form. These sedimentary deposits are formed through a hastened acceleration of evaporating saline water, and in the process may retain trapped bubbles of either air or water called “enhydros”. Gypsum is often found in caves, in evaporated lakes or seabed’s, or salt flats. It is interesting to note that if the natural conditions become extremely dry and the Gypsum becomes overly dehydrated, it transforms into the mineral known as Anhydrite. If water is then reintroduced, it is restored back into Gypsum.

There are five main types of Gypsum, known by the following names: Selenite, Satin Spar (not to be confused with Iceland Spar which is a related Calcite), Gypsum Flower, Desert Rose, and Alabaster. The first four crystalline varieties are commonly known as Selenite even though they contain some notable differences in appearance. The larger crystalline form of Selenite, being a clear colourless crystal, is more rare than the other forms of the mineral. Satin Spar is usually fibrous, translucent white and satiny. The other forms of Gypsum are readily available in tabular, rosette or needle-like crystals, with Alabaster being the granular massive form of the mineral. Selenite crystals can be quite large, but the mineral itself is very soft and slightly flexible (although not elastic, meaning it can be bent but will not resume its original shape on its own). Often fibrous, it can be easily broken or scratched. In fact, all forms of Gypsum are soft (between 1 1/2 and 2 on the Mohs Scale) and can be scratched with just a fingernail.

As a form of Gypsum, Selenite is a natural insulator and will appear much warmer to the touch than other crystals. Industrial grades of Gypsum are used in making sheet rock drywall, concrete, and Plaster of Paris. Both Selenite and Satin Spar are often vitreous (glassy), pearly and silky to the touch, and both may exhibit chatoyancy (cat's eye reflections). They also both contain a fibre optic quality, have the ability to double refract, and some specimens are fluorescent or phosphorescent. Gypsum Flowers, Desert Roses, and Alabasters are usually not as lustrous, and often will have a gritty appearance. In very dry areas, sand becomes trapped within and on the surface of the forming crystals, and often these inclusions are seen as shapes, such as the common “hourglass” shape found on Selenite crystals in the Great Salt Plains Lake bed. The Desert Rose variety is shaped like a rose as its name suggests, its “petals” formed by overlapping blades of Selenite. They are often a dusty rose, reddish or brown colour. With their softness and natural formation related to water, all of the Gypsum varieties should never be left standing in any liquid, and all cleansers should be avoided, as the water will degrade and eventually dissolve the mineral, while soaps and cleansers will affect any lustre.

A famous location for Selenite blades is found in the Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico and is called the “Cave of Swords”. Here giant crystals have formed, some measuring over 30 feet long. A fairly common mineral, Selenite can be found throughout the world.

Colour: White to colourless, and transparent to translucent. In some varieties, shades of red, brown, green and yellow may be present due to inclusions of other minerals.

Crystal Habit: Tabular, bladed or block crystals with a slanted parallelogram form; also needle-like crystals. May be massive, granular, crusty or fibrous. Tabular varieties show pinacoidal faces with jutting prismatic edges. In the long, thin crystal variety, some may exhibit bending where certain specimens coil into spirals - a variety nicknamed "Ram's Horn Selenite". Two type of twinning are common, one producing a "spear head twin" or "swallowtail twin", the other producing a "fishtail twin".

Other Characteristics: Crystals are flexible but not elastic. Some specimens exhibit fluorescence or phosphorescence. Gypsum has a very low thermal conductivity (hence it's use in drywall as an insulating filler). A crystal will feel noticeably warmer than a crystal of Quartz or the like.

Notable Occurrences: Mexico; Italy; Utah and Colorado, US; Australia; Greece; Spain.

Uses: Mineral specimens. Other forms of Gypsum are commonly used in plaster and wallboard, certain cements, paint filler, fertilizers.

Said to be the "Stone of Mental Clarity," Selenite is thought to be a bringer of light.

Associated with the Greek Goddess Selene, Selenite contains feminine energy and is often used to connect and commune with the Divine, especially goddess energy. Some use it for angelic or spirit guide connection, or aid in interacting with the Ancients. Selenite crystals, or polished wands of Selenite, are often used as magic wands or as aids to help facilitate transporting one's intentions to the Higher Self and/or the Universe.

Often referred to as "scanners," Selenite is said to have the ability to scan the body for disease or malfunction, pinpointing what areas may need attention. The stone itself is also thought to have the ability to clear etheric blockages so one can gain knowledge on how to move forward toward a cure. It is thought to have been a healing tool in Atlantis. Selenite can be used for scrying into both the past, present and future. Past life regressions are assisted with the use of these crystals. They are also said to be good for dream recall.

It is long thought that Selenite helps in procuring long-lasting relationships, ensuring fidelity and furthering commitments. It can help reconcile differences by going to the root of any issue.

It is believed that Selenite is one of two minerals (the other being Apophyllite) that are strong enough to clear negative energies from Quartz. It's also believed that it has the ability to help program (charge), or reprogram (recharge), a Quartz crystal. It is good for charging all one's magickal tools. To cleanse and recharge your Selenite, place it under the light of the Moon.

*Gives physical aid in treating: Spinal column, skeletal system, cellular structure, skin, bones and teeth. Calcium deficiencies. Epilepsy and seizures. Soothes nerves. Removes blockages. Improves libido. Fertility.

*NOTE: Stone therapy should NOT take the place of medical evaluation and procedures, and should be used merely to enhance one's health and well-being.

I love Selenite, especially in its clear crystal form, but I think even more so in it's Satin Spar form. I also find it interesting that I had trouble finishing this text *until* today...the feast day of Selene. :)

Working with Selenite, I find it does bring the clarity of mind that it's metaphysically famous for, but tends to bring it more swiftly when actually asked to. Even though it's satiny lustre seems to project and transmit light, it is more of a receptive stone than anything else. It is peaceful... ethereal... and can be quite hypnotizing -- a good crystal to work with when attempting to access guidance from entities on the other side and from Higher Self. It will open your mind's eye to greater potential. An excellent stone to use in meditation, it enhances intuition and clairvoyance, allowing you to receive what knowledge you may have had trouble in the past deciphering or seeing clearly. Anything that was once obscure or cloudy in your mind will suddenly clear as if a fog has been lifted, and messages and/or alternative solutions will be gently recognized and at hand, usually in a kind of soft "aha" moment.

What I found more amazing about the crystal is that even though it works softly as it slowly clears a pathway for you through the mists and sheds light on the very root cause of any issue... it is actually a very healing stone. With the insight it brings into the very nature of something, it allows you to intuit what is needed in order to help heal thyself. Selenite is an excellent crystal to use for problem solving and for help in communing with Deity, as the crystal itself seems to keep a foot in both worlds -- the earthly and the ethereal, connecting matter and Spirit.

Looking up and meditating on the Moon is what it feels like when working with Selenite. It calms, yet can be exciting and awe-inspiring. It soothes, yet can bring epiphany. It envelops you in its soft ethereal glow, yet can bring a powerful flash of insightful light into your being. There is an unmistakable flow of energy that traverses a crystal wand or blade of Selenite. At times it almost appears to be lit up from within -- a good physical symbolic demonstration on how it will metaphysically work for you. And like the Moon, it absorbs light with remarkable speed and reflects it back to you with a very soft voice of revelation. I find it is a perfect conduit, a transmitter if you will, for accessing ancient knowledge that leads to long sought after steps into wisdom.

I feel that my workings with Selenite over the past few weeks has helped me to align myself and open up a more vital and significant channel between me and the gods. I believe it even prompted me to ask about them, but aside from that, it definitely set me on a much clearer path to a greater understanding of some things that were enigmatic and cloaked in uncertainty for some time now. To this key-bearing crystal I say, “Yes! Let the lunar magick of Selenite be your guide”.

Welcome to the Home of Crystalline Phoenix® Selenite Crystal

Crystalline Phoenix® LLC is the legal custodian and caretaker of the Crystalline Phoenix®, a massive, solid vein containing thousands of tons of selenite crystal, which is visible on the surface for over 100 yards. The selenite crystal deposit was laid down over 250 million years ago in a complex array of interlocking, massive selenite crystals, the largest of which we have estimated to be in excess of four tons. The largest selenite crystal we have actually removed from the deposit weighs in excess of 4000 pounds. Each selenite crystal is comprised of compressed laminations or sheets, with the laminations being so compressed in the purest, clearest crystals that they are undetectable. The deposit is surrounded by a massive deposit of Crystalline Phoenix® alabaster, white with thin grey bands. We can supply raw, cut, or polished selenite crystals, ranging from small discs, wands, and handhelds to seat or table slabs and large landscaping, sculptural, or gridding crystals.

Upon acquiring the Crystalline Phoenix®, we established the following objectives:

One artist, Ashana,the beautiful and talented singer, and gifted player of crystal singing bowls, recorded her album "Beloved", while sitting on a CRYSTALLINE PHOENIX® selenite crystal seat. "Ashana's music is a luminous tapestry of soaring angelic vocals and the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls." http://www.ashanamusic.com/

"We hope you will have the opportunity to enjoy
the beauty and energy of this powerful selenite crystal!"

In China, the phoenix is the second most-respected legendary creature (second to the dragon),
and is sent to earth to perform extraordinary works and to help the development of man.
It appears in different stages of the world's progress, and then returns to heaven.
The Egyptian phoenix became popular in early Christian art, literature and symbolism,
as a symbol of Christ representing his resurrection, immortality, and life-after-death.

A "Google Earth" aerial of the area, with the mountains and surrounding desert, depicts a rising Phoenix, protecting the selenite crystal deposit, which is a sentient entity, as is all of Creation. When Trudy Ann Baker asked the selenite crystal deposit for its name, it responded:

Facts About Selenite Crystal

Tests in a sophisticated lab at a major university have shown that when liquids, in glass containers, are placed on our selenite crystal, the chemical composition of the liquid (wine, beer, and coffee tested so far) is changed. Think about it... selenite crystal changes the chemical composition of liquids. And how many forms or types of liquids, or things containing liquids? After all, humans are 70% liquid! In more recent laboratory tests, we have confirmed that selenite will change a persons blood chemistry, for the better. More to come on this later.

Tests in Korea have shown that our selenite crystal produces 800-1000 negative ions per cubic centimeter of surrounding air. A pristine forest produces about 400 negative ions per cubic centimeter. WebMD says:

"Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy."http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes

Most recently, tests have shown our selenite crystal to have a frequency of 244.5 MHZ, whereas, our selenite powder is at 233 MHZ.

"A healthy body frequency is 62-72 MHZ . When the frequency drops, the immune system is compromised. Essential oils start at 52 MHZ and go as high as 320 MHZ, the frequency of rose oil." The only essential oil with a higher frequency than selenite, is rose oil.

Tests have shown that Selenite should never be stored or placed on concrete or cement floors or foundations. This includes thin tiles or carpet or linoleum on top of such foundations. This will drain the selenite! Place at least one inch of wood or natural stone between the selenite and such surfaces. Email us if your selenite has been drained by storage on cement or concrete.

The word “selenite” comes from the Greek “selenites,” meaning “moon stone” or “moon rock,” with the root word “selene” meaning “moon,” and for good reason - the mineral selenite is the near transparent and colorless crystal form of gypsum that exudes a pearly luster which glows and can very much resemble the moon. Selene is also the name of the Greek Goddess of the Moon (a.k.a. Artemis or Diana).
http://www.controverscial.com/Selenite.htm

Gypsum is one of the more common minerals in sedimentary environments. It is a major rock forming mineral that produces massive beds, usually from precipitation out of highly saline waters.
http://www.galleries.com/Minerals/Sulfates/gypsum/gypsum.htm

Gypsum is found as both massive material, including the alabaster variety; and clear crystals, the selenite variety; and parallel fibrous, the satin spar variety.

The largest visible deposit of selenite is in the form of sand crystals at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, where the selenite sand covers an area of 275 square miles. http://www.nps.gov/whsa/index.html

The largest individual selenite crystals have been found in Mexico's Cueva de los Crystales, also known as the Cave of the Crystal Giants, deep under the Naica Mountain in the Chihuahuan Desert. The largest single crystal is 4 feet in diameter, 50 feet long, and weighs over 55 tons. http://www.crystalinks.com/mexicocrystals.html

These photos were taken in the Cave of the Crystal Giants in Mexico (http://www.thecrystalgiants.com/), and show one of the earliest explorers, Leela Hutchison, who is a great admirer of Crystalline Phoenix® selenite and is helping expand our markets.

The Crystalline Phoenix® is very unique in that we find a coral-like growth in cavities in the selenite crystal deposit. Trudy Ann Baker has tuned into the combination of the translucent selenite crystal and this beautiful "Selenite Coral ©" growth and found that, "the selenite crystal unweaves the mis-creations of humanity and the laggards (on the level of the elements at particle level); the cream or white coral gypsum (no energy once brown) surrounds each particle of the elements in an envelope of love with the signature of that particles original divine spark or essence, stepped down in frequency so that the intelligence of the forms (humans) can begin or continue to remember who they are, even if unconsciously (Again on the level of the elements - Ether, air, fire, water, earth). In order to feel this I must say into myself: I call on the part of me that is "Selenite Coral ©" to embody me."

In Edgar Cayce Guide To Gemstones, Minerals, Metals, and More by Shelly Kaehr, PH.D, it states, “Selenite, as I like to call it, is one of the most powerful stones of the New Age. It brings light into the energetic bodies and instantly clears all chakras. It is one of the few stones that does not ever need to be cleansed. It can be used to cleanse other stones as well.”

According to Melody in Love is in the Earth, the reference book on metaphysical properties of the mineral kingdom, the metaphysical properties of gypsum also apply to selenite. She goes on to say that gypsum “is a lovely stone to place in the middle of the medicine wheel; it can bring together the four directions of the medicine wheel and can induce the synthesis of these directions with Mother Earth and Father Sky. This mineral is considered the lucky stone. It provides a strong influence for bringing Good Fortune. It has been used in ceremonies of rain-making by aboriginal tribes….” Melody lists numerous health benefits of working and living with selenite, including “ to extend ones life span.”

Katrina Raphaell, in her “Crystal Trilogy” writes extensively about the benefits of using selenite in crystal healing, and in The Crystalline Transmission states “that this crystal is endowed with a special ability to alter the very nature of physical matter.”

Judy Hall, in her latest book, 101 Power Crystals, The Ultimate Guide to Magical Crystals,Gems, and Stones for Healing and Transformation, states "Selenite stands at the threshold between spirit and matter. A Kabbalistic creation myth tells us that before the universe existed, God was everywhere, but he had to inhale to create space for our world. Realizing he was not present in creation, he fashioned vessels of divine light to populate the universe, but they shattered. Carrying that light, Selenite's task is to reunite the shards of the divine with their source." Relative to Transformational Power, she states that "Selenite accesses angelic consciousness and brings divine light into everything it touches." and "It also facilitates female rites of passage, such as puberty and menopause, encouraging reconnection to the wise feminine divine power." She recommends to "re-empower [selenite] in moonlight." We recommend recharging it in sunlight periodically for short periods.

And according to Simmons and Ashian in The Book of Stones, “selenite clears or bridges blockages and densities in the energy field.” (http://heavenandearthjewelry.com) Simmons goes on to say in his new book Stones of the New Consciousness, “Selenite quickly opens and activates the third eye, crown chakra, and the Soul Star chakra above the head. Selenite combines synergistically with almost any stone or combination of stones.

It is an excellent stone for building energy grids in the home or outdoors. In meditation, selenite stimulates the flow of spiritual energies throughout one’s Liquid Crystal Body Matrix, as well as the astral and etheric bodies. Selenite links easily with the Soul Star chakra above the Crown, drawing one’s Higher Self or higher awareness into the consciousness of the everyday self that is almost effortless.

In fact, selenite can readily facilitate the full opening of the crown chakra, known in the Hindu tradition as the Thousand-Petaled Lotus. Selenite, when used in meditation, can assist in facilitating the integration of the left and right sides of the brain. Selenite’s role in human evolution includes the stimulation and strengthening of the neurological structures connecting the heart and the brain, as well as the spiritual conduits of energy flowing between them.”

In The Crystal Textbook by Roger Joyeux, www.thecrystaltextbook.com, he states "Selenite is among the most precious of all crystalline formations, and indeed offers great joy through the refined and delicate frequencies it brings. Selenite is a bridging stone between the most distant planes of the beyond-the-beyond and the third dimension. It holds third dimensional vibration within its essence, and at the same time, offers access to the light of the soul and the universe to any person with whom it resonates. The light frequencies of the person using Selenite and her soul merge within Selenite’s Oneness. Although a similar connection is possible within many other stones, Selenite works with the Oneness of the soul in the way that the master calls the servant. The master on Earth, who is at One with Selenite, has at her disposal a clear channel to the soul and to the highest levels of self. Selenite draws Oneness together. The Oneness of the All of the beyond, the Oneness from the soul, and the Oneness from the person using it on the third dimension, merge together within Selenite. All of the universe can have a home within its essence." The entire write-up on selenite is well worth reading...very powerful!

In The Complete Crystal Handbook by Cassandra Eason, she states"Thought to be useful for.. attention deficit disorder/hyperactivity...."

And in Crystal Therapy, How to Heal and Empower Your Life with Crystal Energy by Doreen Virtue and Judith Lukomski, "Selenite enables access to information from the Plaides. It also helps heal negativity and fears, and provides alignment and cleansing abilities."

Because selenite crystal"quickly opens and activates the third eye, crown chakra, and the Soul Star chakra above the head", Katrina Raphaell strongly recommends in The Crystalline Transmission Vol. 3, that "Selenite can be used in crystal healings if you use accompanying grounding stones." We recommend the use of grounding stones anytime someone is connecting with selenite in clearing, meditation, or aura work; as well as when physically in the presence of selenite(in a room gridded with selenite or sleeping with selenite under the bed or pillow); or when sculpting, polishing, or handling selenite for any length of time (our suggestions for grounding stones: hematite, black tourmaline, smokey quartz, obsidian, nuumite). These may be held in the hand, placed near the feet, worn as bracelets, carried in pockets, worn as necklaces, and/or integrated with the selenite crystal.

Gypsum has many interesting properties, and has very unique crystal habits. Many Gypsum crystals are found perfectly intact without distortions or parts broken off. Such crystals are found in a clay beds as floater crystals, where they fully form without being attached to a matrix. Gypsum crystals are known for their flexibility, and slim crystals can be slightly bent. It is not recommended to bend good crystals, since they are only slightly flexible, and if flexed just a bit too much they will break.

Gypsum has the same chemical composition as the mineral Anhydrite, but contains water in its structure whereas Anhydrite does not. Many Anhydrite specimens absorb water, transforming into the more common Gypsum. Some Gypsum specimens show evidence of this, containing growths of crumpling layers that testify to their expansion from the addition of water.

In a small number of Gypsum specimens, water gets trapped inside a crystal in a hollow channel while the crystal forms. When such a crystal is rotated, a water "bubble" moves around inside it toward the lowest point in the channel. Such specimens are considered a mineralogical oddity, and are sought by collectors. These are called "enhydros".

Gypsum sometimes forms in sandy areas, and crystals may trap sand inside when forming, causing a specimen to become brown or gray and opaque. These sand inclusions sometimes form hourglass formations in a crystal. They are also present in the well-known "Desert Rose", which is rosette shaped Gypsum with sand inclusions. (The term "Desert Rose" also applies to rosette shaped Barite with sand inclusions, and the two should not be confused.)
