It's fascinating to see the design world enamored with gems, shells, geos, and stones because there is something medicinal about bringing these natural beauties into our home. While visiting High Point during Fall Market I noted even more of these adornments onto lighting, furniture, mirrors and accessories. I wrote about this trend last year during Market, but the interest is growing, and our collective fascinating with the natural world seems no longer a trend but an aesthetic that is here to stay. The specific use of crystals and minerals in decoration bring a spiritual aspect to the home. Selenite is specifically known to instill clarity of mind and a deep sense of inner peace. What is Selenite?
This gypsum mineral is often referred to as the "desert rose". It has a crystalline structure and is essentially made up of Sulfate dihydrate. Selenite can be differentiated from its other mineral cousins by its jagged sharp edges, giving it a dramatic look.
While given a thorough tour of luxury art, furniture and accessory showroom John-Richard at High Point, I was enamored with much I saw, but the use of Selenite stopped me in my tracks. While on the tour, I met up with John-Richard's president and this is what he had to say--

"Our designers are inspired by nature and this season we see lamps with stunning selenite, accent tables with branch like legs, rich maple and amara ebony veneers on a cabinet and a spectacular chandelier of geode circles."~Alan Galbraith
