/ˈsɛlɪnʌɪt/

Forms: 1500s silenite, (1600s silonite), 1600s– selenite.

Etymology: < Latin selēnītēs selenites n.

Mineralogy and Chemistry.

1. A stone described by ancient writers; apparently to be identified with the mineral now so called (see 2), though the accounts of its properties are inconsistent and partly fabulous. (In the 17–18th centuries often identified with stones described by travellers or existing in collections.)
