From Selene, in Italian, we have:

Seleniti, that's a sci-fi lunar lifeform

Selenite, a mineral, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenite_(mineral): It is found in nature
in the form of transparent translucent flakes that are crossed by
light, this characteristic gives rise to its name, in fact thanks to
the use that the Greeks made of it for the manufacture of transparent
plates that had the function of glass, still unknown, from which shone
a light similar to that of the moon (σεληνη selene in Greek). For this
reason it is also known by the name of moonstone.

Ha! I accidentally hit the r.p.c. bookmark instead of the adjacent CCCWC one ... and I find a conversation! All is not lost. Mark, I waited till I had something worthy to submit to Another Simple Clue Writing Culmination, edition #273 and, well, I'm still waiting.

Luciano congratulations on winning the Feb. comp at CCCWC.

Stay safe,
