Selenite
Named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, Selenite is as ethereal and enchanting as its celestial namesake. Known for its translucent white or peachy hues, selenite has the unique ability to cleanse and recharge other crystals, making it the battery of all crystals. Selenite is typically translucent, with a pearly sheen and often appears in long, thin, white or colorless formations. It can also be found in fibrous, crystal-like clusters.
Selenite is often used for clearing negative energy, both in physical spaces and from other crystals. Its cleansing abilities are highly valued in spiritual practices. Unlike many crystals, selenite does not require cleansing because it self-cleanses, which makes it ideal for use in purifying environments.
Main Benefits of Selenite
High Vibration: Selenite is perfect for meditation and spiritual work. It has a high vibrational frequency that is believed to amplify the energy of other stones. It can be placed near other crystals to enhance their properties. Its ability to clear stagnant or negative energy from a room or space makes it a favorite for meditation or spiritual healing.
Energy Cleansing: Think of selenite as the Marie Kondo of crystals, tidying up and removing any negative energy that doesn’t spark joy.
Connection to Higher Realms: Selenite is often used to facilitate communication with higher beings, such as angels, guides, and ancestors. Its high frequency allows for clearer spiritual communication and connection.
Healing & Balance: Selenite is said to aid in the healing process, particularly for emotional and physical imbalances. Its energy is considered purifying and can help release deep-seated emotional trauma, stress, and negative emotions, leading to emotional clarity and peace.
Chakra Alignment: It is especially associated with the crown chakra, the energy center related to higher consciousness, spirituality, and enlightenment. Selenite is believed to help align the chakras and activate the flow of energy through the body, promoting a sense of connectedness to the universe.
Care Instructions for Your Selenite
Keep It Dry
While selenite loves to clear the air, it’s not so fond of water. In fact, selenite and water mix about as well as cats and baths. Keep your selenite crystal dry and away from any moisture to prevent it from dissolving.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Selenite is sensitive to chemicals. Keep it away from cleaning agents, perfumes, and other harsh substances.
Handle with Care
Selenite is physically quite soft. Handle it gently and avoid dropping it, as it can be easily scratched or chipped.
