What is Selenite?
Selenite is a specific variety of the mineral gypsum named after the Ancient Greek goddess of the moon, Selene. Selenite gemstones are believed to be a stone of protection that wards the mind (the entryway of light). The Greeks especially appreciated the beauty of selenite, even making windows with the stone.
Selenite is most closely associated with the crown chakra, which represents wisdom and spirituality. The colorless beauty and translucency of selenite is often attributed to purity and peace in both metaphysical beliefs and color theory. Selenite is excellent to use when meditating or trying to achieve mental clarity, as it is believed to compel the person holding it to be honest with themselves.
Selenite is considered a high-energy crystal that vibrates at a high frequency. Despite being an incredibly soft stone, so soft a fingernail can scratch it. It is commonly used by crystal practitioners as a way to cleanse the body, mind, and spirit of negativity and self-limitation, as well as cleanse other gemstones that are used in healing practices.
Selenite is not a traditional birthstone but is associated with the zodiac sign of Cancer and is a must-have for all water signs!
How to use it:
Rest your crystal jewelry on the wands overnight to reset energy.
Place it wherever you want the slate wiped clean, i.e., on your nightstand after a brutal workweek or in your entryway after parties with heavy energy visits.
Hold it in your hands or place it at your altar when praying for guidance/direction.
Use it like a traffic director to direct and command any bad juju to "get to steppin'."
