Focus on Selenite

Selenite is one of my favourite crystals and one I would say is a must in one's crystal kit!! Selenite is named for Selene, Greek goddess of the Moon because of its moon-like glow. It is a crystalline form of Gypsum and is comprised of some of the lightest elements on earth (calcium, sodium, oxygen, and hydrogen).

Selenite is known as a 'high vibration' crystal, making it a powerful energy tool. It is also self-clearing, and self-charging! Selenite is also one of a very few minerals with the specific metaphysical properties that make it capable of clearing and re-charging other crystals. Not only is Selenite useful for clearing negative or unwanted energies from crystals and stones, it may also be used to effectively clear jewellery, tarot cards, even the surroundings. To create a protective energy grid in your home, place a selenite sphere in the corners of your home. This helps your home to be a peaceful, safe environment that will not be disturbed by outside influences. Some people like to combine it with Black Tourmaline for this purpose. For keeping your stones clear, place 4 rough pieces around your crystal collection or if you have a selenite tower or lamp, you can place gemstones on top of it to be cleared and cleansed.

Selenite:

• is a wind element stone, giving it the capacity to move and transmute energy
• has a calming and uplifting quality
• brings mental clarity
• facilitates communication with spirit guides, the angelic realm, and our higher self
• quickly unblocks stagnant energy
• instills a deep peace
• can be used to energetically align the vertabrae of the spinal column and the chakras by placing a wand and on one's back, along the spine

NOTE: Selenite should never be placed in or near liquid, as it is water-soluble, and will dissolve over time.

Wonderworks has Selenite available in many forms: towers, spheres and wands.
