In ancient times the Greeks believed the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene, was trapped inside the gypsum-based crystal. This is why they called this unique and haunting luminescent crystal Selenite. It is one of the most powerful and mystical stones on the planet, connecting to the vibrations of the moon.

Selenite is one of the most powerful energy shifters, and it can quickly erase negativity from the auric field. With its flow and quick cooling and organizing energy, selenite is good at removing blocked and sluggish energy. It enhances consciousness and brings clarity to the mind. 

What?s so special about selenite is that it doesn?t need to be cleansed. Selenite continually channels large amounts of high-vibration energy through itself, and this keeps the stone naturally cleansed. This movement of energy is so constant and powerful that in addition to cleansing itself, selenite can energetically clear and recharge other crystals, clear auras, and change the energy of space.

To cleanse your crystals with selenite, place the crystals, whether they are loose stones, bracelets, malas, or any other form, very close to or touching the selenite. I like to keep a selenite disk on my dresser and put my crystal jewelry on it when I am not wearing them. Due to selenite being incredibly fragile and easily scratched by a fingernail, it must be handled with care. Water and humidity are also particularly damaging to the crystals, so avoid getting them wet.

Selenite has been used in medicinal and spiritual rituals for thousands of years, and it is a good crystal for meditation. When your battery is running low or your energy is fading, all it takes is a quiet moment to hit the refresh button and restore your inner light to its highest potential. Selenite is perfect for this reset, by holding it above your head and focusing on the energies you need to clear away. Feel divine light radiating from your whole being, illuminating your inner temple and connecting you to your spirit. You might like to make an affirmation such as "I fill myself up with white light" and visualize a column of white light flowing from your heart to the rest of your body.

Selenite harnesses the fullness of the Moon to manifest your dream in real-time. It aids in the alignment of your chakras, activating the crown chakra and providing an open pathway to personal transformation. Cleanse your way to clarity!
