The Liquid-Light Stone
Selenite is a soft, luminous form of gypsum named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. It is prized as a high-vibration cleansing stone that many believe never needs cleansing itself.
Selenite Properties
- Cleansing: traditionally clears and recharges other crystals
- Crown chakra: supports calm, clarity and spiritual connection
- Energy flow: believed to remove stagnant energy from a space
- Peace: brings a soft, serene atmosphere to a room
How to Use a Selenite Wand
Glide a selenite wand around your body or over other stones to symbolically sweep away heavy energy, or rest jewelry on a selenite plate overnight. See the full routine in our guide to cleansing and charging crystals.
Important Care Note
Selenite is soft and dissolves in water—never rinse or soak it. Keep it dry and dust it gently. Learn more care in our guide to storing crystals.
