Selenite

Physical Information

Selenite is a transparent to milky-white variety of the mineral gypsum, composed of calcium sulfate.
It forms in long, fibrous, and often striated crystal structures, giving it a silky, glowing appearance that seems to radiate inner light.
Selenite can grow into large, clear blades, satin-like wands, or desert rose formations depending on environment.
Because it is relatively soft (Mohs hardness 2), it can be scratched easily and should be kept dry, as water can dissolve or damage its surface.
Major sources include Mexico, Morocco, Greece, Australia, and the USA.
Its luminous, high-vibration look has made Selenite one of the most recognizable cleansing crystals.

Metaphysical Properties

Selenite is associated with purification, clarity, and energetic cleansing.
It is believed to cleanse the aura, clear stagnant energy, and elevate spiritual awareness.
Many use Selenite to purify other crystals, create protective spaces, and support meditation.
Its high-frequency energy helps calm the mind, strengthen intuition, and promote mental clarity.
Selenite is also seen as a bridge to higher guidance — ideal for spiritual practices, healing work, and creating peaceful, uplifting environments.
