Selenite is a specific variety of the mineral gypsum named after the Ancient Greek goddess of the moon, Selene.

Selenite is most closely associated with the crown chakra, which represents wisdom and spirituality, as well as the third eye chakra.

It's thought to be the greatest cleansing stone on the planet, purifying all the energy in its surrounding environment. Selenite stones work well in jewelry, particularly if partnered with other crystals. It removes stagnant energy from your aura and helps you find your true purpose. It injects you with clarity, dissolving distractions and transforming negative energy into hope, love, and positive vibrations.

Caring for Selenite: Selenite is a delicate stone that should be handled with care. When not wearing selenite jewelry, store it away from other stones and materials in a soft fabric bag to prevent scratching. To clean selenite, simply use a soft cloth free of impregnations. Selenite is water soluble, so it's recommended to avoid submersing or rinsing your stone in water. For this same reason, it is suggested to not use cleaners or polishes. Remove selenite jewelry before participating in sports or other activities that can cause perspiration. Keep selenite out of direct prolonged sunlight, as this exposure can cause loss of luster.
