Selenite
Dear Beloved Customers, Legacy Timeless Jewel Page presents you with our Selenite Content! Let's enjoy!
So, what is Selenite? Selenite is known as a cleansing gemstone which is also considered to be the most important energy worker’s toolkit. It is a form of mineral gypsum which is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Selenites are often formed as a columnar crystal while they can also be seen as an attachment to a matrix or base rock. Moreover, they are commonly found as entire free-floating crystals, sometimes in clay beds. They are slightly flexible and not elastic which means they can be bent although they cannot return to their original form.
Selenite has a distinguishing characteristic such as hardness of 2 on Mohs scale (which means they are soft enough to scratch with a fingernail) and three unequal cleavages. They come in a pale shades of white color and a clay-like texture, and have easy fusibility with loss of water. They can grow from minute to giant size. The largest specimen of selenite found is in the Naica Mine’s Cave of the Crystals; being nearly 12 meters long and weighing 55 tons, aging over 500,000 years old. This Naica Mine is situated in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Selenite is most used for cleansing other gemstones with their pure energy, sometimes under moonlight or sunlight, and sometimes just using the stone alone. You can also use a Selenite charging plate to charge other gemstones which naturally cleanses, charges, reactivates and amplifies crystals.
The name: Selenite is named after the Greek goddess of the moon: Selene, and it means ‘moonstone’ although it is not related with the moonstone family. The stone is said to bring protection, healing energy, provide clarity and enhance manifestation. You can use Selenite to cleanse your home, your energy or your crystal’s energy. Selenite can widely be found across the world ranging from rich Gods’ histories of Greece to the diverse cultures of the USA. However, because of their softness, shaping raw selenite into round smooth beads is a very delicate and difficult process. So that they are valued and pricey like other gemstones.
There are commonly four types of Selenite including satin spar, desert rose, and gypsum flower. The standard Selenite is the pearly white color stone, mostly transparent and colorless, and is being used for clearing out all the negative energy to connect with other realms. The Satin Spar version is mostly silky and fibrous and has chatoyancy (cat’s eye effect), whereas desert rose is like a form of flower blooming in a golden color. The last one, gypsum flower, is formed as curved rosettes of fibrous gypsum crystals, bringing healing vibes. Although selenite is famous for healing energy, it can also be used for skeletal issues. It is said to help stack the spine into alignment or strengthen the skeletal system. It is also said to be associated with the crown chakra which represents wisdom and spirituality, as well as the third eye chakra. Colorless beauty of selenite is often regarded as purity and peace according to metaphysical beliefs and color theory. You can either wear a selenite bracelet together with other gemstone bracelets or just put a selenite stone at your home, then it will bring you harmony. There are also other shapes like wand, tower and hourglass, which cleanse the aura, help release negative patterns, and create a protective shield, respectively.
However, there is one thing you need to remember after you have used your selenite to cleanse everything you want. Which is… Recharging a Selenite! You can use a smudging kit by passing the stone through the smudging smoke, or use sound vibrations from a singing bowl or bell. In addition to them, you can just put the selenite stone in a bowl of dry salt or place it under sunlight for minutes.
In these ways, your selenite will be full of pure energy again, you can use it again and again! If you are interested in Selenite items, you can come and visit our store at New York! Or you can also check them out through our website mentioned in the comment section! Thank you so much!
