Selenite is a popular crystal that comes in many natural and finished forms. This gemstone is named for Selene, Greek goddess of the Moon because of its moon-like glow. Some people see the stone change with the waxing and waning of the moon. It is a stone of protection, is said to align the spine, benefit the skeleton, heal old emotional wounds and transform negative energy to healing, forgiveness and acceptance. Selenite is a good stone for Taurus.
Selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum. It can be found in the salt plains in northern Oklahoma, and in giant caverns in Mexico. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has a
selenite crystal digging area in Oklahoma that is in operation from April through October 15th. The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge has a wildlife observation tower at the entrance to the digging area, and you can take up to 10 pounds of crystals and one cluster each day. Single crystals, penetration twins, and clusters are the typical crystal shapes found, and clusters up to 38 pounds have been found there!
Selenite is used to cleanse and recharge other crystals by placing them on the selenite or including it in the space you store your stones. Many people prefer this method of cleansing and recharging to using salt, as it is less abrasive and a LOT faster!
Selenite has a very long crystalline structure that helps create a peaceful atmosphere around itself. Rubbing a smooth piece of Selenite will calm and lift your energy.
Selenite corresponds to the 7th, or Crown Chakra at the top of the head, and promotes flexibility, and clarity in decision-making. Placing a selenite stone on your third eye chakra can help you to improve your psychic or telepathic abilities.
With all of the power that selenite holds, it is a very fragile stone. It is water soluble and will scratch easily. Many people believe that this is because it exists between the material and the ethereal planes. It is a very special and powerful stone, and you would do well to have several around your home.
