Crystal of the week: Selenite

Welcome back to this weeks post of crystal of the week. Who is excited for this weeks blog post as much as I am?

Because this weeks crystal is: Selenite

Selenite received its name from the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene. This beautiful stone is from hydrous calcium sulfate. This mineral belongs to the family of gypsum crystals. Selenite is easy to see when it reflects light, often looking as if a rock has fallen directly from the moon.

 

Selenite crystals are most commonly found in the USA, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Greece, Japan, Australia, Argentina and Brazil. They can be most commonly found in clay beds, or around hot spring areas. Selenite healing properties flow in a way similar to water. This crystal can be found in 3 forms: Green Selenite, Orange Selenite and Selenite Desert Rose.

 

Selenite is a crystal mainly used for energy cleansing, meditation and healing. Selenite wands in particular are used for its protective energy from the angelic realm to clear and shield your body, these are most commonly used during mediation by simply holding Selenite above the head during meditation to cleanse, clear and balance all the chakras.

 

It is related to peace, purity, and higher consciousness, and is often used to assist with meditation and astral projection.

Selenite is a wonderful crystal for women as it will bring radiance and harmony, and support through all cycles of life. Most woman tend to wear Selenite in jewellery to attract love, fertility, and to maintain fidelity. Also to calm throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Selenite can also enhance chances of reconnection. Simply send a small piece to someone with whom you wish to reconnect with.

Selenite is ideal for creating your own space and provides the room with an uplifting environment protected from outside influences. Simply place Selenite indoors in the corners of a house or room, or in the workplace.

Also use Selenite eggs or clusters to protect from outside negativity, especially at night. Give a sphere to children who fear the dark and explain how moon rays are captured within the crystals and will shine on them as they sleep.
