Selenite Tower 6cm
Many believe selenite has a strong vibration and may help us to remember past lives and enhance psychic ability. White selenite is considered to have many metaphysical and healing properties. It is often used by practitioners to cleanse the aura and to conduct physical, mental and spiritual healing.
In many traditions across the centuries, selenite is believed to have powerful healing benefits. Some consider selenite to be one of the most important crystals in an energy worker’s toolkit.
Not only is selenite believed to carry potent energy that can provide protection and improve well-being, it’s also said to cleanse unwanted energies from your surroundings.
Selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum that’s mostly commonly found in the form of a translucent, multifaceted stone. It’s formed when sulfate and calcium-rich saltwater evaporates, and it has a hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale.
Many people believe selenite is a powerful healer with multiple benefits, though there’s no scientific evidence to support this.
However, there is evidence that selenium — which is selenite’s trace element form — has multiple health benefits. A trace element is a chemical element found in a very small amount in living things.
Here are a some of the main purported healing benefits of a selenite crystal:
- promotes peace and calm
- provides clarity
- clears blocked energy
- elevates the spirit
- helps you access your intuition
- is an effective space cleanser
- vibrates at a very high frequency
- promotes connection and camaraderie
- enhances powers of manifestation
Promotes peace and calm
“Selenite is a crystal that vibrates at a very fine vibration level,” says crystal healer Samantha Jayne. Because of this high frequency, “it’s one of the most powerful crystals in the universe.”
Jayne says that selenite carries an energy of peace and calm. This makes it an ideal crystal for any situation where peace needs to be restored.
Clears blocked energy
Crystal healer Charlotte Grace agrees.
“Selenite vibrates at a super-high frequency, meaning it’s a very powerful healer,” she says.
Grace also notes that selenite is effective at clearing heavy, blocked energy. This allows energy to flow at a high vibration, she says, elevating the spirit.
Grace recommends using selenite to cleanse:
- your energy
- your home
- your belongings
- other crystals
Provides clarity
Some people believe selenite can boost mental clarity and open the door to your intuition. Jayne agrees.
“From a healing perspective, it has the capacity to calm the mind, to bring the soul to peace, and to bring clarity to those who need it,” she says.
Increases positive energy
It’s also believed that selenite can increase positive energy.
“Selenite can be used to recharge you, your space, and your crystals,” Grace says.
It’s important to note that these reported benefits of selenite are based on anecdotal evidence only.
Selenite is connected to Greek mythology, with a history that dates back centuries. Its name comes from the Greek word for “moonstone,” and it’s associated with Selene, the Greek Goddess of the Moon.
That said, selenite isn’t related to the crystal known as moonstone.
Selenite “carries the imprint of all that has happened in this world,” Jayne explains. “It’s also believed to have been used to keep evil spirits out of sickrooms… priests would crush it into a paste to paint onto the doors of a house if someone was ill.”
Selenite is known by a number of other names including:
- satin spar
- desert rose
- gypsum flower
- butterfly selenite or golden phantom (a yellow-hued variety)
- disodium selenite
Selenite types
Selenite can be found in many variations and colors. And each one is believed to have subtle differences in its properties and uses.
Shapes
- Hourglass: used for grounding and raising awareness, and helps release negative patterns
- Wand: used to cleanse the aura, move stagnant energy, and encourage flow
- Tower: creates a protective shield, amplifies energy, dispels negative energy
Grace keeps a selenite wand by the front door to cleanse energy as she walks in. She also suggests using selenite to amplify the energy of other crystals.
“Selenite towers amplify energy, so if you put a selenite tower near other crystals, expect a huge increase,” she says.
Colors
White is the most common color of selenite, but it can be found in gold, peach, and rose hues. Some are designated with unique names.
- White: used for clearing, cleansing, and communication with higher realms
- Golden: lifts awareness and connects to outside energies
- Peach: connects to the sacral chakra, helps balance emotions, and expresses high vibration sexuality
- Rose: changes mental and emotional programming and connects to the third eye chakra, intuition, and manifestation
Cleansing and charging seleniteCleansing is an important step when working with crystal energy. Grace notes that all crystals soak up negative energy.
Some believe selenite doesn’t need to be cleansed, but Grace disagrees. Cleansing is necessary even for selenite, despite its high vibration, she says.
To cleanse your selenite:
- Use a smudge stick and pass the crystal through the smoke.
- Place your crystal in a bowl of dry salt.
- Use sound vibrations from a singing bowl or bell.
- Place your crystal in sunlight for a maximum of 30 minutes.
- Place it in moonlight overnight.
After cleansing, it’s time to recharge your crystal. You can use a crystal charging plate or place your crystal under the sun or moonlight to soak up additional energy.
“Once your crystal is cleansed, charging your crystals will give them energy to perform at their best,” Grace explains.
Activating seleniteThe final step is activating your selenite. Grace suggests the steps below:
- Hold your selenite in your hand, imagining a white light surrounding it.
- Inhale and exhale deeply.
- Repeat an affirmation out loud or in your head about what you want to manifest.
- Then use your selenite as desired.
Possible affirmations include “I am connected” or “My energy is high vibration and moving freely,” adds Grace.
