Selenite jewelry has a unique appeal in the world of natural stones. Its pearly white, luminous, almost ethereal appearance gives each piece of jewelry a pure and soothing look. Selenite gets its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and when you see its satin reflections playing with the light, you immediately understand why.
It is a crystallized variety of gypsum, rarer in jewelry than other stones, which makes each piece all the more precious.
In lithotherapy, selenite is considered one of the most powerful purification stones.
It cleanses stagnant energies, clarifies the mind, and raises the vibration of a space or person. It primarily works on the crown chakra and the third eye chakra, promoting meditation, intuition, and spiritual connection. What makes selenite unique is that it is reputed to never need to be purified itself: it recharges on its own and can even recharge other stones placed in its contact.
Selenite pairs beautifully with amethyst (spiritual appeasement), rock crystal (amplification), or moonstone (feminine intuition). For maintenance, beware: selenite is very sensitive to water.
Never rinse it, never allow prolonged contact with moisture. Purify it by smudging with white sage or simply by placing it in the moonlight.
