Meaning

Selenite is said to promote mental clarity and stability. It is said to help recognize and resolve one's own behavioral patterns, making it an ideal companion during learning processes and decision-making. It is also said to have a balancing effect on irritability or hyperactivity. It is also said to have a positive effect on self-esteem.

Alleged effect

In healing stone science, selenite is said to have a positive effect on bones and joints. It is said to be supportive in cases of arthritis and osteoporosis and to strengthen tissue. It is also considered a relaxing stone that promotes stress reduction. As a result, it can contribute to better sleep, deeper relaxation, and increased vitality, which can also be reflected in a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Mineralogie & Entstehung

Selenite is the transparent, crystalline variety of gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O). With a Mohs hardness of 2, it is one of the softest minerals and can be scratched with a fingernail. Selenite crystals of up to 12 meters in length have been discovered in the Naica mine (Mexico).

Pflege & Reinigung

NEVER clean with water – selenite is water-soluble and will become dull or dissolve! Instead, wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Charge in moonlight or next to rock crystal. Extremely sensitive to scratches and impacts.

Verwechslungsgefahren & Qualität

Sometimes confused with rock crystal – selenite is much softer (hardness 2 vs. 7) and has a silky, fibrous luster. "Satin Spar" is the fibrous variety that is often sold as selenite – both are gypsum, but true selenite is transparent.
