Rock Lore & Tidbits: Selenite is a
variety of gypsum. which is readily cleaved
into natural wands or sheets. It is a very
soft stone which can be scratched easily
with a fingernail. It is also somewhat
flexible and can be bent with gentle
pressure, which is why it is sometimes
found in curls called ram's horn
formations. It is also called Satin Spar at
times, though this term is also used for a
type of calcite.
The name selenite comes from the Greek
word Selene, meaning moon. It has been
used for window panes, such as those in
Santa Sabina in Rome. The giant crystals
in the Naica Cave of Crystals are Selenite
Gypsum.

subconscious, and emotional well-being.
The moon association also brings water
energy to the fore, creating the flexibility
and intuition.
Though Selenite is associated with the
moon, it is also a sweet angel stone. It is
used for contacting and communicating
with angels for guidance. It can also be
used for finding and working with other
spirit guides.
Selenite remove energy blocks, particularly
from the physical and etheric bodies. It can
also remove energy blocks in the bodies of
other crystals and stones. This makes it
excellent for enhancing the properties of
other stones and for clearing and charging
them.
Selenite is a stone of powerful intuition
and psychic awareness through its
influence on the third eye chakra. You can
access past lives and do past life work and
healing with it. It is also beneficial for
psychic efforts, especially clairvoyance.
Meditation and spiritual development are
eased and promoted by selenite.
Meditations become sparkling clear over
time when working with selenite and it
brings a clarity to your spiritual
understanding of the universe and your
place in it.
Selenite can be used to dispel negativity,
both on an emotional and an etheric level.
This makes it a good stone for protection.
This energy combined with its angel
associations makes it outstanding for
More on Selenite from my personal
perspective.
I use selenite logs and slabs extensively to
clear and charge other crystals and stones.
There is always a piece of selenite nearby
with other stones resting on it. I personally
prefer this over clusters of quartz or
amethyst, though this may be because I
have strong ties to the moon. It would
certainly work for people with ties to other
celestial bodies, though.
When I say that selenite is related to
fertility, it's good to remember that this
includes creative fertility of all kinds. Until
I knew about the fertility energies, I
thought it was a little odd that it felt so
appropriate to keep a selenite log on my
jewelry desk and often work with it sitting
on my leg. It felt, right, though, so I went
with it, only to find later that it made
perfect sense.

angelic protection. You need only hold the
selenite and pray or ask with intent for
angels to protect you.
Selenite is a stone of love, which on the
surface may seem odd. Its properties of
mental flexibility and honesty, help
maintain a loving relationship comfortably
and with ease. It also brings harmony and
inner peace which allow for recognizing
love and acting in a loving manner.

removing blocks to healing, dissolving
secondary gain issues, confusion,
particularly from alzheimer's disease or
dementia, aligning the spine, decreasing
epilepsy and seizures.It also promotes
flexibility, assists with absorption of
calcium and other minerals and vitamins.
Selenite is used to promote fertility,
increase the libido, and is a protector of
pregnancy and motherhood. Note that
healing crystal meanings are spiritual
supports to healing and are not
prescriptions or healthcare information.
Selenite is primarily associated with the
Crown and Third Eye chakras. It is also
related to the sacral chakra.

I ended up with selenite log from a friend. It is in a cellophane like bag and
for some reason it kinda pushes me away from it. Like, I never want to take
it out It is odd to me. I tried setting it out on a full moon, but then put it back
in its bag and layed it on my night stand. I really don't know a whole lot
about anything yet, it is just weird to me.
