Selenite is greatly known for its cleansing properties. It cleanses and amplifies the energy within each crystal that comes in contact with it, making it ideal for activating your crystals and jewelry. Unlike any other crystal, it doesn't need charging, and should not be immersed in or cleansed with water. Just sit your crystals on top of the charging plate before bed! Selenite, with its moon-like reflections, is absolutely stunning! Selenite is a crystallized form of Gypsum, forming on salt plains or anywhere there is desert, salt water, old mines, or tunnels. The name Selenite actually comes from the Greek word for "moon" - similarly you may have heard of the beautiful Selenite the Ancient Greek Goddess of the moon.
