More about Selenite

Selenite has a long history of use in Western cultures. In fact, the name selenite is derived from the ancient Greek word for “moon”. Ancient peoples believed the stone was affected by the phases of the moon.

Selenite is a transparent variety of gypsum. All types of gypsum are composed of a common sulfate mineral. Other varieties include satin spar and desert rose. Though most selenite beads on the market, including ours, have been stabilized to increase durability and water resistance, they're still somewhat fragile. Selenite beads should not be submerged in water and extra care should be taken to avoid hard knocks and scratches.

Selenite is believed to cleanse and purify its environment, including other crystals and gemstones. It is often used to clear negative energies and to promote a sense of peace and clarity.
