WHAT IS SELENITE? Selenite (Selene Stone) is crystallized gypsum that has a luminescent glow. Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral made of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Selenite is extremely soft and can even be slightly bent into a shape which makes it easy to work with to make wand and other shapes. Selenite is a cloudy glistening white with striations that often form into towers. As with all crystals, there are many branches to the selenite family including: Desert Rose, Gypsum Flower, Fishtail Selenite, Hourglass Selenite, Azurite Gypsum, & Butterscotch Selenite, to name just a few. Some kinds of selenite shine as fluorescent yellow under UV rays.
WHY IT'S AWESOME? Selenite was first appreciated in Ancient Greece and linked to the Goddess, Selene, of the Moon, perhaps even containing the soul of the moon. People believed that selenite grew and shrank according to the moon’s phases. Legend has it that God took a breath while creating divine light, and fallen particles of the exhalation breath formed into selenite on Earth. The ancient Mesopotamians used selenite in a rooms where the sick lay, believing it would keep away evil spirits.
