Where Does Selenite Get its Name?

Selenite is a crystal whose appearance appropriately indicates the energetic potential contained within its lattice structure. This crystal, named after the Greek moon goddess, Selene, is known for its ability to harness the soft, feminine power of the moon. Known for its white, transparent color, the glassy sheen of selenite is most reminiscent of a moonbeam stored in crystal form.

Where Does Selenite Come From?

Selenite is an evaporative mineral, meaning it forms as an aqueous solution evaporates, allowing the minerals dispersed in the liquid to concentrate and accumulate. For this reason, selenite is commonly found in alkaline lake muds, clay beds, evaporated seas, salt flats, hot springs, and caves. Selenite grows best in undisturbed areas and large deposits have been accessed throughout the world.

Caves containing enormous deposits of selenite have been discovered on every continent, the largest of which is called the Cave of Giants or the Cave of Crystals located in Mexico. The largest selenite crystal found in this area is 12 meters in length and 4 meters in diameter! Due to its abundance, selenite is mined and distributed in large amounts, making it an inexpensive addition to your crystal collection!

Selenite & The Moon

Selenite is a special stone, associated with lunar, aquatic and feminine energies. This crystal draws its power directly from the moon. Thus, it effectively serves as an energetic cleanser.

It is said that after being charged in the light of the full moon, selenite reflects more brightly and becomes prone to lending angelic support and protection to those who care for it.

Selenite & The Divine Feminine

All women, as well as men who are willing to embrace femininity, will be graced with selenite’s favor. The lunar power stored in this crystal helps balance hormones and regulate biological cycles. This stone is recommended for support during times associated with physical transformation, as during the onset of puberty, menarche, pregnancy or menopause.

What is the Meaning of Selenite

Formed in liquid, this stone represents the dynamic fluidity of water, serving as a universal harmonizer by lending its soft fluid support wherever the etheric body is weakest. In the realm of crystal energy healing, selenite is known for its radiant metaphysical properties of energy activation and reaching higher planes of consciousness. Due to its fluid quality, it is considered a powerful crystal for clearing away energy blockages.

Selenite is considered the ideal stone for connecting with spirit guides or guardian angels. It is a magnificent stone for opening the third eye and crown chakra energies, and magnifying the effects of meditations, other crystals and other forms of  vibrational healing.

How to Use Selenite

Placing selenite in moonlight will effectively charge it with harmonizing energy which then can be transferred to other crystals or gems by placing them close to or on top of the charged selenite. Once charged, selenite is said to vibrate at a higher frequency, making it the perfect stone for metaphysical healing and giving it an association with the crown and third eye chakras.

Selenite is the perfect crystal to enhance a living space or office as it lends its harmonizing energy throughout an area, working to energize and stimulate any individual within its sphere of influence.
