Where Is It From? Selenite Meaning

Selenite has been found in a large number of locations, including Mexico, Russia, Morocco, Greece, Poland, Germany, France, England, Australia and the USA.  

Its color may be pure white, transparent, orange, peach, grey-blue, green, brown and bright golden yellow, like the cluster shown in the image shown further down the page.

There are a couple of meanings of the name Selenite. The most well known meaning relates to the Greek word meaning "moon".

Its meaning is also said to be related to the Greek Goddess Selene, who was the goddess of the moon.

This related to the way that there was a reflection of color within the first stones being looked at, and this was the color of the moon.

A lovely but less common color is the Green Selenite, which is very unusual, and mainly comes from Australia. 

They occur as clusters of crystals and they are very fragile. They are fine needle-like green crystals, with some white and brown color towards the base of them.

Why Would You Use Selenite?

Selenite crystals are high vibration stones that will move your spiritual growth forward quickly. 

They are a stone of the third eye chakra, the crown chakra and the soul star chakra.

By opening the crown chakra, this stone allows you to access the transpersonal chakras, from the eighth chakra through to the fourteenth chakra.

Use this stone at the heart chakra or third eye first, and you may find that you will feel the energy moving through the crown chakra.

Cleansing Selenite Crystals

Contact with water is not recommended for any variety of Selenite. When cleansing these stones, use other methods of cleansing your crystals.

Note: DO NOT WET your Selenite Crystals, as they may dissolve in water. Alternatively they may not actually dissolve but may discolor or pit.

This may vary according to the specific variety. Even sealed pieces that have been fashioned into pendants or made into hearts or other shapes may lose their lovely sheen. 

In some cases, depending on the type, thin slices may come away. I had that happen when I spilled something onto a slab of this stone that I use as a background when taking photos, when I gently rinsed it off. 

Although it is important to cleanse crystals regularly, Selenite is a stone that you need to take a degree of care with when cleansing it.
