What is Selenite?

Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum composed of hydrous calcium sulphate. It is naturally soft with a Mohs hardness of around 2 and often forms in elongated wand like structures that feel intuitive to hold and work with. 

Historically Selenite has been associated with lunar energy reflection and spiritual protection. Ancient cultures valued it for creating sacred boundaries and for supporting connection with unseen realms. Today it continues to be used as a spiritual tool for clarity cleansing and conscious awareness.

The name Selenite was given to the stone by the ancient Greeks (from the Greek word Selene, which means moon). Some say it was given this name because the colour and sheen of Selenite crystals reminded the Greeks of the moon itself. Others say the name was given because Selenite was exclusively used by the Greeks to make windows that allowed one to see the moon at night.
