Selenite – the crystal of the moon meaning

I have always felt connected to Selenite. When my spiritual mentor first took me to intuitively choose my very own crystals, it was the translucent magic between sharp lines that first attracted me to Selenite. When I held it in my hand – boom, we were connected.

Of course I didn’t know when I first selected it that Selenite is the crystal most associated with the moon. No wonder we found each other so fast!

Cleansing Selenite

Selenite is one of the most low maintenance in fact it pretty much looks after itself. Selenite is a light carrier, so don’t let it stay inside your purse or drawer for too long. It dulls the best of its properties, and you’ll find that it almost seems to have no shine when you retrieve it from a dark place.

Selenite does not like to be wet so when cleansing it, keep it dry and place in the light of the full moon to recharge. You can also cleanse it by simply holding it in your hand and willing the energies of the universe to cleanse and revitalise it for you.
