Selenite Beads

Selenite has a long history of use in Western cultures. In fact, the name selenite is derived from the ancient Greek word for “moon”. Ancient peoples believed the stone was affected by the phases of the moon.

Selenite is a transparent variety of gypsum. All types of gypsum are composed of a common sulfate mineral. Other varieties include satin spar and desert rose. Selenite is a very fragile stone. Do not submerge it in water, and extra care should be taken not to scratch the surface.

Selenite is used metaphysically to perform energy cleansings.
