Translucent pearly white
Selenite
Cleansing, peace & light · Crown chakra
Selenite is the luminous white crystal named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, for its soft moonlit glow. Unusually among stones, it is believed to cleanse itself and everything around it — never needing to be charged, only to do the charging.
What it means
Selenite is read as a stone of cleansing, peace and light — a crystal that clears stale energy from a room, a person or other stones, and fills the space with calm. It is the crystal of a clean slate, said to lift heaviness and let light back in.
Who selenite is for
Selenite tends to draw people craving a reset — anyone moving house, clearing out the old, or wanting a more peaceful home. If a space or a mood feels stuck and stagnant, this is the stone said to sweep it clean and let things breathe again.
