Selenite is one of the purest and most instantly recognizable members of the gypsum family. Its name comes from the Greek word Selene, meaning Moon, reflecting both its luminous appearance and its long-standing association with clarity, calm, and higher awareness.
Selenite has been used since ancient times for purification, healing, and spiritual work. Because of its ability to transmit light with exceptional efficiency, it has earned a reputation as one of the most powerful cleansing and charging minerals in the crystal world.
Major sources include Mexico, Morocco, USA, Australia, and parts of Europe. Mexican Selenite, in particular, is prized for its clarity, size, and structural refinement.
Selenite is the crystalline form of gypsum, a hydrated calcium sulfate mineral. It forms through the evaporation of saline water, often in sedimentary environments.
