Ahhh, selenite. I am firmly of the belief that you cannot have too much of this stuff. 

It is pretty unique among crystals in that not only do you never need to cleanse or charge it, it can be used to cleanse and charge other crystals. I like to have a few selenite trinket bowls and plates to cleanse and charge stones overnight that I have used through the day.

Some people like to put their selenite out under the full moon for a bit of an extra charge – but I have heard others who have had it literally crack with all that energy! 

It is a great stone to keep near your front door or on windowsills to keep out negativity and to act as a bit of a sentinel for protection. 

It’s also a great stone for meditation, insight, peace, connecting with source and our purest and highest intentions.

Two cautions though – in the more raw forms it can be really splintery – so take care with it and probably keep it away from children (polished selenite is fine). And NEVER put it under water – it will dissolve! I met a guy at a crystal fair once who had a theory that the reason no-one can find Atlantis is because when it sunk it was completely made of selenite, so it all dissolved … I’m not sure whether or not he was joking, but it’s a theory!

Do you like selenite? How do you like to use it?
