Selenite

Selenite is a soft, translucent mineral that is a more clear form of gypsum. The selenite I see most often is white (colorless), but it also occurs in blue, green, brown or a grayish color.

Selenite Used for Healing

• Selenite has a reputation for clearing and strengthening the spine (some crystal shops have selenite "tree trunks" for customers to rest on)
• Selenite is used to cleanse the aura and to remove negativity from the energy field

• Selenite has been used to de-stress and energize
