Selenite is a colorless form of gypsum. Selenite, satin spar, desert rose, and gypsum flower are four varieties of the same mineral gypsum; all four varieties show obvious crystalline structure.

The four “crystalline” varieties of gypsum are sometimes grouped together and called Selenite. Also, because gypsum has natural thermal insulating properties, all varieties feel warm to the touch.

Although the name Selenite means ‘moonstone’ it has no connection with the other more beautiful and durable Moonstone gemstones. The silvery quality of the stone may have reminded those who name it of the moon, and in turn the Greek moon goddess Selene.

METAPHYSICAL:
Selenite is said to be a powerful crystal of psychic communication. It will aid in interaction with one’s wise ancestors, angels and spirit guides as well as loved ones that have gone beyond.

Translucent Selenite has a very fine vibration and shall bring clarity of mind, opening the crown and higher chakras while accessing angelic consciousness and higher guidance. Pure Selenite is a link to the light body, helping to anchor it in the earth vibration.
