Selenite is a stunning crystal known for its translucent, moon-like glow and its many uses in energy work, including sound healing, and reiki.
It stands out for its ability to cleanse, calm, and bring balance, making it a favourite for therapists, healers, and crystal enthusiasts. Its origins, unique properties, and versatility all contribute to its widespread popularity.
Where is Selenite Found?
Selenite is found in various parts of the world, especially in dry and mineral-rich regions. Some of the largest deposits come from Mexico, Morocco, the United States, and Australia. One of the most famous locations is the Cave of Crystals in Naica, Mexico, which contains some of the largest selenite crystals ever discovered—many of them taller than a person. These impressive formations grew over thousands of years, some say millions of years, in underground conditions with the perfect combination of heat and mineral-rich water.
Other sources of selenite include Spain, Madagascar, and Eastern Europe. These locations produce smaller but equally beautiful formations that are widely used in jewellery, home decor, and spiritual tools.
What Are Selenite’s Properties?
Selenite is a type of gypsum, known for its smooth, fibrous texture and luminous appearance. It’s a relatively soft mineral, scoring only 2 on the Mohs scale, which means it can scratch or chip easily. Despite its fragility, it’s treasured for its beauty and metaphysical properties.
Spiritually, selenite is believed to carry high vibrational energy that helps cleanse negativity, promote mental clarity, and balance emotions. It’s also known for its ability to self-clean, meaning it doesn’t need regular purification like many other crystals. This makes it an ideal tool for charging other stones and maintaining positive energy.
Why Is Selenite So Sought After?
Selenite’s popularity stems from its versatility and spiritual benefits. Many people use it to clear energy in their therapy rooms, homes or workplaces, often placing selenite lamps, towers, or candles in corners, or key areas to promote balance, peace and harmony. Its connection to the crown chakra makes it especially valued for meditation, as it’s believed to enhance focus and facilitate spiritual growth, and their energy is thought to help remove stagnant vibes, creating a peaceful and uplifting environment.
It’s also known as “the telephone stone” by some energy workers because it is so high vibration that it helps energy workers connect with the higher realms. It can really help
The crystal is so versatile though that it is crafted into many forms, including jewellery, wands, bowls, and decorative items. Despite its incredible properties, selenite is relatively affordable, making it accessible to a wide audience.
How Can I Use Selenite To Support My Sound, Reiki or Energy Healing Practice?
There are many ways selenite can be used to enhance your practice. Some of the ways in which I use it, is to place selenite in the corners of my practice room to raise the vibration and to help clear any negative energy released from the client. I also have a selenite colour changing lamp, which can be changed according to the client's preferences, and adds a calming mood to the room, whilst cleansing it.
Given its nickname as the “telephone stone”, selenite can be worn on the body in the form of jewellery to help one connect to the higher realms, assisting with visions, insights, and awareness. In energy work, this could help a practitioner to download messages or information in the astral plane or auric field that would assist the healing session, for the highest good, and certainly this is how I use it too.
In the past I’ve also had clients that needed emotional support, and in these cases I’ve placed appropriate crystals, including selenite, on the relevant areas to help boost the cleansing or transmission or sound frequency into that area. But some say it boosts their own connection to self and intuition too.
With reiki, the same applies. But a selenite wand or selenite chakra wand can also be used to scan the client’s aura more easily, using the wand to help you feel or pick up jumps or gaps in the energy field, sensing energy changes in your hands. This could also be done before any kind of healing session too. In truth, the uses are wide, the only thing limiting it is your imagination.
Conclusion
In summary, if you work in the field of sound healing, energy healing, or reiki, selenite is a great tool for its ability to cleanse energy, including your own, and offers a peaceful presence and spiritual significance to any therapy room, office, or home environment. It may also assist in connection to one's intuition, visions, and in the connection to messages from the astral realms, making it a very special & cherished addition to any crystal collection. It is worth considering though where you get your selenite from, and it’s always worth buying it from an ethical crystal store, shop or specialist.
