SELENITE (The Ultimate Cleansing Stone / The Stone of Mental Clarity) is named after Selene, Greek goddess of the Moon because of its moon-like glow. It brings mental clarity and guidance.

It can even take away energy blocks and can greatly amplify the effects of other crystals around it. This makes it excellent for enhancing the properties of other stones and for cleansing and charging them. Use Selenite to form a safe and peaceful space away from outside disturbances. It brings a spiritual understanding of the universe and your place in it. Selenite is additionally a stone of truth and honesty. This promotes good business practices as well as honesty in other types of relationships.
Selenite's strong ability to cleanse makes it an excellent stone for removing the effects of environmental pollution from water, air, clothes, and food. It is known primarily as a mental cleanser in all forms: thoughts, feelings, and reality-based patterns that create barriers to creativity and true expression in one's life experience.
Selenite derives its name from the Moon Goddess Selene because of its beautiful crystalline glow which is often moonlight white or pale grey in color. This "Moon Goddess Crystal" is most powerful at night, but has the beneficial energies to provide strength during the day also.
Selenite crystal provides clarity of mind, alleviates fears and insecurities, opens one up to communication from the higher planes, and facilitates information retention. It is helpful for those who have trouble studying or learning as it enhances mental perception, focus, and concentration.
