Selenite is an extremely popular stone and is known as the ‘go to’ crystal for charging purposes. When you purchase a crystal, we always recommend a piece of Selenite to go alongside your product if you don’t already have one. This being because Selenite is an easy alternative to Smudging to charge your crystals.
When you first purchase a stone, whether it be in store or online – your crystal has been through an extremely long journey to get into your hands. From the time that they’re mined, polished or exported elsewhere, transported across the world, picked by suppliers and then sent through the mail or packaged in store, lastly in your hands. Potentially that one crystal has been in the hands of many different people who all hold different energies. Because most crystals hold energies within them, all of these potentially not positive energies have been absorbed and held on by your stone. This is why we find it extremely important to cleanse your stone at the beginning of your own personal journey with the crystal to ensure all negative energy has gone, leaving you with a fresh slate to work with your crystal.
The amazing thing about Selenite is that it self-cleansing. Meaning it does not hold any negative energy though it works to cleanse and charge other crystals within its space and whilst they’re sitting on top of them. For practicality, many customers purchase either Selenite plates or Selenite bowls for convenience where they can place their tumbled stones in or place any larger stone on the plate. We know of many people who use a Selenite bowl to store their stones on and when they’re picking a tumble to take with them for the day that the crystal is all charged and cleansed, ready to work alongside you throughout your journey.
We recommend placing your crystals on the Selenite and leaving them for 24 hours, although this doesn’t mean that if you place your crystal on the Selenite for only 4 hours that it won’t do the job.
If you don’t have a Selenite bowl or plate, don’t worry! You can use Selenite tumbled stones, or a selenite tower. With this process you place the desired crystals around the base of the Selenite and ideally, they would be touching the Selenite to be used to the best of their ability.
So, if you are looking for a way to easily cleanse and rejuvenate your crystals then look no further than Selenite!
