selenite: calming, clarifying stone.

I keep a little, purple bag of gemstones at work. I bought them when I started my job here at the law office in the Spring. I really wanted my transition of going back to legal work to go smoothly. For my work environment I chose desert rose, jade, rose quartz, mookaite, citrine, lapis lazuli & selenite. I also bought a Himalayan salt candle burner which I may discuss in a later post.
Today I feel compelled to discuss Selenite. This stone is considered a "cousin" to moonstone (my favorite stone), as they are both stones associated with the moon.

The name Selenite comes from the Greek word "Selene" which means moon. The stone is very soft and scratches easily. I find it very soothing. I really love the pearly, translucent look. This stone is protective and aids with mental clarity for better decision making.  Selenite is very powerful and should be used with good intentions for healing purposes and seeking understanding of situations which are confusing. This stone is beneficial for mothers and women who are pregnant. Selenite raises your intuition, psychic and clairvoyant abilities. Selenite is used in meditation to reach a higher vibration, attracting guidance from the Spirit world. During meditation this stone should be used with a grounding stone such as black tourmaline or tiger's eye to keep one connected to the Earth realm.

Selenite is among my favorite stones & I mainly use it for the soothing effects and to aid my decision making. I highly recommend this stone for beginning crystal users to enhance your mental clarity and keep your emotions calm and in check.
