Cat's Bits & Pieces

Selenite a stone for relaxation, meditation and more


Hi everyone and welcome to Cat's Bits,

As I'm sure you've noticed C.T.T. does a lot with stones. We have jewelry made with them, crystals, wands and even small loose stones. For this installment of Cat's Bits I thought I would talk a little about selenite, the stone, a little lore and some of it's metaphysical properties.

Here in the store we currently carry Selenite Palm Stones, I also have small selenite worry stones that I will be adding very soon. These stones are white satin spar selenite and make excellent meditation stones. There are different kinds of selenite as you will see, however they all have the same metaphysical/ healing attributes.
 
Selenite: The Stone













Selenite is a variety of gypsum.  The name comes  the Greek "Selene" and from a Central European legend that says the crystals form during the increase of the moon. It makes a wonderful stone for moon magic and Goddess connection.  Naturally occurring in transparent crystals or  colored crystalline masses (roses). For you rock hounds out there MOH's hardness scale lists it at 1 1/2 - 2 which is pretty soft and can be found worldwide. Here in western Colorado you can find the Desert Rose variety as well as flat crystaline formations, which are quite fragile. At one time these flat transparent pieces were used as a protective covering for pictures of the Virgin Mary and were called "Marienglas meaning Mary Glass"
 
Selenite in Crystal Healing:


















The stone itself has a very fine and high vibration and is linked to the light body, keeping it anchored within the Earth's vibration. Our Selenite Palm Stones are great for meditation, the weight is nice and the smooth finish promotes relaxation. It can be used in opening the crown and higher crown chakras as well as calming and soothing  mind, body and spirit during meditation or any other spiritual work. It is also beneficial in past life work. It can help us pinpoint the issues that we are currently working on as well as the best ways to resolve them.

Selenite can also help in the following areas:

~angelic guidance
~promoting good business practices
~the removal of energy blocks from our etheric and physical bodies
~clearing other stones/crystals that are placed near it
 
If you are interested in purchasing one of the Selenite Palm Stones or checking out the other stones we have available they can be found here on our Stones & Crystals page or if you are interested in learning more about crystal properties for healing I recommend the following books:

Until next time!
Blessings,

Cat
