Where it’s found

Selenite is a transparent or translucent crystalline form of gypsum. This cluster of clear blades on a gypsum base was documented in Roden, Zaragoza, Spain.

What to look for. Selenite can grow as clear plates or blades. Many silky white wands sold as ‘selenite’ are satin spar, a fibrous form of gypsum.

Common spellwork uses

Selenite often appears in cleansing and reset-themed work. It can symbolize a fresh start or mark the moment you’re ready to put one working away and turn your attention to the next.

These are symbolic associations in modern crystal practice.
