History and Uses

Selenite is a crystalline form of the mineral gypsum and is known for its unique physical and metaphysical properties. The word “selenite” is derived from the Greek word “selene,” which means moon, due to its moon-like glow when polished. The Greeks and Romans associated it with the moon goddess Selene and believed it could bring about mental clarity and enhance spiritual connection.

Selenite was highly regarded by the ancient Egyptians. They used it extensively in their art and architecture. The most famous example is the Great Pyramid of Giza, where selenite was used for the windows in the burial chambers. The Egyptians believed that selenite had protective and purifying properties and used it in their rituals and ceremonies.

Selenite was also used in medieval Europe for decorative purposes, such as creating ornamental objects, religious artifacts, and even windows in cathedrals. It was highly valued for its translucent and luminescent properties.
