How to use it
Stand it at the centre or a corner of your altar and let it mark the space. Selenite towers are traditionally used as the anchor point of a crystal grid, with smaller stones arranged around them.
Many people rest other stones beside a selenite piece overnight as part of their crystal-care routine.
Keep it dry. Selenite is a soft mineral and water will dull and eventually dissolve the polish — never rinse it or leave it outdoors.

✨ Temple Tip
Never cleanse selenite with water. It is gypsum — soft enough to scratch with a fingernail and slowly soluble. Dry cloth, dry shelf, and it will stay bright for years.

Small, bright, and quietly in charge of the corner it sits in. #TempleOfDesire
