How to Use It
The flat top is the feature. Most people buy a selenite cube and then discover it is the most useful surface on the altar.
- Give it a permanent spot — selenite is not a stone you shuffle around.
- Rest smaller stones, rings or a bracelet on the top face overnight. This is the traditional reason people keep selenite in the first place.
- For meditation, set it at eye level with a candle behind and to one side so the grain lights up.
- Handle it with dry hands. Selenite is soft and water-soluble — it does not like moisture at all.
- Dust with a dry soft brush only. Never rinse it, never soak it.

✨ Temple Tip
Put it where the last light of the day reaches. Selenite is at its best in low, warm, angled light — under bright overhead lighting it just looks like a white block, but at dusk the whole grain lifts.
