✨ Temple Tip — the stone that ends the cleansing debate
Every crystal owner eventually gets stuck on how to cleanse their collection — moonlight, salt, sound, smoke, all with competing rules. A selenite stick laid across the bowl sidesteps the argument entirely. It is the one piece that is said to work continuously without ever needing attention, which is also why it is usually the first stone people buy twice.
Questions we get asked
Does selenite need cleansing?
No — it is the classic example of a crystal that does not. Please do not try to clean it, especially not with water or salt.
Why can it not get wet?
Its gypsum mineral base is water-soluble. Water will visibly damage the surface.
Mine is shedding tiny fibers. Is that a fault?
No. Selenite's structure is thousands of fine hair-like crystals grown together, so a little shedding is normal.
Does it stop working when it looks dull?
No. It picks up oils from hands and ash from ceremony and keeps working regardless.
How big is it?
Approximately 3 inches. Each piece is natural and varies slightly.
Care & safety: A ritual and decorative object. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease — please consult a healthcare professional for medical advice. Selenite is a gypsum mineral and is water-soluble: never wash it, never leave it outdoors, and keep it out of humid bathrooms. It is soft and may shed fine fibers with handling. Keep away from small children and pets. Natural stone: each piece varies. You will receive one (1) hand-selected piece. Ships within 3 business days.
Named for the moon, and just as low-maintenance. #TempleOfDesire
