{"product_id":"selenite-stick-3","title":"Selenite Stick 3 in. — The Crystal That Cleanses Itself","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe one stone in the collection that cleanses everything else and asks for nothing back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 3-inch selenite stick, pearly white with the fine hair-like crystal structure the mineral is known for. Selenite grows in long rectangular formations — logs — and takes its name from the Ancient Greek word for Moon. Some of the largest crystals ever found are selenite: the Naica Mine in Mexico produced specimens so large that geologists needed protective suits to study them in 136°F heat. The mine was closed in 2015 and flooded, and the selenite was left to keep growing. In metaphysical practice selenite is a crown-and-above stone of cleansing, chakra alignment, and divine connection — and it is the one crystal that is said never to need cleansing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne (1) hand-selected selenite stick\u003c\/strong\u003e, approximately 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePearly white\u003c\/strong\u003e with fine hair-like crystal striations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNamed for the Greek word for Moon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown chakra and above\u003c\/strong\u003e in metaphysical practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever needs cleansing\u003c\/strong\u003e — and must never be cleaned with water or salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLay it beside the crystals you already work with\u003c\/strong\u003e and leave it there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep one in the meditation space\u003c\/strong\u003e; that is where most people notice it first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRest it on the body\u003c\/strong\u003e during energy work, along the midline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not wash it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not with water, not with salt.
