Selenite is an alternate name for the mineral Gypsum. 

The word Selenite comes from the Greek “selenites”, meaning “moon stone” or “moon rock”, with the root word “Selene” meaning “Moon”, and for good reason - the mineral Selenite is the near transparent and colourless crystal form of Gypsum that exudes a pearly lustre which glows and can very much resemble the moon. 

Selene is also the name of the Greek Goddess of the Moon (a.k.a. Artemis or Diana).

Myth & Lore: 

Said to be the "Stone of Mental Clarity," Selenite is thought to be a bringer of light. 

Associated with the Greek Goddess Selene, Selenite contains feminine energy and is often used to connect and commune with the Divine, especially goddess energy.  Some use it for angelic or spirit guide connection, or aid in interacting with the Ancients.  Selenite crystals, or polished wands of Selenite, are often used as magic wands or as aids to help facilitate transporting one's intentions to the Higher Self and/or the Universe. 

Often referred to as "scanners," Selenite is said to have the ability to scan the body for disease or malfunction, pinpointing what areas may need attention.  The stone itself is also thought to have the ability to clear etheric blockages so one can gain knowledge on how to move forward toward a cure.  It is thought to have been a healing tool in Atlantis.  Selenite can be used for scrying into both the past, present and future.  Past life regressions are assisted with the use of these crystals.  They are also said to be good for dream recall. 

It is long thought that Selenite helps in procuring long-lasting relationships, ensuring fidelity and furthering commitments.  It can help reconcile differences by going to the root of any issue. 

It is believed that Selenite is one of two minerals (the other being Apophyllite) that are strong enough to clear negative energies from Quartz.  It's also believed that it has the ability to help program (charge), or reprogram (recharge), a Quartz crystal.  It is good for charging all one's magickal tools.  To cleanse and recharge your Selenite, place it under the light of the Moon.
