How can I use selenite to clear my energy?
Answer
Selenite is a soft gypsum — hardness about 2, softer than a fingernail — so the "clearing" side of it is mostly two separate things, and it's worth keeping them apart.
The physical care part (this matters most):
- Never rinse or soak it in water. Gypsum dissolves and will go cloudy, soft, and pitted.
- Same for salt water and any liquid "cleansing" — that's the fastest way to ruin a piece.
- Store it dry, away from humidity, and away from other stones that could scratch it.
- Prolonged direct sun can fade and weaken it; short moonlight or indirect light is the traditional preference.
- Clean it with a dry cloth, or a barely damp one and dry immediately.
The symbolic part: in crystal practice selenite is used as a "reset" — commonly run over the body or a room while you breathe out, or simply kept in a doorway or near a window as a marker for a fresh start. Traditionally charged under moonlight or smoke, not water.
Honest limit: nothing physical is being removed. There's no evidence a stone clears anything — what it does reliably is mark a ritual, and rituals do work on people. If you're doing this to feel bad about yourself, that's a different conversation and I'd rather help with it properly.
