Selenite is a delicate, creamy white stone with a flaky texture, a crystalized form of the gypsum mineral. In jewelry design, Selenite looks beautiful with both silver and gold gemstones. We like pairing Selenite with other white gemstones, including Clear Quartz and Moonstone. Selenite also looks stunning with black gemstones like Onyx and Black Obsidian.

This stone is named after the Greek goddess Selene, goddess of moonlight, for its luminous white glow. Selenite has been found all over the world, but most is sourced from Mexico, Australia, Brazil, and Russia. Since Selenite has such a delicate texture, we recommend keeping it away from water, bright light, and intense heat.

Metaphysically, Selenite is highly regarded as one of the most powerful gemstones for positivity and balance. Selenite is often used to enhance or “charge” the energy of all other crystals.
