Selenite

Selenite crystal takes its name from the Greek goddess Selene, the daughter of Hyperion and Thea, who is often depicted riding a horse or winged chariot with a lunar crescent as a crown upon her head symbolic of the crown chakra over which she has so much influence.

The Greeks not only believed she symbolised the moon but was the embodiment of the moon itself and thus selenite shares the healing energy and luminosity of lunar power. Selenite can be found in multiple varieties and colours and each one is believed to have subtle differences in its properties and uses.
