Selenite is a translucent to transparent, soft variety of gypsum (CaSO4⋅2H2O𝐶𝑎𝑆𝑂4⋅2𝐻2𝑂) known for its radiant, pearly luster and high-vibrational energy. It is primarily used to clear negative energy, enhance mental clarity, and charge other crystals, functioning as a powerful self-cleansing, purifying stone.
