Selenite is a variety of gypsum, a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). The name “selenite” comes from the Greek word “selenites”, meaning “moonstone” or “moon rock,” because of its soft white, translucent appearance. Selenite can also come in orange due to the presence of iron oxide.
 
Selenite spheres are formed by taking a rough piece of selenite and shaping it into a smooth, round ball through a process of polishing. These spheres typically range in size from 10-15mm and are clear or orange in color.
 
They are often used in crystal healing, meditation, and energy work, as they are believed to have powerful healing and purifying properties. Selenite is said to have a high vibration energy that can help to clear and balance the aura, and to bring clarity of mind and a sense of peace. It is also believed to be a powerful tool for spiritual development and to help with connecting to higher realms. In addition to its spiritual properties, selenite is also said to have physical healing properties. It is believed to be helpful for issues related to the bones and teeth, and is said to be beneficial for those who suffer from anxiety and depression.
 
Polished selenite spheres can be used in a variety of ways, including as decorative items, in meditation and energy healing practices, and in crystal grids. They make a beautiful addition to any home or office and are highly sought after by crystal enthusiasts.
