History and origin of selenite

White selenite is a fascinating stone that takes its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. It has been valued and used for centuries. In ancient times, selenite was considered a "moonstone" and was often used in religious ceremonies. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that this stone could capture and reflect the light of the moon. Selenite is mainly found in countries such as the USA, Morocco and Mexico, where it is mined in desert regions.

Formation and natural properties

Selenite is a crystalline form of the mineral gypsum, which forms through evaporation in salty lakes and estuaries. It is formed by the deposition of calcium sulphate in water-rich environments. Selenite is known for its transparency and pearly sheen. Due to its relatively low hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale, selenite is sensitive to scratches and should therefore be handled with care. The stone is easily cleavable and often shows a fibrous structure, which gives it a unique appearance.

Science and composition

White selenite consists of hydrogenated calcium sulphate (CaSO₄ - 2H₂O). Its clear to white color and translucent character are due to its crystalline structure, which refracts light in a fascinating way. Selenite is classified as a gypsum mineral and is one of the most common evaporites on earth. Despite its low hardness, it is characterized by a natural ability to reflect light and produce a certain luminosity, which makes it particularly popular for decorative applications and jewelry.

Spiritual meanings and benefits

In esotericism, white selenite is said to have a strong energetic effect. Many believe that it promotes clarity and calm and helps to dispel negative energies. Selenite is often referred to as the "stone of light" and is said to support meditation and strengthen the connection to the spiritual world. It is often used in healing stone sessions and is considered particularly helpful in creating a pure and positive energy. However, there is no scientifically proven evidence for these effects. Nevertheless, selenite remains a popular stone in spiritual practice due to its aesthetic and symbolic properties.

Care and maintenance

Careful care is important to preserve the beauty of white selenite. The ring should not come into contact with water or chemicals, as selenite is water-soluble and can dissolve or be damaged as a result. It is recommended to wipe the ring with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Store the ring in a safe place, away from hard objects that could scratch the stone. Proper care will keep the ring shiny and beautiful for a long time.
