Healing properties & Chakras

Selenite is the stone of light and cleansing. It helps to remove negativity from your crown chakra, which can help to create a sense of peace and well-being. The crown chakra is located at the top of your head, and it controls how you think about yourself, your place in this world, and your relationship with others. When this chakra is out-of-balance or blocked, people often feel disconnected from themselves or other people around them.

Selenite also works well for those who are easily overwhelmed by their thoughts or emotions. You can use this gem as a tool for meditation in order to find clarity in any situation.
