Crystal System...
Selenite is in the Monclinic crystal system and is in the family of sulfates. This clear to white form of Gypsum has a pearly, luster finish. It can be easily scratched and will dissolve if left in water.
Generally it is found in the cavities of limestone deposits. Massive beds of it are found in Utah and India, although the clearest varieties come from a large Sicilian sulfur mine in Italy.
Application...
Like most gemstones, it is most beneficial when worn or laid upon the body. This one lends itself well to being used as a hand comforter during meditation, or just placed around your personal environment. I also keep a large log shaped piece of this one under my treatment table to enhance client sessions.
Spiritually...
Selenite has been used to bring about awareness of unconscious assumptions and to promote the reconnection between the conscious self and the mystic self that lives in the super-consciousness.
