Selenite heart

A selenite heart is a piece of selenite, a mineral best known for its bright, soothing appearance, often cut into the shape of a heart. Selenite itself is a variety of gypsum and has a glassy, nacreous sheen that reflects light in a soft way. It can be found in a variety of shapes and colors, but selenite is most often recognized by its white, semi-transparent hue.
 How a Selenite Heart Works
 Selenite is often valued in the gemstone and crystal world for its supposed energetic properties. Here are some of the most commonly attributed effects:
 1. Cleansing and purification: Selenite is considered a “cleansing” stone. It is said to energetically cleanse not only spaces, but other crystals as well. It is said to absorb negative energy and replace it with a refreshing, light energy.
 2. Calmness and clarity: It is often used in meditation to promote a sense of calmness and clarity. It is said to help one find inner peace and release mental tension, which contributes to a deeper meditative state.
 3. Connection and Intuition: Selenite is said to enhance intuition and open the crown chakra, which aids in spiritual connection and insights. This makes it a popular stone for those who want to focus on self-development or spiritual growth.
 4. Harmony and Balance: Due to its calming properties, selenite is often used to bring harmony and balance to relationships and environments. A selenite heart is therefore seen as a symbolic gift for loved ones, as it helps to amplify loving energy.
 Applications
 A selenite heart can be used in different ways:
 • In meditation: Hold the selenite heart in your hand during meditation to promote peace and clarity.
 • In your home: Place it in a place where you often relax, such as your bedroom, to energetically purify the space.
 • At work: Place it on your desk to reduce stress and promote clarity while working.
 • As a gift: Because of the heart shape it is a beautiful symbol of love, support and care.
 Please note: Selenite is a soft and fragile mineral, meaning it can be easily scratched and is water soluble.
