White selenite, also called fibrous gypsum, got its name from the Swedish chemist and mineralogist Johan Gottschalk Wallerius (1709-1785). The word is derived from the Greek moon goddess Selene. Wallerius was probably inspired to use the name by the mineral's reflections, which are reminiscent of moonlight.
In modern gemstone therapy, selenite is important as a healing stone for protection and shielding. With its help, we can succeed in perceiving things around us more consciously and break up long-established patterns of behavior. Thus, control over the organization of one's own life can be regained and strengthened.
Selenite is a popular decorative stone due to its fascinating shimmer and also a popular object for meditation, as it prevents distraction and promotes inner collection. The raw material for the hearts and Tumbled Stones as well as the tea lights and lamps comes from Morocco.
