Selenite is a transparent to translucent crystalline variety of gypsum, composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate.

Selenite typically grows in long, striated crystals or large clear plates and is known for its soft, delicate structure.

Selenite is also often used to cleanse and align all chakras due to its purifying nature.
