Not only is selenite believed to carry potent energy that can provide protection and improve well-being, it’s also said to cleanse unwanted energies from your surroundings.

However, there is evidence that selenium — which is selenite’s trace element form — has multiple health benefits. A trace element is a chemical element found in a very small amount in living things.

Here are a some of the main purported healing benefits of a selenite crystal:

• promotes peace and calm
• provides clarity
• clears blocked energy
• elevates the spirit
• helps you access your intuition
• is an effective space cleanser
• vibrates at a very high frequency
• promotes connection and camaraderie
• enhances powers of manifestation
