Selenite Wand
A long polished selenite wand — smooth, cylindrical, satin-white — with the faint internal striations that run perpendicular to the wand's length. Selenite is not quartz; it is crystalline gypsum, a soft mineral (Mohs 2) that cleaves in perfect flat planes and catches light along its natural fibre-like structure.
Selenite has a natural visual warmth — it glows rather than sparkles, more candlelight than mirror. Under a strong light source, the internal structure becomes visible: layers of compressed fibres, each refracting light slightly differently.
In crystal work, selenite is the standard tool for cleansing other crystals — place any stone on a selenite slab or beside a selenite wand overnight to reset it. It is also used for aura work and space clearing.
