The shape and touch of the palm stone
This selenite palm stone is an oval, smoothly polished piece that fits exactly in your palm. The surface has a satin sheen, a cool touch, and slowly responds to the warmth of the hand. Many people love it because, holding it, you feel a piece of nature. It is carved in Morocco, where this soft white mineral has been mined for decades.
The mineral called the stone of moonlight
Old tradition called selenite "the stone of moonlight" because its whiteness and soft glow recall the full moon. Its name is of Greek origin — Selene was the name of the moon goddess in antiquity. You can even place it on the bedside table to pick up in the quiet moments of the evening and feel the calming sensation of the cool surface.
How to use it in everyday life
Many people carry the palm stone in a pocket or keep it on the corner of the desk. In a more stressful moment they pick it up, hold it, and the cool smooth surface of the crystal gives a small visual and tactile pause. Others hold it in the palm during meditation, or place it in the centre of a selenite bowl as a decorative piece. You can freely choose your own way.
Many pieces, many fine differences
Every selenite palm stone is unique — the satin stripes, the depth of whiteness and the fine differences in shape vary in every piece. If you order one, consider that every piece of natural material looks slightly different, and that is exactly what makes your piece unique.
Take care of it and it will last beautifully
Selenite is a soft mineral, hardness 2 on the Mohs scale. It should NOT come into contact with water — water damages the satin surface over time. You can wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not keep it in damp rooms, and be careful with dropping — though it sits well in the palm, it can break easily when it falls. With this care it can be a companion in your everyday life for many years.
