Many people believe selenite is a powerful healer with multiple benefits, though there’s no scientific evidence to support this.

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

Promotes peace and calm

“Selenite is a crystal that vibrates at a very fine vibration level,” says crystal healer Samantha Jayne. Because of this high frequency, “it’s one of the most powerful crystals in the universe.”

Jayne says that selenite carries an energy of peace and calm. This makes it an ideal crystal for any situation where peace needs to be restored.

Clears blocked energy

Crystal healer Charlotte Grace agrees.

“Selenite vibrates at a super-high frequency, meaning it’s a very powerful healer,” she says.

Grace also notes that selenite is effective at clearing heavy, blocked energy. This allows energy to flow at a high vibration, she says, elevating the spirit.

Grace recommends using selenite to cleanse:

• your energy
• your home
• your belongings
• other crystals
