Selenite is the stone almost everyone in the shop picks up first. It's white, satin-smooth, and so light it surprises people when they lift it.
Most people use it as a clearing stone. Set it on top of a stack of other crystals overnight. Run it lightly through the air around your shoulders after a hard day at work. Keep one by the door so the first thing you touch when you walk in is something soft.
It's also the stone to hand to someone who says they don't really know where to start with crystals. Selenite doesn't ask for a chakra correspondence or a specific intention. It's just the quiet one that sits there and is steady.
You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you.
