Selenite Square Plate

Selenite looks like moonlight got compressed into a flat, satiny plate, the kind of white that seems to hold a little light of its own even in a dim room. It's the piece people set other crystals on overnight, a small clearing station on a nightstand or altar shelf, and a good one to rest your hands flat on when your thoughts feel tangled and won't settle into a line. Use it under a tumble collection to freshen the whole group at once, or keep it on a desk where the day's clutter tends to pile up fastest. Selenite is a form of gypsum, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, which is part of why it holds that silky, glowing look rather than a hard shine. This plate is cut into a clean square with the natural striations still visible along its length. It dissolves in water, so keep it dry and out of a damp bathroom shelf. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. A flat surface for resetting whatever's piled up.
