Selenite Wand Uses
We love Selenite wands as they are shaped perfectly for directing energy - just like a conductor leading an orchestra, or a white witch casting a spell. There are lots of ways you can use your Selenite wand to create a shift but here are a few of our faves.
Clearing Blocks - Selenite is a dab hand at removing energy and shifting vibes around. If you have been feeling like an area or certain chakra is blocked, then you use the Selenite wand to get things flowing again. Use the point away from the body so that the negative energy or blockage can flow out.
Aura Cleansing - We all get full to the brim sometimes when it comes to anxious thoughts, negative patterns, and critical self-talk. Whether it’s our own energy or someone else's imprint, at times it helps to have an eraser to rub out the not so rad stuff. Using your Selenite wand you can keep it inches from the body and move it slowly up and down inviting it to soak up and remove all the unwanted energy that has collected throughout the day. You can do this everyday.
Fine Tuned Focus - if you find yourself getting spacy throughout the day or if you are suffering from brain fog, keep a Selenite wand at your desk or in your studio space to encourage the mind to stay sharp and en pointe.
Cleanse the Space - Selenite wands are great for refreshing spaces too. Place it on the windowsill or entrance points to keep the bad vibes out. You can also use your Selenite wand in a similar manner to smudging in order to shift any stagnant energy.
Cleanse Crystals - If you have crystal jewelry, you can keep them charged or clear by placing them on your Selenite wand.
Reset - Your Selenite wand can also be an awesome reset button. When you step inside after a tough day out or when you are feeling sluggish and slumped, simply wave the wand over your body or hold it during a five-minute meditation and let that excess weight shift and leave you featherlight once more.
Better Sleep - Place your Selenite wand under your pillow or beside the bed and let it lull you into sweet rest and relaxation.
Massages - A Selenite wand is a wonder when it comes to massaging areas where you feel tense and tight. It can also be used to keep the chakras balanced.
How to Cleanse your Selenite
- Cleanse with a soft toothbrush
- Charge with other crystals
Selenite is a truly delicate stone – so much so that even a fingernail can cause the stone to scratch. Because of it's soft nature, you need to be super careful when cleansing it. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t welcome Selenite into your crystal collection, just remember that it serves as a lesson to be light of touch and gentle (good practice for when dealing with our own hearts). It is important to keep your crystals beautifully cleansed as this can ensure that they are working at the fullest of their capacity. Sometimes, our energy collecting crystals can get clogged with energy and keeping them flushed can make sure that they are able to send out healing vibes at full power rather than at a trickle.
The best way to cleanse Selenite is by taking a soft-bristled toothbrush and some warm water and working carefully along the surface of the stone. If you need to use a little extra power when cleaning, pick a natural soap and steer clear of wiry brushes and harsher chemicals as you can be sure that your Selenite won’t enjoy that. If you want to play it truly safe, you can skip the waterworks on your Selenite and instead opt to cleanse it via sage smudging or some other herbal remedy.
Selenite is a strong and powerful stone with high vibrations but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t need a little extra charging sometimes too. Moonlight works wonders at charging Selenite so feel free to leave it in the light of the full moon from time to time. Another way to quickly charge Selenite if you don’t want to wait for the lunar cycle is to light a white candle.
Selenite can also be used to charge up your other crystals as it has so much energy to give. You can put your other crystals and precious stones in close proximity to your Selenite and it will get to work humming its healing vibrations their way.

Is Selenite expensive?
Selenite is a super special and highly spiritual stone. As with all crystals, the cost will vary depending on the quality, size, and cut of the gemstone. While Selenite isn’t the rarest of gemstones it is still considered to be hard to find stones of the highest quality. You can expect to pay anything between $5 and $50 for smaller pieces depending on the quality.
How to take care of Selenite?
As Selenite is a very soft gemstone it does take a little care and consideration to keep it safe and sound. You should be careful not to scratch or knock the stone too hard as it is only a 2 on the Mohs hardness scale and can even be scratched by a fingernail. You should also keep it away from water and direct sunlight. You can cleanse and charge your Selenite by leaving it in the light of the moon, smudging it, or using sound vibrations.
