Selenite Heart

Overview
The Selenite Heart is a beautifully polished crystal carved into the timeless shape of a heart—combining the serene glow of natural Selenite with the universal symbolism of love, peace, emotional healing, and compassion.

Heart stones are especially cherished in crystal practices for emotional and heart-centered work. Holding a heart stone during stressful or emotionally overwhelming moments can create a calming tactile experience while encouraging comfort, reassurance, and emotional balance. They are often used to support self-love, emotional healing, and the release of emotional heaviness, helping cultivate a more peaceful and open mindset.

With its soft pearly sheen and tranquil presence, Selenite is widely associated with clarity, cleansing, calmness, and gentle supportive energy, making this heart carving especially soothing for meditation and relaxation practices.

Geological Origin & Composition

Selenite is a transparent to translucent crystalline variety of gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate) formed through the evaporation of mineral-rich water over long geological periods.

Its signature silky glow and fibrous internal structure create the soft luminous effect that makes Selenite instantly recognisable. High-quality Selenite is valued for its smooth satin-like sheen, gentle translucency, and calming white appearance.

Major sources include Morocco, Mexico, and parts of the United States.
