View a magnificent, luminous moon through a shimmering Selenite crystal while admiring the lovely Moon Goddess Selene, who is circling the sky in a gleaming chariot while wearing a crescent-shaped crown and silver wings, guiding and guarding those who are in the dark. While several goddesses were named in ancient cultures to represent the moon, the Greeks took Selene to be the moon itself. She embodies serenity, blessing, love, and light, just like her crystal does. The clarity and ethereal luminosity that selenite crystals offer are highly regarded. It is thought to contain the liquid light of spirit that lives...
