Selenite Crystals and Gemstones

Selenite Crystals and Gemstones

What Makes Selenite Special?

Selenite is a unique and fascinating crystal because of its soft, glowing appearance and its ability to hold powerful energy. This crystal, a form of gypsum, has a translucent glow that can look almost magical, especially when light reflects off its surface. Many people are drawn to its calming energy, as it is believed to have strong cleansing properties. Selenite is often used in energy healing to clear negative vibrations and promote peace and mental clarity. Its soothing qualities make it a popular choice for creating a tranquil environment.

Why Selenite Looks Like the Moon

Selenite's name comes from the Greek word selene, meaning "moon," and it's easy to see why. The crystal's gentle, milky glow resembles the soft light of the moon. Like the moon, selenite is believed to bring calm and balance. Its glowing appearance is thought to symbolize intuition and spiritual growth, much like the moon's connection to these themes in various cultures.

Why Ancient Cultures Used Selenite

Ancient civilizations valued selenite for its spiritual properties. The Egyptians, for instance, used it in rituals to protect against negative energy and enhance meditation. They believed it connected them to higher realms and divine energies. Selenite was seen as a sacred stone, much like the moon itself, offering light, clarity, and protection. Its link to spiritual growth made it a prized material for both healing and ceremonial purposes.

Why People Keep Selenite in Their Homes or Sleep with It Under Their Pillow

Selenite is often kept in homes for its believed ability to cleanse and purify energy. Many people place it in their living spaces to help clear out negative energy and invite a sense of calm and balance. The crystal’s gentle, soft glow creates a peaceful ambiance, making it a great addition to any room. Its ability to improve the flow of positive energy is one of the main reasons people choose to keep it around.

In addition to being a beautiful decorative item, selenite is also used for its calming effects on sleep. People sleep with selenite under their pillows because it’s thought to promote relaxation and relieve stress. The crystal’s soothing energy is believed to help quiet the mind, making it easier to fall asleep and enjoy more restful nights. Selenite is also associated with the crown chakra, which is linked to spiritual clarity and higher consciousness. This connection may help with achieving deeper, more peaceful sleep and enhancing dreams.

Whether used for its spiritual benefits or simply as a calming presence, selenite is a popular choice for those seeking tranquility, emotional balance, and a more restful sleep environment.

The Allure and Significance of Selenite Necklaces

Selenite necklaces are not just beautiful accessories—they are valued for their calming and healing properties. The crystal’s delicate, glowing appearance gives each piece a serene, almost magical quality that makes it stand out. The gentle light that selenite emits is believed to help clear negative energy and promote inner peace, making these necklaces both stylish and spiritually beneficial.

Wearing a selenite necklace is thought to connect the wearer with its purifying energy, enhancing mental clarity and emotional balance. It’s especially popular among those who practice meditation or seek a deeper sense of spiritual awareness. The smooth, translucent surface of selenite, combined with its minimalist design, creates a timeless look that suits any outfit.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, selenite necklaces are believed to activate the crown chakra, encouraging clarity and spiritual growth. Whether worn for their beauty or their healing qualities, selenite necklaces make a meaningful and captivating addition to anyone's jewelry collection.

The Beauty and Purpose of a Selenite Sphere

A selenite sphere is a stunning, polished crystal that captures the natural beauty of selenite in a smooth, round form. Known for its soft, glowing light, the sphere is often used for its calming and healing properties. Selenite, with its reputation for clearing negative energy, is believed to promote peace, clarity, and emotional balance, making the sphere a powerful tool in spiritual practices.

The spherical shape is considered special because it radiates energy evenly in all directions, creating a balanced, harmonious environment. Many people use selenite spheres for meditation, placing them in their spaces to help clear blockages and enhance spiritual awareness. The gentle energy emitted is also thought to encourage mental clarity and emotional healing.

Aside from its spiritual benefits, a selenite sphere is a beautiful piece of decor, adding elegance and a soothing atmosphere to any room. Its soft glow and natural beauty make it a cherished item in many homes.

Why Selenite Spheres Are So Captivating and Powerful


A selenite sphere is a polished, rounded crystal that showcases selenite’s natural beauty. With its translucent glow, it’s not only a stunning decorative piece but also a tool believed to bring balance and tranquility. Selenite is known for its ability to clear negative energy and promote positive, calming vibrations, and the spherical shape enhances this by radiating energy evenly in every direction.

Many people use selenite spheres during meditation to create a peaceful, focused space. The gentle energy from the sphere is thought to help clear mental blocks, bring clarity, and support emotional healing.

In addition to its spiritual benefits, a selenite sphere is a beautiful object for home decor. Its smooth surface and soft glow add an elegant touch to any room, while also creating a serene atmosphere. Whether for its metaphysical properties or its visual appeal, a selenite sphere is a treasured piece in many homes.

What Makes a Selenite Lamp Unique and Special

A selenite lamp is special for its ability to combine natural beauty with powerful energy. Made from the crystal selenite, these lamps emit a soft, warm glow that brings a sense of calm and tranquility to any room. The translucent nature of selenite makes it look almost ethereal when lit, adding a touch of elegance to your home decor.

What truly sets a selenite lamp apart is its believed ability to clear negative energy and create a balanced environment. Many people use them to purify the air and energy in their living or working spaces. The gentle light is thought to promote relaxation, focus, and mental clarity, making it a favorite for bedrooms or meditation areas.

Not only do selenite lamps have a calming effect, but their natural beauty and unique design also make them a standout piece in any home, offering both aesthetic charm and spiritual benefits.

Chakra Chime Bars - Aura Clearing Sound Healing

Chakra Chime Bars - Aura Clearing Sound Healing

We have some beautiful new chime bars at Serenity Gifts, and we wanted to share them with you! These are simply lovely and will do wonders for your aura and chakra alignment.
If you don't know much about them, here's a little bit to help - Aura chime bars are primarily used in sound therapy to clear negative energy. A person's aura can be adversely affected if there is an imbalance in the energy flow, thus causing a build up of dense and negative energy. Striking the metal bar with the wooden beater produces a loud and resonant sound which can be very useful in sound healing sessions and meditative exercises. Use the chime bar for space clearing, sound healing, ceremonies, etc. A pure clean sound from the high grade aluminium bar suspended above a good quality wood base for a clear resonating tone is perfect for Feng Shui energy clearing and chakra balancing.
If you haven't already tried one, you're truly missing out. They are simply lovely and have a wonderful light, healing tone which makes you feel more at ease, more peaceful. They are also a great tool for meditation - simply strike the chime bar before and after your meditation routine and allow the delicate sound to wash over you bringing you to a clearer state of mind and oneness with yourself. Similar to Tingsha chimes, they resonate for quite a while and just by listening to the sacred tone can help to heal your aura and unbalanced state of mind.
Our chime bars are absolutely exceptional quality - the chime rings for quite a while, with a nice crisp serene sound, helping to heal and to aid your meditation practices. We offer Chakra Chime Bars, so they can be used to  heal any chakras that are out of alignment.
We offer individual chakra chime bars and a whole set of seven. More individual chime bars will be added to the web site over the coming months, so please check back regularly to see how many we currently have.
If there's anything you would like to ask about chime bars, please do get in touch and we'll be happy to help. Wishing you a lovely day, until next time.
Blessings and peace, Maria and The Serenity Gifts Team

New Buddha Statues!

New Buddha Statues!

BUY the Buddha Statues here: https://www.serenitygifts.co.uk/collections/buddha-collection

At Serenity Gifts we have a beautiful collection of inspiring images and statues depicting Buddha. They Buddha statues are amazing.... but we wanted more - so we've added even more choice for you, and we hope you like them too. We hope our gifts bring you closer to the embodiment of the sacred Buddha and all his wise and beautiful teachings.

The first new statue is a beautiful Buddha created from black poly resin with an antique gold finish, it makes a lovely statue for your meditation space, or sacred space. Approx 16cm tall. A wonderful reminder of the tranquillity, joy and happiness that the teachings of Buddha can bring to our hearts.

Another new statue, is the Earth Touching Thai Buddha - it's quite tall at 32cm in height, so a real statement piece for your sacred space. Inlaid with mirror mosaic it looks lovely when reflecting the tea light candles you may have lit nearby. The most common pose you will find in Thai temples is with the legs crossed, the left hand in the lap, and the right hand pointing to the ground with the palm facing inward toward the Buddha. This posture is known as Calling The Earth to Witness, and it is the definition of the moment of enlightenment for the Buddha. It is the story of how the Buddha, after six years, finally was on the verge of enlightenment. Unfortunately Mara, the Demon of Illusion, tried to dissuade the Buddha from the final last steps. The Buddha meditated all night to overcome the fears and temptations sent by Mara, and then called the Earth Goddess to witness that the Buddha achieved enlightenment in order to share with the rest of the world. Witnessing that, the Earth Goddess wrung her hair, releasing flood waters that swept away the Demon Mara and all the temptresses he had released.

We're hoping to have a Japanese Buddha statue for you in a couple of weeks, so watch this space! Here are a few pictures of the Buddha statues, and don't forget, if you can't find what you're looking for on our web site please don't hesitate to ask and we'll try our best to help.

Until next time, blessings and love, The Serenity Gifts Team xx
