Selenite lamps are a wonderful addition to your home. These translucent crystals aren’t just a beautiful statement piece - they can also help to clear negative energy, improve mental clarity and recharge the other crystals in your kit.
Keep reading as we share everything you need to know about selenite lamps below, including our favourite ways to use and maintain them!
What is a selenite lamp?
Selenite lamps are produced from an opaque form of gypsum crystal and have a pale white, clear or shimmery appearance. A selenite lamp is essentially a large piece of selenite that has been hollowed out to create a light source. Because of their transparent nature, light passes through selenite easily to create a soft, warm glow.
Selenite lamps come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with the most common design being a selenite tower.
What are the benefits of selenite lamps?
There are several great reasons to consider introducing a selenite lamp into your home!
1. Clearing negative energy
Have you ever walked into a space and instantly felt stressed, tense or on edge? This can often be due to an accumulation of negative energy or emotions.
Selenite is renowned for its cleansing and purifying properties. For this reason, selenite lamps are often placed in the home to clear negative energy sources and create a more positive, uplifting environment.
If you’ve been dealing with stressful experiences or negative people, this energy can become stuck in our environment – and often, we absorb it ourselves. Selenite lamps can help you clear and reset this energy, so you can start fresh.
2. Improving mental clarity
Selenite lamps are also thought to improve focus and mental clarity, and can help guide us in making the right decisions. For this reason, selenite lamps are ideal for meditation practices as they instill a feeling of deep peace, calm and direction. If you’ve been struggling with indecisiveness, a selenite lamp could help to remove stagnant energy, clear your mind and boost your concentration.
3. Cleanse and recharge your crystals
Unlike other crystals, selenite is constantly cleansing and recharging itself. This means your selenite lamp can be used to cleanse and recharge your other crystals, too! Simply place your crystals into contact with your selenite lamp, and leave them to charge for a minimum of 6 hours.
Where to put your selenite lamp
Due to its cleansing and healing properties, we’d suggest placing your selenite lamp in the room where you spend the most time in order to reap its benefits. They look stunning as bedside lamps, or as feature pieces in your kitchen, living room or entryway. You may even want to purchase multiple selenite lamps so you can place them throughout your entire home!
Just make sure your selenite lamp is placed on a flat, even surface, out of reach of pets and young children.
How to maintain your selenite lamp
Selenite is a soft mineral, so it’s important that you don’t soak your selenite lamp in water or it will slowly dissolve. To remove dust, simply use a fine cloth or brush to gently buff the surface of the crystal. If your selenite lamp gets dirty or scratched, you can use a damp cloth to clean it.
