How to clean selenite?
Selenite is delicate and it helps to handle it with care. Keeping it clean in a simple way can help it stay looking clear. Here is a guide on how to look after your selenite crystal.
It can help to just slow down a bit when you handle selenite. It is softer than it looks. A shelf or a quiet corner works well. This helps avoid small marks or chips that can happen without notice.
It can be helpful to check on it now and then. Nothing too detailed. Just a quick look. If it looks a bit dull and you can wipe it gently. If it still looks clear and you can leave it. There is no need to do more than that.
It keeps everything simple. These small habits become natural. You stop thinking about it and just do it without effort.
It just becomes part of your space after a while. Something you are used to having around. It stays clear with a bit of care and keeps its soft glow without needing much attention.

Do not leave any liquid on the surface.

Banishing Trapped Dirt
Dust can sometimes settle into small areas.
An air spray can help remove this.

Dry it straight after to avoid damage.
Warding off the Yellow Hue
Too much sunlight can change the colour slightly.
If this happens a gentle polish with a dry cloth can help.
Safe and secure storage
Choose a place where it will not be knocked or moved too often.
A quiet spot helps keep it in good condition.
A soft cloth bag can help protect it when not in use.
Dissolving Trapped Minerals
Some pieces may have small marks from natural minerals.
Be gentle and avoid soaking it.
