Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, Selenite is associated with cleansing and clearing energy, and many people rest other stones on a selenite surface to refresh them between uses. The engraved OM symbol adds a calm, sacred touch to an altar, shelf, or nightstand.
How to use a charging plate
Simply set your tumbled stones, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry directly on top of the plate and let them rest there for a few hours or overnight. Many people do this after a busy day, or any time a piece "feels" like it needs a refresh. The plate itself can also just be displayed on its own as part of your home decor.
Care & cleansing
Selenite is soft (Mohs 2) and water-soluble, so never rinse, soak, or clean it with water — even light moisture can cause pitting or dissolve the surface over time. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth only, and keep it away from humid spots like bathrooms.
