Gold Plated Selenite Pendant (Large)

Selenite is a soft, translucent variety of gypsum traditionally associated with cleansing, clarity, and calm. This large pendant bars a natural piece of milky-white selenite in gold-plated edging, letting the stone's soft inner glow show through a warm metal frame that's ready to hang on a chain.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Selenite takes its name from Selene, the Greek moon goddess, in reference to its pale, glowing appearance. In crystal tradition it's associated with cleansing and clarity, often linked to the Crown chakra. Worn as a pendant, it becomes a wearable version of a stone more commonly kept in slab or wand form, a quieter, everyday way to keep its traditional meaning close. It fits alongside pieces gathered for balance and wellness or the shop's wider jewelry collection.

How to wear it

This pendant comes without a chain, so you can pair it with whatever length and style suits you. Because selenite is soft and water-sensitive, treat it as a piece to put on for the day rather than to wear continuously through showers, workouts, or swimming. Each pendant uses a natural selenite bar, so tone and translucency vary slightly from piece to piece.

Care & cleansing

Selenite is water-soluble, so this pendant should never get wet — avoid wearing it in the shower, pool, or while washing your hands, since water exposure can dull, pit, or dissolve the stone over time. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove any residue, and store it in a pouch or dish away from humidity rather than a bathroom shelf. Handle it gently, since selenite is quite soft (Mohs 2) and can scratch or chip if knocked against harder surfaces.
