Properties
Naica Selenite
Among the rarest and most high-intensity, high-quality, and high-frequency Selenite in the world. This Naica Selenite raises vibrations of the space and attunes individuals to the greater good of all beings, and to the consciousness of higher self. Known as the happiness stone, it’s white rays will surround you and all who are with you, to envelop the space in a clear, joyful energy. These bbs would be great to open a ritual circle and create a sacred space. It’s got a very gentle and peaceful energy, but it’s strong and able to cleanse crystals near it. Negative energy cannot persist where this beautiful Selenite is present.
Sourcing
These are sourced from my trusted vendor who imports these specimens into the US from Mexico. They source directly from folks who recovered these from the Naica Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Among the rarest and most high-intensity, high-quality, and high-frequency Selenite in the world. The Naica Mine is located in Chihuahua, Mexico and is a lead, zinc, and silver mine that happens to also contain enormous Selenite crystals (google images: Cave of Crystals).
The mine has been indefinitely closed since 2015 due to uncontrollable flooding. The conditions are dangerous, with internal temperatures reaching 136F and 99% humidity - so to recover stones, people would have to don a specialized suit with an oxygen supply.
The Cave of Crystals is roughly 300m below the surface, beneath limestone host rock. This chamber contains some of the largest natural Selenite crystals ever found. These bbs are EXTREMELY RARE and it’s unknown if/when the mine will be reopened to recover more.
Mineralogy
Selenite is a specific variety of the mineral gypsum.

AVOID WATER & SELF CARE PRODUCTS
Avoid exposure to water (especially saltwater and chlorine), lotions, sprays, soap, etc because they can damage the elastic over time - and this can lead to snapping. Even the oils and sweat on our skin can wear out the elastic eventually.
Remove your bracelet when bathing, swimming, doing the dishes, etc. These activities can also dull the crystals.
STORAGE + CLEANING
Every bracelet comes with an organic cotton pouch for safe storage when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause crystals to fade over time. Keep your bracelet out of reach of children and pets, as they can easily snap the elastic.
Use a soft cloth (like microfiber) to wipe off oils, dust, or dirt. Avoid soap or harsh chemicals, and just use a damp cloth if needed. Allow your crystal bracelet to dry before wearing it again.
REMOVE BEFORE ROUGH ACTIVITIES
Avoid getting your bracelet caught on things by removing it before doing activities like playing with kids or dogs, yard work, exercise, etc. You can also wear them on your non-dominant hand to reduce chances of getting caught and snapping.
GENTLE HANDLING
The elastic can snap if handled roughly. Gently roll your bracelet over your hand when putting it on or taking it off, and avoid pulling or stretching too hard.
