Selenite and the Seven Chakras
Selenite takes its name from Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, and it earns that association. Chemically it’s calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4-2H2O), a form of gypsum that grows in long fibrous striations, often colorless or pale white. That striated structure gives it a natural luminosity that makes it one of the more striking raw minerals you can wear. It ranks 2 on the Mohs hardness scale, softer than a fingernail, which is exactly why I recommend rough selenite for energy work over polished versions. The raw surface holds texture, character, and light in a way that tumbled pieces don’t.
The seven chakra system is rooted in tantric and yogic traditions that developed in India over several thousand years, and the association of specific stones with specific energy centers became a widespread modern practice through both traditional Ayurvedic frameworks and contemporary crystal healing culture. This pendant takes a direct approach to that idea. Seven small colored chips, corresponding to the classic root-to-crown sequence (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) are set along the front of the raw selenite piece. You’re getting the whole map in a single wearable form. Pair it with work from my chakra and reiki collection if you want to build out a fuller practice.
I stock this pendant because raw selenite pieces vary in character and this format, with the chips woven and wrapped like stained glass, which holds together well in normal daily wear. The silver-toned bail is functional and unobtrusive. It’s a grounded piece, not a flashy one.

How to Use Your Selenite 7 Chakra Pendant
Three practical steps for using your selenite chakra pendant.
- Set Your Intention
Hold the pendant in both hands before wearing it. Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and name the chakra or quality you want to work with today. Selenite responds well to quiet, focused intention setting.
- Wear It on Bare Skin
Clip the pendant to a cord or chain and wear it so the selenite rests near your sternum. The colored chips run root to crown, so you carry the full seven-chakra spectrum against your skin throughout the day.
- Cleanse Without Water
Selenite is gypsum and dissolves with prolonged water exposure, so skip rinsing. Instead, set the pendant on a dry selenite slab overnight, or pass it through incense smoke for a few seconds to clear accumulated energy.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock these pendants through a supplier whose selenite pieces have been consistent in quality across multiple orders. The thing I check for with selenite is layering integrity, specifically whether the fibrous layers are tight or beginning to separate at the edges, because loose layers chip off quickly and make for a disappointing pendant. The pieces I carry hold together well. The colored chips are well set, and the bail attachment is solid under normal wear.
One practical note: selenite is fragile. It will scratch against metal, chip against harder stones, and dull if it gets wet. If you’re wearing it daily, keep it on its own cord rather than mixing it in a jewelry pile. That’s not a complaint about this piece specifically, it’s just the nature of gypsum. Knowing that going in means you’ll get a lot more out of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Selenite is gypsum, a calcium sulfate mineral, not a quartz-family crystal. It forms in fibrous, translucent masses and ranks 2 on the Mohs scale, so it scratches and chips easily. Handle yours with care and store it separate from harder stones.
No. Selenite is water-soluble gypsum and will dull, pit, or crumble if soaked or rinsed. Wipe it gently with a dry cloth only. For energetic cleansing, use smoke, sound, or place it on a dry selenite charging plate overnight.
The chips are small colored gemstones or mineral fragments set along the front of the raw selenite piece. Each corresponds to one of the seven chakras, running from red at the root to violet at the crown, one full spectrum in a single pendant.
This listing is for the pendant only, which includes a silver-toned bail for hanging. You can attach it to any cord, chain, or necklace you already own. I carry cords and chains separately in my neck chains and cords collection if you need one.
