Selenite plates are slices of a soft, pearly gypsum crystal. In crystal tradition they are used to 'charge' or rest other crystals and jewellery.

## Step by step

- **Step 1.** Place it somewhere dry and stable.
- **Step 2.** Lay crystals or jewellery on top.
- **Step 3.** Leave them overnight or as long as you like.
- **Step 4.** Dust the plate gently with a dry cloth.

## Looking after it

- Keep selenite dry: it slowly dissolves and dulls in water, and it scratches easily.

## Safety

- Don't put selenite in water or use it in crystal water.
