## Description

Small Charging Plate 8cm - Tree of Life is made from selenite, about 8cm, a soft, silky-white crystal with a natural fibrous glow.

The Tree of Life appears in Norse (Yggdrasil), Celtic and Kabbalistic traditions as a symbol connecting earth, roots and sky.

At around 8cm this is the mid-sized option: big enough to notice on a shelf, small enough for a desk or windowsill. Mid sizes are the most versatile: they hold a bracelet or a handful of tumbles, or sit happily on a bedside table.

This is one of 3 options in the Small Charging Plate 8cm range; nearby choices include Chakra Design, Mandala Design.

Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum, soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, typically pearly white with a silky sheen. It measures 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural gypsum.

The Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, holds selenite beams over 10 metres long.

Size: approximately 8cm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

Selenite takes its name from Selene, Greek goddess of the moon, because of its pearly sheen. Selenite is named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. In modern practice selenite plates and bowls are used to 'charge' or cleanse other crystals placed on them. In modern crystal tradition selenite is linked with the crown chakra and with Taurus and Cancer. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.

## How to use

- Rest other crystals or jewellery on it overnight as a cleansing ritual.
- Use it as a bright, moonlike accent on an altar or bedside table.
- It pairs traditionally with any crystal you want to rest on it.
- Handling tip: selenite can leave fine white dust; a soft dry paintbrush keeps it tidy.
- Display tip: put it on a felt pad or coaster to avoid scratches on both the stone and the furniture.
- Overnight ritual: lay rings, bracelets or tumble stones on it before bed and pick them up in the morning.

## Care

- Never wet selenite: it is water-soluble and will dissolve or cloud.
