QUESTION: i was unaware that selenite should not be cleaned in water and haveleft my large selenite ball over night in water and salt . Now it has lost its shine all together and has become rough and chalk to touch. The local crystal lady has told me to leave it in the sun , which i am now doing. Can you give me any suggestions to recover the shine of the crystal ???
ANSWER: Hi, thank you for your email. Yes, Selenite and other soft stones will dissolve in water. We always prefer the dry brown rice or sage methods of cleaning, especially if you are unsure. You can see more on how to clean and care for your crystals on our website's Crystal FAQ's and Video Tutorials.
At this point, the Selenite will not regain its shine unless you take it back to a professional stone polisher. You may want to check your local gemological association or any gem fairs or rock shops in your area for this service.
If you have any other crystal healing related questions, feel free to email us at info@satincrystals.com.
Sincerely,
Sheila Satin
