Natural Selenite Plate - Sri Yantra Engraved

A 3 x 3 inch square plate of natural selenite, engraved with the Sri Yantra, the sacred geometry of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari at the heart of Sri Vidya. Selenite's soft, silky white glow and the fine lines of the yantra make it both a working tool for your crystals and a quiet presence on the altar.

Quick facts

• Stone: natural selenite (crystalline gypsum)
• Engraving: Sri Yantra
• Size: 3 x 3 inches (about 7.5 x 7.5 cm), square
• Made in: Bharat

How it is traditionally used

• To cleanse and recharge crystals: rest your crystal bracelets, tumbles and malas on the plate overnight.
• On the altar: as a base for a small murti, a diya or sacred objects.
• For meditation: as a focus for Sri Yantra dhyana, or simply on your desk or bedside.

In crystal traditions, selenite is associated with clarity, calm and a cleansing, uplifting energy, and is one of the few crystals believed not to need cleansing itself.

About the Sri Yantra

The Sri Yantra is formed of nine interlocking triangles around a central point, the bindu, surrounded by lotus petals and a square enclosure. It is the yantra of Devi Lalita Tripurasundari, worshipped in Sri Vidya as the form of the Goddess in which the whole of creation is held.

Care

• Keep it dry. Selenite dissolves in water, so never wash it or leave it in a damp place.
• Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth or brush.
• Selenite is soft and scratches easily, so handle it gently and keep it away from harder stones.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the plate?

It is 3 x 3 inches (about 7.5 x 7.5 cm), large enough to hold a bracelet, a few tumbled crystals or a folded mala.

How do I use a selenite plate to cleanse crystals?

Place your crystals or bracelet on the plate and leave them overnight. Many do this every 2 to 4 weeks, or whenever a piece feels in need of it.

Can I wash selenite?

No. Selenite is a form of gypsum and dissolves slowly in water. Clean it with a dry cloth only.

Sri Yantra or Om: which plate should I choose?

Both are the same natural selenite. Choose the Sri Yantra plate if you are drawn to Devi worship or Sri Vidya, or the Om plate for a simpler, universal symbol.

Is this natural selenite?

Yes. Natural selenite often shows small pits, fine lines or marks on the surface or inside the stone. These are signs of a genuine stone, not defects.
