Selenite

Traditionally used to cleanse and recharge other crystals, not usually worn continuously — more of a tool than a piece of jewelry. Currently available as a pyramid and pendant.

See our Selenite Pyramid — ₹649

Clear Quartz

The more common everyday-wear option — worn continuously for amplifying intention and general clarity, and available as a bracelet.

Which to choose

Many people use both together — a Selenite piece at home to cleanse and recharge jewelry, and a Clear Quartz bracelet for daily wear.

How to wear & care

Clear Quartz is made for everyday wear — slip the bracelet onto your left (receiving) wrist and leave it on, then cleanse it under cool running water for about a minute and recharge it in soft moonlight rather than long, direct sun. Selenite is best kept as a home tool: rest your other pieces beside it to reset them, and keep it dry, since this soft mineral dislikes water — clear it in moonlight instead. Every MantraMani piece is lab-certified and Vedic-activated before it ships.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear Selenite and Clear Quartz together?

Yes, and they pair naturally. Keep a Selenite piece at home to cleanse and recharge your Clear Quartz between wears, then wear the Clear Quartz through the day — one resets, the other amplifies.

Should I pick Selenite or Clear Quartz?

Choose Clear Quartz if you want a piece to wear every day to amplify intention and keep your mind clear. Choose Selenite if you mainly want a tool to cleanse and recharge your other crystals at home. Many people keep both for exactly that reason.

Which wrist should I wear my Clear Quartz bracelet on?

The left wrist is traditionally the receiving side, so it is the usual choice for drawing in clear, focused energy. Switch to the right if you would rather project that intention outward, and slip the bracelet off before showering or swimming.
