Slices, bowls & dishes
Selenite bowls, dishes and crystal slices to hold your jewellery, tumble stones and ritual tools. Choose a round, hex or eye-shaped selenite bowl in 6cm, 10cm or 15cm to suit your altar or dressing table.
How to choose a selenite bowl
Size is the first decision. A 6cm bowl is just right for a few rings or a handful of small stones. The 10cm size holds a little more, and the 15cm Selenite Round Bowl and Eye Bowl make a statement centrepiece for your altar or desk.
Then pick a shape. Round bowls are classic and simple, the hex bowl has a crisp, geometric outline, and the eye bowl has a more distinctive silhouette. All have the pale, silky, banded look that selenite is known for.
What is selenite used for?
Selenite is a soft, white crystal named after the Greek moon goddess Selene. In crystal folklore it is associated with clarity and calm, and it is popular as a resting place for other stones, which is why bowls and plates are so widely used. Many people place their jewellery or crystals in one overnight as part of their routine.
If you are building a crystal collection, start with some tumble stones and a cluster to rest in your bowl. Our raw crystals also look beautiful on a selenite dish.
Caring for selenite
Selenite is very soft and dissolves in water, so never wash it or leave it in a damp room like a bathroom. Wipe it with a dry cloth and handle it gently to avoid scratches and chips. Keep it on a dry shelf and out of reach of splashes, and do not use it to hold wet items.
