Selenite is an extremely soft mineral, registering only a 2 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is one of the softest crystals in the world and is literally softer than a human fingernail, which can easily scratch its surface.

Because of its extreme softness and delicate, flaky structure, it requires special care:

Avoid water: Selenite is water-soluble; soaking it in water can slowly dissolve the crystal or ruin its glassy polish.

Handle with care: It chips and scratches easily, making it a poor choice for everyday jewelry (like rings or bracelets).

Safe cleaning: If it gets dusty, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth instead of water or liquid cleaners.
