A simple guide to understanding why all “selenite plates” are not the same.
If you’ve ever shopped for cleansing tools, you’ve probably seen “selenite plates” everywhere—sometimes even offered as a free add-on with bracelets.
And naturally, many customers begin to wonder:
“Why are some selenite plates so cheap while others are priced higher?”
“Aren’t all selenite plates the same?”
The truth is:
They’re not. Not even close.
In the market, there are two completely different products being sold under the same name:
-
Resin Plates with Selenite Chips
-
Solid, Natural Selenite Plates Carved from a Single Mineral Block
They may look similar in photos, but their origin, energy, durability, and purpose are fundamentally different.
This blog explains these differences clearly so you can make an informed choice.
1. What is a Resin Selenite Chip Plate?
These are commonly sold at very low prices or given as complimentary items.
✔ What it actually is:
A base of resin (a man-made material similar to plastic)
+
Tiny selenite chips sprinkled or embedded inside the resin mould.
✔ How it is made:
- Chips of selenite are collected
- Mixed or placed into a resin mould
- Set and polished
✔ Appearance:
- Smooth, glossy, plastic-like surface
- Chips appear “floating” inside
- No natural fibrous structure
✔ Purpose:
- Aesthetic
- Light, decorative use
- Contains selenite chips but not a full slab of the crystal’s natural energy field
✔ Why it’s cheap or often free:
Because it does not use a large piece of natural selenite, and does not require mining, carving, or skilled crystal shaping.
2. What is a Natural Selenite Plate?
This is the authentic selenite slab traditionally used for:
- Crystal cleansing
- Energy clearing
- Raising vibration
- Charging other crystals
- Aura purification
✔ What it actually is:
A solid, single piece of natural selenite mineral carved from raw stone blocks.
✔ How it is made:
- Mined from large gypsum deposits
- Cut into slabs
- Carved, shaped & polished by hand or machines
- Carefully handled because selenite is delicate
✔ Appearance:
- Natural fibrous lines
- Pearly, moon-like glow
- Slight variations in thickness and texture (because it is truly natural)
✔ Purpose:
- Strong energy cleansing
- Real crystal vibration
- Effective crystal charging
- Long-term ritual and healing use
✔ Why it costs more:
Because you are buying:
- A natural mineral slab
- Skilled craftsmanship
- Sustainable sourcing
- A product that cannot be replicated cheaply
- Authentic energy properties of full selenite
This is why natural selenite can never be priced like a resin-chip plate—it requires mining, labour, and careful shaping.
3. Energy Difference: Resin vs. Natural Selenite
Resin Plate Energy
- Decorative
- Contains crystal chips but not a unified energy field
- More aesthetic than energetic
Natural Selenite Plate Energy
- Emits cleansing vibrations from the entire slab
- Clears negative energy
- Charges crystals
- Works continuously and powerfully
If your intention is healing, cleansing, or ritual work, a natural selenite plate is the correct tool.
4. How to Identify the Difference Quickly
✔ Natural Selenite Plate
- Fibrous lines running through the crystal
- Soft satin shimmer
- Visible variations & natural texture
- Heavier weight
- Feels cool to the touch
✔ Resin Selenite Chip Plate
- Perfectly smooth, plastic-like surface
- Chips appear scattered on top or embedded
- Uniform shape & thickness
- Lightweight
- No natural lines
These visual signs alone help you identify the authenticity.
