Metaphysical Properties: This piece can be used to place or adhere other small stones, and can then be placed on an altar (for example) or used as a tool/wand. The fibrous form of Selenite is reminiscent of an optic fiber--if you shine light on one end, it will be carried to the other through the Selenite. Therefore, it is a good conductor of energy. It can also be used to achieve clarity of mind. When used in meditation, you may be able to see the inner workings of situations and see where things are going.
