Delivered with a wooden or plastic stand Many theories are proposed about the origins of selenite. The one that comes up most often and seems the most logical is related to Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, the goddess of the moon is named Selene. Selene is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia and reflects purity and benevolence. These are qualities also associated with the white moon. Another hypothesis explains that selenite comes from the Greek word "selenitis," which literally translates to moonstone.
