It can help to take things slowly when you first bring selenite into your space. Some people just put it down and leave it for a while. This gives you time to get used to it being there. Can also sit by your bed or anywhere else in your home. There is no right place. You can move it around and see where it looks best.
It can also help to be gentle when you handle it. You do not need to be too careful. These small things become natural after a while.
You might look at it now and then. If it still looks clear, then you can leave it. If it looks a bit dull then you can give it a soft wipe. That is usually enough.
It just becomes part of your space. You stop thinking about it. It is just there. A quiet addition that feels easy to live with.
Understanding selenite
Formed a long time ago, selenite is a naturally occurring crystal that is commonly handled and displayed.
Selenite is different from sodium selenite. Selenite in crystal form is a natural mineral.
Sometimes small flakes may come away from the crystal. It is best to clean these up and avoid getting them near your eyes.
Selenite and Water
You should avoid keeping selenite in water for a long duration; the crystal could dissolve if left for long enough.
Sun Exposure and Selenite
Leaving your selenite crystal in the sun for a long period of time can change colour of the crystal. Keeping exposure brief can help reduce this.
Craftsmanship
As with any natural stone, basic care during handling helps keep the crystal in good condition.

Selenite is easy to include in everyday spaces. It can stay in good condition for a long time with some looking after.
It does not need special treatment. Just a calm and steady approach is enough to help keep it looking its best.
Conclusion
It does help to be a little gentle with it. You might notice it now and then. If it still looks clear then you can leave it. If it looks a bit dull then you can give it a soft wipe. That is usually enough.
It is also worth keeping it away from too much water or strong sunlight. A little natural light is fine but long periods of water or strong direct sunlight can affect it over time. A quiet and dry spot tends to work best.
You stop thinking about it after a while. It just becomes part of your space. Something that sits there quietly and feels easy to have around.
