How to Cleanse, Charge and Care for Your Crystals

Why Cleansing Matters

Crystals absorb energy from their environment. Regular cleansing resets their vibration and keeps your healing practice effective.

Three Gentle Cleansing Methods

1. Moonlight

Place your crystal on a windowsill or outdoor space overnight during a full moon. The moon's energy gently cleanses and charges.

2. Selenite

Selenite never needs cleansing and cleanses other crystals it touches. Place your crystal on a selenite plate for 2-4 hours.

3. Running Water

Hold your crystal under cool running water for 1-2 minutes. Caution: do not use water on soft stones like selenite, malachite, or unpolished pieces.

How to Charge

• Sunlight: 1-2 hours of morning sunlight (avoid prolonged exposure — it can fade color)
• Intention: Hold the crystal and state your intention aloud
• Sound: Singing bowls or tuning forks charge crystals through vibration

Daily Care Tips

• Store crystals separately to avoid scratches
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
• Keep out of direct prolonged sunlight
• Remove jewelry before swimming or showering

Signs Your Crystal Needs Cleansing

Dull appearance, feeling heavy, or reduced effect during meditation — all are signs it's time for a cleanse.
