In the crystal world there is many different stones for different purposes. A stone like selenite placed around your crystals will provide your crystals with clean energy. The power that Selenite radiates has the strength to charge many crystals at once. This also makes it the ideal stone for accompanying crystals that you carry with you through the day or have on display at home.
Another common way is water. Whether it be distilled tap water or salt water. You can incorporate this into a ritual with flame or other preference is giving your crystals a soak in water for the element to cleanse your crystal. After waiting about 15 minutes, taking the crystal out, rinsing with clean water then allowing them to air dry. If you use this option, please ensure that your crystal is water safe as some crystals become toxic once they are placed in water and others may begin disintegrating.
Smudging is a popular way to cleanse crystals. We also have a smokeless alternative in the form of a spray in store and online. Traditionally this is a Native tradition where you burn herbs to cleanse and purify your space.
Singing bowls are made of Clear Quartz and a form of sound therapy. There vibrational tones bring the crystal back to be rebalanced. We have singing bowls in store in a range of different materials which can provide you with another form of cleansing for both your crystal and aura.
Lastly, using the sun and/or moon to cleanse your crystal is an effortless option. People like to use the strength of the full moon to cleanse, charge and rebalance their stones. The Sun and Moon hold powerful purifying energies, so placing your stones out under them for as little as 15 minutes will change the energy of your stone.
Cleansing your stone is extremely important to ensure that your crystals aren’t holding any negative or unwanted energies. Once your crystal is cleansed you can use it to the best of its ability, working alongside your stones to get the outcome you want. Once your crystal has been cleansed you can set your intentions.
