Crystal Cleansing
I think cleansing crystals should happen when it feels right for you. It shouldn't feel rigid or like you're making a mistake by not adhering to specific timing. If you're inclined to cleanse them during certain moon phases, that's wonderful. However, it's just as perfect if you only feel the urge when you sense they need care and attention.
Here are some beautiful ways you can cleanse your crystals:
Sage: Pass your crystals through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or cedar to clear negative energy.
Sunlight: Leave your crystals in direct sunlight for several hours to recharge and cleanse them.
Moonlight: Place your crystals under the light of the full moon overnight to cleanse and enhance their energy.
Salt Bath: Submerge your crystals in a bowl of saltwater (preferably sea salt or Himalayan salt) to draw out negativity.
Running Water: Rinse your crystals under cool, running water, visualizing any negative energy washing away. (Please check your crystals are water safe first)
Earth Burial: Bury your crystals in the soil for a period of time, allowing them to absorb the earth's grounding energy.
Sound Healing: Use sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks to cleanse and purify your crystals.
Crystal Care
Crystals have been around since the beginning of time and it is important to know they all hold varying degrees of delicacy. Try not to overthink it but here are some basic crystal care tips!
Cleaning: If you choose to clean your crystals the safest way is with a gentle microfiber cloth, soft toothbrush & mild water
Sunlight: Some crystals will fade over time in direct sunlight like window ledges.
Water: Do not submerge your crystals in water for a long period of time and some need to avoid water entirely (pyrite)
Handling: All crystals especially clusters need handled with care as they are natural objects that can easily break
Crystals are a beautiful tool to use alongside your healing journey & life. They are not intended to replace professional advice but are a beautiful support & intuition/energy enhancer.
Crystals are unique gifts from nature transformed and created over up to millions of years, each piece has its own special journey and as such no two are ever the same. The crystals contain small fissures and pists and imperfections and as part of differing lighting during photography the colours may vary. Pieces will also include inclusions that may show up differently in photography. Please take ALL of these as a sign your crystals are from nature not grow or printed in a lab, we welcome every little sign your treasures are real they are not "bad" pieces.
