Crystal Care Guide

Your crystals are living energetic tools. Treat them with love, cleanse them regularly, and protect them from what can cause harm. Here is everything you need to know. 🌙

✦ ✧ ✦

How to Cleanse Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy from their environment. Regular cleansing clears old energies and restores their natural vibration. Charging then amplifies their power and intention.

🔔

Sound Cleansing

Sound vibrations break up and dissolve stagnant energy held in crystals. It is one of the safest methods — suitable for all crystals without exception.

Use a singing bowl, bell, or tuning fork
Place crystals nearby and strike the bowl
Let the sound waves wash over them for 5–10 minutes
Set your intention as the sound fades
🌿

Sage / Smoke Cleansing

Burning sacred herbs like white sage, palo santo, or rosemary creates purifying smoke that clears negative energy from crystals and spaces alike.

Light your sage bundle or palo santo
Pass your crystal slowly through the smoke
Visualise the smoke carrying away all old energy
Cleanse for 30–60 seconds per crystal
🪨

Selenite Plate

Selenite is one of the few self-cleansing crystals. Placing your crystals on a Selenite plate or slab overnight draws out negative energy and recharges their vibration naturally.

Place your crystals on the Selenite plate
Leave overnight or for at least 4–6 hours
Safe for ALL crystals including water-sensitive ones
No sunlight or water needed — Selenite does the work
🌕

Moonlight Charging

The full moon emits powerful cleansing and charging energy. Moonlight is gentle, safe for all crystals, and especially powerful for intuition and feminine energy stones.

Place crystals on a windowsill or outdoors on a full moon night
Leave from dusk to dawn
Safe for ALL crystals including light-sensitive ones
Set your intention before placing them out
🌱

Earth Burial

Returning crystals to the earth allows them to reconnect with their natural energy source, releasing deep blockages and fully recharging their grounding vibration.

Wrap crystal in a natural cloth or place directly in soil
Bury in your garden for 24 hours to one week
Mark the spot so you can find it!
Rinse gently if safe for water after retrieval
🙏

Intention & Breathwork

Your conscious intention and breath are powerful cleansing tools. This method is instant, always available, and works beautifully for all crystals at any time.

Hold your crystal in both hands
Take three deep breaths, focusing on the crystal
Exhale sharply over the crystal three times
State your intention aloud or silently

✦ Golden Rules for Crystal Care ✦

🌙Cleanse new crystals immediately when you receive them to clear any energy they absorbed in transit or from previous handlers.
📅Cleanse regularly — at least once a month, or after any intense healing session, emotional event, or when they feel "heavy".
💎Program your crystal after cleansing by holding it and clearly stating your intention — this directs its energy toward your goal.
🤲Handle your crystals with clean hands and set a calm, positive mindset when working with them.
📦Store crystals wrapped in silk, velvet, or natural cloth when not in use to protect them from absorbing random energies.
🚫Never let others casually handle your personal healing crystals — they can absorb the energy of others quickly.

Crystals Sensitive to Sunlight

Some crystals are highly sensitive to prolonged sunlight exposure. Their colours can fade permanently and their structure may be damaged. Please keep these away from direct sun.

☀️

Do not leave these crystals in direct sunlight for extended periods. Even a few hours of strong sun can permanently fade their colour and diminish their beauty and energy. Use moonlight, sound, or Selenite cleansing instead.

💜 Amethyst & Pink Amethyst

Fades from deep purple to pale lilac or grey. One of the most sun-sensitive crystals — keep away from windowsills.

🌸 Rose Quartz

Fades from soft pink to white over time. Use moonlight charging instead — it also enhances its loving energy.

💛 Citrine

Heat-treated citrine can fade to clear or white. Natural citrine is more stable but still best kept from harsh sun.

🌷 Kunzite

Known as the "evening stone" — it fades rapidly in sunlight. Always store in a dark, cool place.

🩵 Aquamarine

The beautiful blue colour can bleach to white with sun exposure. Display in shaded areas only.

💎 Ametrine & Amegreen

Fades over time due to their amethyst components. Keep these in a cool, low-light environment.

🟣 Fluorite

Fades, especially purple and green varieties. Particularly sensitive — avoid all direct sunlight.

🔵 Apatite

Colour will fade noticeably with sun exposure. Store wrapped in cloth away from windows.

🩵 Turquoise

Can fade and turn from blue to green as it dehydrates in the sun. Also avoid water and oils.

Crystals That Dissolve in Water

Some crystals are water-soluble or will disintegrate, soften, or be permanently damaged by water exposure. Never soak or rinse these crystals.

💧

These crystals should never be placed in water for cleansing. Even high humidity can cause damage to some. Always use sound, smoke, moonlight, or Selenite plate methods for these crystals.

🤍 Selenite / Satin Spar

A form of gypsum that will soften and eventually dissolve in water. Ironic — the cleansing tool itself cannot touch water!

🧂 Halite (Rock Salt)

Will melt away entirely in water. Keep completely dry — even high humidity can cause surface damage.

🌹 Desert Rose

A type of gypsum that dissolves easily in water. Beautiful and fragile — handle with care and keep dry.

❄️ Hanksite

Known to dissolve even from exposure to high humidity or morning dew. Store in an airtight container.

✨ Apophyllite

Too soft to withstand water exposure — will deteriorate and lose its beautiful lustre and structure quickly.

💧 Safe Alternatives for Water-Sensitive Crystals

🪨Place on a Selenite plate overnight — the most effective and completely safe method.
🔔Use singing bowl sound cleansing — vibrations pass through all crystals safely.
🌿Pass through sage or palo santo smoke for a quick and effective cleanse.
🌕Leave in moonlight overnight — gentle, safe, and powerfully charging.
