How do I clean my crystals?

The simplest methods are: running water (1–2 minutes), dry sea salt (overnight, no contact with the crystal), smoke from white sage or palo santo, or placing them near a selenite slab. Always check first whether your crystal is water-safe.

Which crystals cannot get wet?

Avoid water for: selenite, desert rose, malachite, pyrite, labradorite, celestite, angelite, and any crystal with a Mohs hardness below 6. Water can dissolve, rust or crack them.

How often should I clean my crystals?

A good rule of thumb: clean them when you first receive them, after intense use (healing sessions, difficult periods), and roughly once a month for crystals you wear or carry daily.

What is crystal charging?

Charging is the practice of restoring the energy of a crystal after cleansing. Common methods include moonlight (especially full moon), sunlight (with care — some crystals fade), placing on selenite, or burying briefly in earth.

Can I clean rose quartz with water?

Yes — rose quartz (Mohs 7) is water-safe. Rinse under cool running water for 1–2 minutes, then pat dry. Avoid prolonged soaking or salt water.

Does amethyst fade in sunlight?
