How to Purify Your Crystals

Crystals are powerful tools for healing and energy, but like all things, they can absorb negative energy over time. Purifying your crystals helps reset their energy and restore their healing properties. Here’s a simple guide to help you purify your crystals and keep them vibrant.

Why Purify Your Crystals?

Crystals absorb both positive and negative energy. Over time, they may become “clogged” with negative energy, which can affect their healing properties. Regularly purifying your crystals will help maintain their natural energy and enhance their effectiveness.

How to Purify Your Crystals

1. Use Water

One of the simplest ways to purify your crystals is by rinsing them under running water. Make sure to use lukewarm water, as extreme temperatures can harm some crystals. Avoid this method for crystals that dissolve in water, like selenite or malachite.

2. Smudging

Smudging with sage or palo santo is a traditional way to clear negative energy. Light your smudge stick and let the smoke pass over your crystal. This method works well for most crystals and is a great way to reset their energy.

3. Salt Bath

Place your crystal in a bowl of sea salt and water. Let it sit for a few hours, then rinse it off. Salt is a natural purifier and can help remove unwanted energy. However, avoid using this method for softer crystals, as they may be damaged by salt.

4. Sunlight or Moonlight

Crystals love the energy of the sun or moon. Place your crystal outside in the sunlight for a few hours to energize it. If you’re purifying it for emotional healing or intuition, moonlight, especially during a full moon, is perfect for gentle cleansing.

5. Sound Cleansing

You can use sound to purify your crystals by using a singing bowl, bell, or tuning fork. The vibrations help release any trapped negative energy and reset the crystal’s energy field.

6. Using Clear Quartz for Cleansing

As a powerful cleansing stone, Clear Quartz can be used to purify and recharge other crystals. We provide a pouch of clear quartz chips with every order, allowing you to easily purify your crystals by placing them on or near the Clear Quartz. This will help clear any negative energy and restore the crystal’s natural power.

When to Purify Your Crystals

It’s a good idea to purify your crystals regularly, especially after intense use or exposure to negative environments. You may also want to cleanse them after receiving a gift or bringing them from a new place.

Conclusion

Purifying your crystals is an important practice for maintaining their energy and effectiveness. Whether you choose water, smudging, salt, sunlight, sound, or Clear Quartz cleansing, these methods will help reset your crystals and restore their natural healing powers.

Take care of your crystals, and they’ll take care of you. Keep them charged and ready for your next healing journey!
