A one stop guide of how to cleanse your crystals.

To get the best from your beautiful crystals it is important that you cleanse them regularly.


Cleanse crystals before use. If you use your crystals to help another person, cleanse after each use otherwise for personal use cleanse each month.


Sunlight

Placing crystals in the light of the sun can cleanse them. Check that they won't fade first and take care to ensure the suns rays are not focused in a way that could start a fire


Moonlight

Placing crystals in the moonlight for a few hours can cleanse them. Full moon's are the best times to cleanse crystals and have the added impact of charging your crystals too.

Water

Crystals can be held under running water or immersed in sea or salt water to wash negativity away. Be careful that the crystals do not dissolve in water before using this method as it is not suitable for all types of crystal.

DO NOT wash Selenite or Angelite for example.

Smudging

Lighting a Sage Smudge stick and running crystals through the smoke will purify them and cleanse them. Be sure to set your intent whilst cleansing them in this way.

Candlelight

You can pass your crystals through the light from a candle to repurify them and surround them with light.

Cleansing Spray

Cleansing sprays are now readily available that can be used to cleanse your crystal . Alternatively an atomiser of water and essential oils can be used

Crystals

Certain crystals can cleanse others. Carnelian can cleanse crystals when placed in a bag overnight. Or selenite is great at keeping crystals it is with energetically charged and cleansed.

Earth

Return crystals to the ground or place next to plants. Being close to their original source helps to cleanse them and renew their energies.

Incense

Use incense to run crystals through the smoke

Visualisation

Imagine the crystal surrounded by intense light which purifies and energises them. This can be an effective method when all others are not available.

Sound

Certain sound vibrations run through the crystals cleansing any negative energy. Singing bowls are the most common way to get a great sound energy.

Sea Salt

Place your crystals in sea salt overnight. Ensure that you brush off all the salt once you take the crystals back out from the salt as in some cases the salt can damage the crystal structure over a longer course of time.


With each cleansing technique you should always hold the intention that negativity will be washed away and positivity and natural state returned to the crystal. You should also visualise what you are looking to achieve so that crystal can attune to your intent.
