Cleansing and Charging Crystals - a good rule of thumb is that if you’re not sure if you can place your crystals in water, salt, or direct sunlight because it might damage the stone, use moonlight or starlight instead. You can also place your crystals in a dry bath of herbs and flowers, or pass them through incense smoke.
The more often you use a stone, the more energy it collects. A good rule of thumb is to clear all of your stones at least once a month.
If an individual stone is feeling heavier than usual, go ahead and cleanse it. You don’t have to wait a designated amount of time between clearings.
Find a method that resonates with you and your practices. What works best for you may not work as well for someone else, so pay attention to what feels right. Please avoid the sun and moon at all cost. However seasalt, dirt or sand are all best practice options.
The stone should feel energetically and physically lighter to the touch when you retrieve it.
