Have you ever wondered how to cleanse your crystals? Well, wonder no longer! We’ve compiled 7 easy ways to cleanse your crystals below.
​
But first - why cleanse them?
​
​Crystals are believed to absorb energy from their environment, including negative energies… which is why cleansing them periodically is recommended in many spiritual practices.

​Some of our fav methods for cleansing crystals:
​
Moonlight: Placing your crystals under the light of the full moon is a popular method for cleansing. Simply leave your crystals outside or on a windowsill where they can absorb the moonlight overnight. This method is believed to recharge and cleanse the crystals with the energy of the moon.
​​
Sunlight: Some crystals can also be cleansed using sunlight, although be cautious as prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may fade the color of certain crystals. Leave your crystals outside in a sunny spot for a few hours to cleanse and recharge them.
​
​Running water: Holding your crystals under running water, such as a natural stream or under a faucet, can help wash away negative energies. Make sure to use lukewarm water and gently rinse the crystals. However, be cautious as some crystals can be damaged by water (like Selenite!!), so it's best to research whether your specific crystals are safe to cleanse this way.
​
​Sea salt: Placing your crystals in a bowl of sea salt or burying them in salt is believed to absorb negative energies. Leave the crystals in the salt for several hours or overnight, then rinse them under running water to remove any salt residue.
​
Smudging: Burning sacred herbs such as sage, palo santo, or cedar and passing your crystals through the smoke is another way to cleanse them. Simply hold the crystals in the smoke for a few moments, allowing the smoke to envelop them and clear away any negative energies.
​
​Sound: Using sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks can also cleanse crystals. Simply ring the bell or bowl near the crystals, allowing the sound waves to penetrate and clear away any negative energies.
​
​Visualization: Some people believe in the power of intention and visualization to cleanse crystals. Simply hold the crystal in your hands, close your eyes, and visualize bright white light surrounding and penetrating the crystal, clearing away any negative energies.

Happy cleansing, beauties!
