Why and How to Cleanse Your Crystals

Crystals are more than just pretty objects — they are companions on your personal journey. They witness your highs and lows, your frustrations and breakthroughs. And like any friend who listens deeply, they too need time to recharge.

2 Reasons Why You Should Cleanse Your Crystals

1. To Remove Energies They Have Absorbed

Crystals naturally absorb energies from their surroundings — including stress, sadness, and heavy emotional residue. Cleansing them helps release that energy, restoring them to their natural vibrance and vibration.

2. A Form of Care and Respect

Once you choose a crystal, it becomes your ally. Think of it like a friend who’s always there to hold space for you. Wouldn’t you want to give that friend a moment to rest, release, and breathe? Cleansing is your way of showing love and gratitude for their quiet support.

Over time, you might notice changes in the crystal’s color, texture, or shine — a natural sign of bonding. When a crystal appears dull or less vibrant, it’s often a gentle nudge that it’s time to cleanse.

 

How to Cleanse Your Crystals

There are many ways to cleanse your crystals — some gentle, others more ritualistic. Choose what resonates with you and your crystal’s energy.

🌀 1. Running Water

Hold your crystal under running water (stream, rain, or faucet) for about 15 minutes.
⚠️ Do not use this method for: Selenite, Calcite, Lepidolite, or Malachite — they are soft and may dissolve or become damaged.

🌊 2. Salt Water (Optional and With Caution)

Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in water (adjust volume based on your crystal’s size). Soak your crystal for a few hours, then pat dry.
⚠️ Not recommended for accessories as it can corrode metal and weaken elastic threads. Also, avoid this method for soft or porous stones (e.g., Selenite, Rhodochrosite, Malachite).
✓ Safe for: Harder crystals like Quartz.

☀️🌙 3. Sunlight and Moonlight

  • Morning sun (6AM–10AM): Place your crystal where it can catch the soft sunlight.

  • Moonlight: Leave your crystal under the full moon overnight.
    Tip: Place them directly on soil or a natural surface for stronger grounding.
    ⚠️ Avoid harsh noon sun which can fade or damage some crystals.

🌬️ 4. Breath & Visualization

This method is energy-based and requires your presence.

  • Sit quietly and take deep, grounding breaths.

  • Visualize white healing light flowing from your hands or above, enveloping the crystal.

  • Let your intuition guide you when the cleansing feels complete.
    ⚠️ Skip this method if you’re emotionally distressed or unable to focus.

🌾 5. Brown Rice or Rose Petals

Bury your crystal in a bowl of uncooked brown rice or rose petals for 24–48 hours.
Afterwards, discard the rice or petals, as they’ve absorbed unwanted energy.

🔥 6. Sage, Palo Santo, or Incense Smoke

  • Light your chosen herb or incense.

  • Gently pass the crystal through the smoke for about 3 minutes.

  • You can say a prayer, affirmation, or intention during this process.

🎵 7. Singing Bowl or Tuning Fork

  • Breathe deeply to center yourself.

  • Strike your singing bowl or tuning fork, letting the vibration surround your crystal.

  • Do this until you intuitively feel the cleansing is complete.

🌟 8. Cleansing with Selenite (Safe, Gentle & Effective)

Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal that can also cleanse other stones.
Place your crystal on or beside a selenite slab, stick, or bowl overnight.
It’s one of the safest methods because it doesn’t require water, heat, or direct contact with nature.
✓ Ideal for soft or water-sensitive stones like:
– Lepidolite
– Malachite
– Angelite
– Rhodochrosite

If you’re not sure how to begin your cleansing journey, selenite is a perfect starting point.

💬 Q & A

How often should I cleanse my crystal?
It depends on how often you use it or feel it’s energetically “heavy.” Some people cleanse weekly, others monthly. Trust your intuition.

Can I leave my crystal on my car’s dashboard for cleansing?
No — the heat trapped in the car can damage your crystal. It’s not the same as intentional sun exposure.

Can I use two or more cleansing methods together?
Yes! For example, you can combine running water with morning sunlight. Follow what feels right for you and your crystal.

Should I cleanse it every time someone else touches it?
Only if you feel uneasy about the energy of that person. Crystals bond with you — casual touch doesn’t usually affect their energy unless there’s strong intention or negativity involved.

My bracelet broke — is it due to negative energy? Can I still use the stones?
Sometimes breakage is a sign the crystal has served its purpose or absorbed too much.

  • For Onyx, Tiger’s Eye, or other protective stones, it’s best to retire or bury them.

  • For other stones, you can cleanse and reuse.

Final Thoughts

Cleansing your crystals isn’t just a routine — it’s a ritual of gratitude and renewal. Whether you do it weekly or during a full moon, do it with intention. Honor your crystal companions for holding space for you, and allow them the time to breathe, reset, and glow again.

  • Got my carnelian & black tourmaline from MadebyKCA & I love them. I’d reco this shop especially for first-time crystal owners as the package includes how to take care of the crystals & step-by-step procedures on how to cleanse them. I also requested to have the carnelian be adjusted to my wrist size. It fits perfectly. Thank you, madebyKCA 🤍🌞

  • Bought my first pendant crystals here the black tourmaline raw pendant and cirtrine free form pendant. For my second purchase it was the green aventurine and carnelian both necklaces. I love the energy that it has when I’m receiving my orders it has a different energy that feels genuin and just pure intentions, i love it!. I tried ordering from other sellers that provides the same online service but the energy and experience that I felt was not the same. I think that it’s important that you feel the energy of the crystals just by receiving it because u know it came from a seller that has good intentions for the crystals and the client. I HOPE THAT ALL OF THE CLIENT HERE EXPERIENCE THE SAME WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE FROM THIS SHOP!!!! SPREADING LOVE AND ABUNDANCE TO EVERYONE.
