what is the best way to cleanse or purify healing crystals?

Answer 1

Soaking: Soak your gemstone or crystal in sea salt dissolved in warm purified or spring water. Don't use a metal bowl, a crystal bowl is best. I leave mine in about 3 or 4 hours, and I do not do them all at once. ( I would miss them too much). Rinse them in cool water when you are finished to remove any salt. Do not re-use this salt water. Those negative energies you wanted to rid from your crystals are now in the water. Don't soak porous stones, like opal, lapis, coral. It will harm the stone. For those stones I would use a silver or pearl polishing cloth.

Running water: Place your stones in a mesh bag, and immerse in a outdoors stream or river for a few hours. This both cleanses AND re-energizes your stones.

Moonlight: Place your gemstone or crystal in direct moonlight overnight. A nice size bedroom window sill is perfect. Don't choose one that gets the morning sun. I have a special place in my garden where the sun never shines, under a jade tree plant which I move out under the sky during moonshine.

To store them, wrap each one separately, or at least put inside a cotton ball, before putting in the pouch. They don't do well when jostled together.

The pouch should be velvet, wool, or flannel. Silk can be used if it is virgin silk.

Answer 2

you can turn your crystal faceted points to the east for at least a day to recharge them. Also you can bathe them in a sea salt/water solution, then set them outside during a moon cycle.

Answer 3

I was always told to bury them in dry sea salt for several days. Remove and throw away the salt.

Answer 4

mild salt water
