Traditional methods for cleansing crystals, and care tips to keep them looking their best.
Crystals are traditionally cleansed from time to time to clear any energy they may have absorbed. Here are common methods, along with care notes for specific stones.
Selenite and pyrite should never be rinsed with water. Most tumbled and polished stones can be wiped with a soft, dry cloth. Always avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade color over time.
There's no fixed rule — many people cleanse monthly, during a full moon, or whenever a stone feels "heavy" or dull after frequent handling.
No. Selenite and pyrite should never be rinsed with water, since selenite can dissolve and pyrite can rust — use a dry cloth for these instead.
Moonlight is the simplest traditional method: place your crystal on a windowsill or outdoors overnight, ideally during a full moon.
