Cleansing

Ways to cleanse your crystals

Leave them in direct Sunlight.

You can cleanse and charge your crystals in sunlight, but be careful because some crystles do NOT work well with sunlight. Eg: Amethyst, the color will fade if you leave it for too long so be careful for how long you leave them in the sun (some crystals not all)

Leave them in direct Moonlight

You can leave your gems to cleanse or charge in the moonlight, you can leave them for 30 mins or all night. Cleansing or charging your gems in moonlight is diffrent from charging or cleansing them in the sun since the moon won't make them fade or any other drawbacks that the sun could do.

Use water

You can cleanse your crystals by using running water, whether its tap water, drinking water or even better fresh water from a running stream. You just need to rinse them for a few minutes make sure that all the gem is coverd in water. There is another method where you fill a bowl with water but some gems do NOT work well with water, some gems could disolve or rust so i suggest that you rinse them yourself.

Burrying them

You can burry them in sea salt (ONLY sea salt not any other salt) and leave them for 30 mins or hours even days.
You can also burry them in the earths ground for hours or even days.

Smoke cleanse

Get any dry leaves, and get a lighter. Now you want to put the dry leaves ontop of the flame, you don't want to set it on fire, only until smoke starts coming out and thats it! Don't set it on fire.
