How to Cleanse & Charge Stones or Crystals

When you receive a new stone or crystal, we suggest you cleanse it, so the energy you put into it is your own

1) Brown Rice: This method is an easy way to cleanse stones or crystals and can also be used to draw out negativity in a safe and contained setting. fill a small bowl with dry brown rice and bury your stone or crystal beneath the grains in the rice for 24 hours, then dispose of the rice at once after the cleansing, as the rice is said to have absorbed the energy you’re trying to eradicate.

2) Sage: For this method, ignite the tip of the sage with a flame. Transfer the sage to your nondominant hand and firmly grasp your stone or crystal and move it through the smoke. Allow the smoke to envelop the stone or crystal for about 30 seconds. If it’s been a while since your last cleansing — or you feel the stone or crystal is holding onto a lot — consider smudging for an additional 30 seconds.

3) Larger Stones: For cleansing smaller stones or crystals, Large quartz clusters, amethyst geodes, and selenite slabs or bowls can be great tools to do so. Place your stone or crystal directly inside or on top of any of these stones. It’s thought that the larger stone’s vibrations remove the inharmonious energies found in the resting stone or crystal. Leave the stone or crystal there and it will be fully cleansed and charged after 24 hours.
