Care guide · Crystals

In crystal traditions, crystals are cleansed to clear absorbed energy and recharged to restore it. The simplest method for almost every stone is a selenite charging plate.

Why selenite?

Selenite is traditionally said to cleanse itself and anything placed on it, without water or sunlight. Keep it dry: it dissolves slowly in water.

03

How often?

Many people recharge daily-wear bracelets once a week, and after a stressful day or when the bracelet feels “heavy”.

04

Setting an intention

After cleansing, hold the crystal, take a few calm breaths and state what you want it to support, such as focus, protection or abundance.

05

Gemstone rings

Astrological gemstones are traditionally purified in raw milk and Ganga jal with the planet's mantra; see each stone's guide, for example Neelam or Pukhraj.
