How to Cleanse Your Crystals (and Why It Matters)

Crystals absorb the energy of every hand and every room they pass through. Cleansing resets them — think of it as washing the lens so the light comes through clearly again.

Five simple methods

Moonlight: leave your stones on a windowsill overnight at the full moon. Selenite: rest bracelets on a selenite wand or plate for a few hours — selenite never needs cleansing itself. Smoke: pass stones through sage or incense smoke. Sound: a singing bowl resets energy beautifully. Running water: brief and only for water-safe stones like quartz.

How often?

Cleanse new pieces the day they arrive, and jewelry you wear daily about once a week — or whenever a bracelet starts to feel “heavy.”
