Caring For Your Crystals & Gemstone Jewellery
Cleansing your crystals/ gemstone jewellery is important as crystals travel long distances to reach you, exposing the stone to many energies along the way. As you know, your gemstones all start from the ground as raw stones and crystals then mined, cut and passed on to many hands before arriving to me to craft them into jewellery.
When used in healing, stones are said to be able to absorb or dispel the negativity you're working to release. Cleansing and recharging your crystals/gemstones is the only way to restore your stones to their natural state so they can fully serve their purpose.
Ways to cleanse your gemstone jewellery at home:
- Running water
- Sunlight or Moonlight - Return your crystals to nature by allowing it to bathe in sun or moon light for at least 4 hours.
- Smoke it out - Smudging your crystals is said to clear inharmonious vibrations and restore its natural energy. Sage, Frankincense and Palo Santo also makes your home smell great.
- Other Crystals - Large quartz clusters, amethyst geodes and selenite slabs are great stones to recharge your smaller stones or jewellery. I tend to place my smaller crystals/ or jewellery in my two large amethys geodes or just display all my bracelets and necklaces on my clear quartz. Carnelian, clear quartz and hematite are also also said to have an overall clearing effect.
- Sound - Chanting, singing bowls, tuning fork or a nice bell are great sound healing tools. Sound healing allow a single pitch or tone to wash over an area, bringing it into the same vibration as the tone.
