Are you new to working with crystals? Maybe you tried cleansing your Selenite in water only to see it has dissolved.
Or maybe you placed your favourite deep, dark Amethyst crystal in the windowsill and later discovered that it had faded.
I’ve tried out all sorts of techniques when it comes to recharging the crystals and after lot of trial and error, I have realized that we need to be mindful of what process we are following to maintain the longevity of healing stones.
Read on to find out how to best care for your crystals.
Exposure to Sunlight: –
Crystals fade when we leave them out on the sun for longer periods as extreme temperature changes are harmful to our crystals. Crystals like Fluorite, Celestite, Smoky Quartz and more will begin to lose their colour if kept in the sunlight for too long.
Dipping them in Salt Water:-
Immersing the crystals in salt water will damage the crystals as it will make them brittle and weak overtime. I advise my clients to use an indirect method of salt cleansing, wherein you put the crystal in a glass container, and then put that container in a dish full of salt, instead of immersing the actual crystal in salt. This way the salt draws the negative energy out of the crystals without damaging them.
Carrying or Rough handling
Crystals like Selenite, Turquoise, Malachite etc… are delicate and they scratch or break easily. While some are fragile and shatter into pieces. Stay mindful and wrap them securely when you are carrying them.
Creating Crystal Elixirs
Be careful some crystals are not safe when added to drinking water. Many stones can corrode, rust, or dissolve in water which make them unfit for human consumption. Using an indirect method by placing the crystals in a glass container or cup. Then, set the container in a bowl of water. Let it infuse. This is a safe way to charge the water with crystal energy.
Not recharging them at all
When crystals are not recharged after specific days, they tend to accumulate a lot of dust and unwanted energies which leads them ultimately to beak or shatter. Clearing is not a process of removing negativity from a crystal. It is a process of returning the crystal to its natural base resonant frequency, to ensure it is able to take in as much energy through the Earth’s EMF as it is used to doing.
Adding them in bathwater
Some crystals are water soluble, which means they will degrade or react with the water, while other might break all together when adding them to your bathwater. So, research well before placing them in bath water.
Using them on pets and children
Their Some crystals that emit higher frequencies and have strong energy fields which are not safe to be used on pets and children. Therefore, it is advisable to use crystals with gentle frequencies which can help in their safe and quick recovery.
