Caring for Your Crystals is a Crucial Part of Crystal Care!

Crystals are not just beautiful pieces in your jewelry collection or in your home or space; they are also powerful tools for healing, manifestation, and spiritual growth. 

Whether you're a seasoned crystal enthusiast, crystal curious or just starting your journey with these magical stones, knowing how to care for them is essential to maintain their energy and effectiveness. 

We’ve created a expanded guide, inspired by our How to Clear & Recharge Crystals card that we provide with each crystal purchase!

Our intention is for you to be able to use this blog as a reminder or foundational start in your crystal journey. 

These are essential tips for clearing, recharging, and caring for your crystals to keep your crystals vibrant and energized for years to come.

Crystal Care:

Before diving into the specifics of crystal care, it's important to understand why it's necessary. 

Crystals can absorb energy from their surroundings, as well as the energy of those holding, wearing, or using them.

Over time, this can affect your crystals' vibrational frequency and potency of how your experience them. 

By caring for your crystals, you can ensure they remain clear, charged, and ready to support your intentions and growth!

Clearing & Recharging Your Crystals:

One of the most important steps in crystal care is clearing and recharging your crystals.

Often referred to as cleansing, this act removes any accumulated negative energies and resets the crystal's energy to its natural state.

We encourage you to listen to your intuition and do what feels right when it comes to how you clear and recharge your crystals, as well as the frequency of this step. 

We personally believe it’s important to clear and recharge your crystals regularly to enhance and amplify their energies. 

There are several methods you can use to clear and recharge your crystals, including:

• Full Moon: Place your crystals outside under the energy of a full moon, overnight, to harness the full moon’s energy into your crystals. (We do not recommend recharging or clearing your crystals during eclipse periods).

• Sage & Incense: Pass your crystals through the smoke of herbs such as Sage or Incense sticks to purify them energetically. Check out our Blue Sage bundles to help you with this!

• Selenite: Place your crystals on Selenite, like a Selenite charging plate, or Selenite wand, next to a Selenite Tower or Selenite Sphere, overnight to cleanse and charge them simultaneously. Click here to see our selection of Selenite crystals. 

• Sound vibrations: Use a singing bowl or tuning fork to create sound vibrations that resonate with your crystals is known to clear and recharge them.

• Running water: Hold your crystals under cool, running water for a few minutes, visualizing the negative energies washing away. (We do not recommend you do this with Selenite as it can dissolve).

• Sunlight or moonlight: Place your crystals in direct sunlight or moonlight for several hours to recharge and cleanse them with the energy of the sun or moon. (Be aware some crystals can fade in their coloring from direct sunlight. Do this at your discretion).

 

How We Keep Our Crystals Clear and Recharged?

When we receive crystals from our suppliers, we leave them at a minimum overnight with Selenite to clear any energies that may have been absorbed in the shipping process.

In cases when crystals needs to be cleaned, we use rain water to wash and scrub them. 

During our market season, we clear and recharge our crystals after each pop-up and during the time they are not at events too.

We do this with both Selenite and Blue Sage. 

We intentionally include a piece of raw Selenite in every box when we transport the crystal to and from markets, fairs, festivals and pop-up events. 

Additionally, while our crystals are waiting to be shipped to you, we place raw Selenite Wands in each container, bin and organizer to ensure their energy is continuously kept clear. 

Crystal Maintenance: 

In addition to cleansing and recharging, regular maintenance plays a crucial role in caring for your crystals. 

Here are some tips for ongoing crystal care:

• Store them properly: Keep your crystals in a safe and energetically clean environment. Consider a dedicated crystal pouch or box. However, we believe your crystals should be enjoyed and seen regularly. In this case consider placing them on/near Selenite.

• Avoid direct sunlight: Some crystals, such as amethyst and citrine, can fade in direct sunlight, so place them away from windows or use UV-protective glass when possible. 

• Use your crystals intentionally: Work with your crystals regularly by meditating with them, carrying them with you in your purse, pocket, or bra, wear them, and/or placing them in your home, car or workspace.

• Clear & Recharge after use: After using your crystals for healing or manifestation work, remember to cleanse and recharge them to remove any absorbed energies.

Final Thoughts:

By following these essential tips for crystal care, your crystals remain vibrant, energized, and ready to support you as long as you need them on your journey. 

At Crystals & Clarity, we understand the importance of proper crystal care, which is why it starts with conscientiously sourcing and energetically recharging all of our crystals before you experience them.
