I have been asked the best ways to cleanse our stones and
jewellery.
The most popular way of cleansing and recharging our stones
is in the light of the full moon (or by sunlight). Some choose to place their stones and
jewellery outside on the ground. Setting
them outside you take the change of their getting wet especially at this time
of year with the heavy dew if you are utilizing the moon. Most stones do not mind getting wet but there
are some that this is not suggested.
Selenite (including Dessert Rose), Halite, and Himalayan
salt will dissolve if they get wet.
Needless to say, it is important that you can identify your
stone types.
Some articles warn that certain stones can be damaged if
they get wet such as Angelite, Calcite, Celestite, Lepidolite, Mica, Muscovite,
Opal, and Pearls, to name a few.
Some stones such as Hematite can rust and some such as
Pyrite can give off sulfuric acid if they get wet.
A good rule of thumb, when in doubt, keep them inside on the
windowsill if using sun or moon energies for cleansing. Remember that some stones such as Aquamarine,
Rose Quartz, Beryl, Citrine, Kunzite, Aventurine, Sapphires, Fluorite, Rose and
Smokey Quartz, Amethyst, etc. will fade in direct sunlight.
For those stones that you know are safe with water,
particularly for those of us that incorporate our stones in healing, running water
is a quick and effective alternative.
If you are uncertain of the safety of water, smudging and
reiki cleansing are also great alternatives.
Also, Selenite can be used to cleanse other stones.
There are a few stones that do not require cleansing such as
Sacred Seven, Kyanite, Selenite, Citrine, and Azeztulite as they do not absorb
energy. However, if you feel they need cleansing, go with your gut.
Some stones such as malachite should be cleansed after every
use or after each time they have been worn if they are part of your jewellery.
Remember if you are cleansing stones that have been created
into jewellery, consider the metals used in the creation. Choose a cleansing method that will work for the
stone but will not harm the metal.
