Are there any particular ways to wash your crystals and stones? I would like to wash mine but I don't want to risk ruining any of them.

Re: Washing Crystals and Stones?
You can run water over them alternating between cold and hot. You can plant bathe by sticking them in branches, leaves, or on the dirt by any plant life. You can salt rinse by pouring a half inch of salt into a bowl and stick them in there. You can also sun and moon bathe them. I think you can even run them through incense smoke.
But note, some can't be in water and some are advised not to be left out in the sun.
I can look later and post more specifics.

Re: Washing Crystals and Stones?
My great-grandmother always told me to run my quartz point under cold water at least once a week and envision all the bad energies and gunk rinsing off/out and down the drain. I guess that must be a good method-- she's a certified Reiki healer.

Beware of using hot water. I had a celestite crack in hot water. Cool or Luke warm is safe. Do NOT expose selenite to water as it erodes, and angelite will fade if left sitting in water. so will turquoise or any of the chalk base stones. they can take a quick dip.

I'm very glad that you said that! I got a very beautiful celestite somewhat recently, and I would be pretty upset if it were to crack. Thank you!SpiritTalker wrote:Beware of using hot water.

Re: Washing Crystals and Stones?
Yeah, our crystals were formed in extreme heat, but once they cooled, their chemical structure changed into the beautiful stones we cherish. And now they live in the cooler temps. I was devastated when my celestite crackled all the way through what had been a clear cluster. It didn't break, but well...sigh. Live & learn.
