CARE GUIDE

Caring for Your Crystal Treasures

Your crystals are not only beautiful adornments but also hold unique energies that can enhance your well-being. Proper care will help maintain their physical beauty and protect their vibrant, natural state. Here's how to keep your crystal treasures shining:

1. Regularly Cleanse Your Crystals:

Just like us, crystals can absorb energy from their surroundings and benefit from regular cleansing. We recommend cleansing your crystals at least once a month to refresh their energy. The full moon is a particularly potent time for cleansing, and setting a monthly reminder around this lunar phase can make it a mindful practice.

When else should you cleanse your crystals?

  • Upon Arrival: When you first bring a new crystal home, cleanse it to remove any energies it may have absorbed during its journey to you.
  • After Heavy Use: If you've been wearing your crystal jewelry frequently or using a crystal for intense energy work, a cleanse will help restore its balance.
  • When Feeling "Off": If you feel your crystal's energy has become dull or heavy, it's a good sign it needs cleansing.

Gentle Cleansing Methods:

  • Moonlight Bath: Place your crystals under the light of the full moon overnight. The moon's gentle energy will naturally cleanse and recharge them.
  • Sunlight Bath (Use with Caution): Some crystals (like Clear Quartz) benefit from a short period of sunlight, but prolonged exposure can fade the color of others (like Amethyst or Rose Quartz). Be mindful of your crystal type.
  • Running Water: Hold your crystal under cool, running water (tap or natural spring water) for a few minutes, visualizing any negative energy washing away. Ensure the crystal is water-safe.
  • Smudging: Gently pass your crystal through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or incense.
  • Sound Cleansing: The vibrations of singing bowls, tuning forks, or even your own voice can help to clear stagnant energy.
  • Burying in Earth: If appropriate, you can bury your crystal in the earth overnight to ground and cleanse it.

2. Store Your Crystals with Care:

Proper storage is essential to prevent physical damage and maintain your crystals' energetic integrity.

  • Individual Wrapping: Ideally, store each crystal piece individually wrapped in a soft cloth (like velvet or cotton) or within its own pouch. This prevents scratching from other jewelry and helps to preserve their unique vibrational energies.
  • Separate Compartments: If using a jewelry box, ensure crystals are placed in separate compartments to avoid friction and potential damage.
  • Avoid Harsh Environments: Keep your crystals away from extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals (like cleaning products or perfumes), and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight (for color-sensitive crystals).

3. Displaying Your Crystal Beauty:

If you choose to display your crystals, regular dusting will keep them looking their best and allow their light to shine.

  • Gentle Dusting: Use a soft microfiber or cotton cloth to dust your crystals. A feather-style duster can also be effective for intricate pieces.
  • Avoid Abrasive Materials: Never use harsh or abrasive cloths or cleaning solutions, as these can scratch or damage the surface of your crystals.
  • Handle with Care: When handling your crystals for dusting or rearranging, always do so gently to avoid accidental drops or impacts.
