How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals: 7 Easy Methods

Crystals absorb and work with energy, so cleansing them regularly keeps them feeling fresh and effective — especially after travel, heavy use, or a stressful week. Here are seven simple, safe ways to reset your stones.

7 gentle cleansing methods

1. Moonlight — leave your crystals out overnight under a full moon.
2. Selenite — rest stones on a selenite plate; it's self-cleansing and recharges others.
3. Sound — a singing bowl or bell clears energy through vibration.
4. Smoke — pass stones through sage or palo santo smoke.
5. Earth — bury them in soil for a day to ground heavy energy.
6. Clear Quartz — clear quartz amplifies and refreshes nearby crystals.
7. Intention — hold the stone and visualise light washing it clean.

A quick word of caution

Avoid water and salt for soft or metal-set pieces — stones like selenite dissolve, and water can damage 925 silver jewellery. When in doubt, stick to moonlight or selenite.
