Crystal Cleaning Guide

As each Crystal is individual, cleansing depends on their form. Ones like Selenite & Desert Rose Gypsum are too delicate to wash. Malachite, Kyanite & Lapis Lazuli do not need cleaning - they can be used to clean other ones! . General Rule: Cleanse in sea salt water & dry in the sunlight | Full Moon. They can also be buried in the ground for 24 hours. Check you specific Crystals before cleansing them.

How to use Crystals

It can be good to keep the ones you are drawn to with you that day, either on your person or in a bag/jacket. Under your pillow is another good place & somewhere where you will see them frequently. Once Cleansed they work for you, no matter where they are. 

Crystal NOT to Cleanse with water 

Amber, Angelite, Azurite, Calcite (all), Fire Opal, Imperial Topaz, Kyanite, Kunzite, Malachite, Moonstone, Opal, Red Coral, Selenite.

N:B Citrine, Kyanite & Azeztulite are self-cleaning
