Cleaning and Charging Your Crystals (Metaphysically)

[@JessicaRodriguez-zy5gz]

Amethyst is best to charge by moonlight. It won’t fade 💜

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@9thfaerie]

Be careful with the water on stones like selenite as it is a mineral & this will dissolve it over time

[@rue2090]

thank you! this made it clear for me more. I'll do the sunlight cleanse and charge because it's easier and i just like it xd the store that i bought the crystal already "cleanse" it infront of me in a chinese(?) idk bowl but i still wanna do it again so i can feel more better about it. ❤️ +been really happy and inlove with this crystal hehe maybe the universe gave it to meee ps: w-wait it was programmed at the store 😭 i wanna cleanse but iz oki imma do the thing u should do when i programmed it thanks pps: i think i should still cleanse it and program it afterwards because i don't feel ok with it. clear intentions is not into it,,.,.,

i just got into spirituality & stuff i have an amethyst crystal since i was always attracted to it but i always thought it was just deco so it just sat somewhere for about 4 years? & it has some dirt on it, how do i clean it? can i clean it with a toothbrush & water?

[@fossilcartel]

Yes! Toothbrush and soapy water.

[@tobiasdontmatter1868]

that is satin spar but basically the same as selenite

[@tootienottoofruitie1726]

[@darkshadow7282]

Do crystals have to be programmed for what intensions they are originally associated with? For example, obsidian repels negative entities, do we have to program it as such or no? Same for Black Tourmaline, which absorbs negative energy and gives off positive. Or clear quartz, which helps convert negative energy into positive energy and amplify all energies around it? Would all those have to be programmed into the crystals so they will work like that or do crystals return to their natural programs after cleansing and recharging them? Do those natural programs change with my own programing? So if I program a clear Quartz crystal for protection, will it also work to amplify the energy around me or only work to protect me since that is what programmed it for?

[@fossilcartel]

Sorry we haven't replied sooner. I have to get better at checking the comments! No, you don't have to program a stone for what it does naturally, like any black stone is good for protection, etc. But you can add to it to make it even more powerful by setting your intention in the stone. And whatever you program the stone for will not counter what it does naturally.

[@Harveyymirr]

Hey, im begging with crystals and i have some questions, i want to use sage wands but im afraid that they won’t last long or only last once, i also want to use a selenite stick for cleansing and aslo for myself, but they tell me that a selenite plate is better for cleansing them and i don’t really know which one to buy.... please help💕

[@fossilcartel]

So sorry for the delay, Miranda! I should check the comments more often. Sage bundles last a very long time, so I wouldn't worry about that. You can use a selenite wand. It's fine. It's especially ood if youc an set your stones on top of the wand as well. Hope that helps!

[@benjaminbenjamin1414]

Wow! I never thought of using sage to cleanse my crystals! Just curious though, why does sage cleanse crystals? like, what does it actually do? (I'm new to learning about this so sorry if it's a stupid question)

[@thefossilcartel5044]

No, that's a great question! Here's a great article I just found: www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-burning-sage#purifying

[@gnostaoticanarchangautand]

Basically got purity/light bound up in it and it jacks the negative energy's kneecaps the same way the sun does..

[@Shaina_singh_amrita]

Hi I just purchased Amathyst raw crystal pendant online I cleansed it with salt like i kept it in salt bowl for 5 hours after i picked it up i noticed that the salt was sticking with the crytsal. I rinsed it water thoroughly but i feel that some salt particles have gone inside the corners and edges of crytsal since its raw now I washed it with soapy water and also kept in normal water bowl but those salt particles still seem to be there... 😔 I don't know whether they are actually salt particles or just scratches in the crystal but they appear whitish small dots sort of 🤷‍♀️ Now the first day after rinsing I was feeling headache and Euphoric near the crytsal but the second day when I again washed it withs soap water I dint feel anything near the crytsal I can also feel that its looking little lighter in color than before and also while I am touching it its completely cold !!! What could have happened ? In your opinion ? I am completely lost 😔😔😔 I also kept it in moonlight for 2 hours after rinsing with soap water... Did the crystal catch cold or something ? Is the crystal angry with me for washing it over and over again 🤔🤔🤔 Plz answer I am feeling completely lost and i don't know what should I do.... Thankyou in advance

[@fossilcartel]

The crystal shouldn't have been harmed from soaking it in salt water and setting it out in the moonlight. I think it might be other factors in your life that are contributing to the effects you're feeling.

[@Shaina_singh_amrita]

@@fossilcartel okay but I soaked it in salt first like only salt no water i kept it in bowl and 2 to 3 spoons of salt i put on it kept it for about 4 to 5 hours (30 mins in sun) after that I rinsed it with water and the first day it was all well second day I rinsed with simple water and than charged it in moonlight!

[@fossilcartel]

@@Shaina_singh_amrita it's OK. I just did more research and amethyst is fine to have in contact with salt. I wouldn't put it in sunlight again as it could make the color fade.

[@Shaina_singh_amrita]

@@fossilcartel Ok thankyou so much 🙏🙏

[@scottashley714]

So every time they’re smudged, should I set intentions all over, each day? As I’m crystal charging water for drinking and was told they need cleansing daily?

[@fossilcartel]

That would be ideal, yes!

[@morganking3097]

How do I know how long to leave stones out in the sun if I was to charge/cleanse them that way?

[@fossilcartel]

I'd say an hour would be fine. Be careful not to put light sensitive stones out in the sun for long, like amethyst, fluorite, kunzite, rose quartz, etc.

[@Shaina_singh_amrita]

@@fossilcartel How to charge Amathyst crystal ? I have at present both options i.e Sunlight and moonlight.. Sunlight is very bright and temperature is about 30 + in day time so should I charhe it in sunlight or moonlight?

[@Garrett2012843]

How many times a month should you clean your stones?

[@fossilcartel]

Depends on how often you use them and what kind of energy they're around.

[@geminivargas6477]

does selenite charging plate cleanse crystal intentions?

[@fossilcartel]

No, I believe it only clears negativity.

How about audio cleansing? Is it still works?

Yes, you can use crystal singing bowls or other high vibrational bells or instruments.

Yes! Use your intuition to decide how often. Whatever feels right.

Hi, I found a stone with a with a very dark purple crystal coming out of it. I found it in the wheel well of my truck between the steel chasis and an electric wire hose that runs along side of it. I thought someone put it there. Could it be a good idea to keep it? It's about 1.5 x 3 x 1.5 inches.

Sure! Why not?

[@lizliz2018]

Hi can someone please help me? I bought the “golden triangle” amethyst, rose quartz and rock crystal. I received them yesterday, to cleanse them i put them in Himalaya salt for a couple of hours than with sage and palosanto thab put it again in salt till the next morning. Next day i put them under streaming water for a minute eacht stone. than put them in sunlight to charge. Now when i touch the stones i get a headache, or when im in the bedroom where the stones are i get a headache. Why is this happening?? What should i do?

[@fossilcartel]

I would say put them aside for a couple of weeks. Then when you take them out, just smudge them with Sage It’s possible you over cleaned them. Please let us know if that works.

[@lizliz2018]

@@fossilcartel thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it❤️

[@neopositivity]

If I leave my stones in the Sun too long and they begin to fade, do they lose their benefits? Or do they just look different ?

[@fossilcartel]

Good question. I would guess it would lose a little bit of it's energy because colors also play a role in crystal healing.

[@Luxuriousaddicted]

​@@fossilcartelhi may I know how long we should put under the sun for cleansing and charging? Direct sunlight or shade sunlight is OK too?

[@fossilcartel]

@@Luxuriousaddicted I'd say at least a couple of hours but then again, it might depend on how much energy needs to be cleansed from the crystal. Try to use your intuition. Amd remember not to put the crystals in the sun that will fade. Full sun is best, but not 100% necessary.

[@Luxuriousaddicted]

@@fossilcartel may I know is there any specific rules regarding where should we put our crystals at home, bedroom or office and table etc?

[@fossilcartel]

@@Luxuriousaddicted no. But I encourage you to think about the Feng Sui of your house and put some stones where there may be some stagnation of energy.

[@alexsucc4446]

I’m new to this but while doing research I heard of u put ur crystals in a natural material when u put them in salt so it doesn’t ruin it, it still cleanses ? I’m just wondering if anyone knows about this

[@fossilcartel]

Yes, I believe it will still clean your crystals!

[@sunnyshine2215]

I have 6 stones I have programmed which I carry with me most days, can these be charged on a selenite plate? Or would they lose the intention placed within them?

[@fossilcartel]

Good question! Not sure. I would reprogram them to be safe.

[@alyssabate2409]

does the crystals have to go on top of the selenite because I have selenite but it's not big enough to put the crystals on it?

[@fossilcartel]

Ideally, but if you keep it near them it will have a little bit of a clearing effect.

@@fossilcartel Ill just keep them there longer to cleanse :)

[@joanexoxo]

Hi how long can you leave a rose quartz under the sun? Thank you. 😁

[@cassidytemple1855]

If you know so much about this stuff why are you using a lighter to light your sage your only suppose to use matches cuz the lighter fluids have chemicals in it that is given off when you you light the lighter. Matches is the only thing out suppose to use to light your sage unless its just plan flint and steel

[@fossilcartel]

Huh! I was never taught that but it makes sense. Thanks for the tip!

[@phantom3048]

I may have to correct you hear. Matches contain either white phosphorus, phosphorus sesquisulfide , sulfur, or antimony sulfide in order to ignite. All of this chemicals contain either phosphorus [P] or sulfur [S] which are chemical elements. Cause chemical elements don't change during a chemical reaction they (they only bind with other chemical elements) you will always end up with other chemicals with the ingredients sulfur or phosphorus. In contrast to this "lighter fluid" refers to butan which only consists of hydrogen [H] and carbon [C] which react with the oxigen [O] in the air to form water [H2O] and carbon dioxide [CO2]. Both water and carbon dioxide are components of the air anyways. If anything is unclear or needs further explanation feel free to ask.

[@fossilcartel]

@@phantom3048 thank you! This is great info. I was thinking that after I commented on Cassidy's comment- that matches have chemicals, too.
