Crystals pick up the mood of the spaces they live in, many practitioners say, so giving them a little refresh now and then is a lovely ritual. Here are simple ways to cleanse and charge your stones without smoke.
Moonlight
Set your crystals on a windowsill overnight, especially around the full moon. Moonlight is gentle and safe for nearly every stone.
Selenite
Rest smaller stones and jewelry on a selenite plate or in a selenite bowl for a few hours. Learn more in our selenite guide.
Sound
Ring a singing bowl or a bell near your crystals and let the tone wash over them. Our singing bowl guide shows you how.
Intention
Hold a stone, breathe slowly, and picture it filled with bright light. Then set a fresh intention for it, such as calm, focus or kindness.
A note on water and sun
Some stones, like selenite, do not like water, and some colored stones, like amethyst and rose quartz, can fade in strong sun. When in doubt, choose moonlight or sound. Check our water safe crystals guide before rinsing anything.
