How to cleanse crystals (simple)
Educational only • My opinion • Not medical advice.
Quick answer
The safest beginner choices are moonlight, sound, and a soft cloth. Water is not safe for every crystal.
Simple methods
- Moonlight: place near a window overnight.
- Sound: bell or singing bowl for 30–60 seconds.
- Smoke: pass through incense or sage smoke for 10–30 seconds.
- Cloth: wipe gently (good for fragile stones).
Water warning
If you are not sure, skip water.
Some crystals can dissolve, crack, or rust. Dry methods are simpler and safer.
When people cleanse
