Crystal Care Guide
Learn how to properly care for, cleanse and store your crystals to maintain their energy and beauty.
▍Crystal Cleansing Methods
Regular cleansing keeps your crystals vibrating at their highest frequency.
1. Sunlight Cleansing
Place your crystal near a sunlit window or balcony for 30 minutes to 1 hour, preferably before 1 PM.
Suitable for: Most crystals, but avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
⚠ Note: Rose quartz, amethyst, citrine, topaz, zircon and amber may fade with prolonged sun exposure. Keep these away from direct sunlight.
2. Moonlight Cleansing
The best time is during a full moon or new moon, or a few days before/after. Leave your crystals out overnight.
Suitable for: All crystals. Especially recommended for moonstone, labradorite, rose quartz and garnet — moonlight enhances their gentle, intuitive energy.
3. Running Water Cleansing
Rinse your crystal under filtered running water for 1–3 minutes to wash away dust and oil. Wipe dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Suitable for: Most hard crystals. Always dry thoroughly after rinsing.
⚠ Note: Crystals with natural fissures or soft structures — such as malachite, calcite, celestite, rhodochrosite, lapis lazuli, fluorite, turquoise, coral, pearl and tourmaline — should avoid prolonged contact with water. If cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Sound cleansing is a great alternative for these stones.
▍Precautions
- Avoid chemicals: Keep crystals away from perfume, cosmetics, cleaning agents and disinfectants — these can damage the surface or structure.
- Avoid high heat and direct sunlight: Crystals like amethyst and rose quartz are sensitive to heat and light. Prolonged exposure may cause fading or alteration.
- Avoid bumps and scratches: Store crystals separately to prevent friction or impact with harder objects.
- Remove before bathing or swimming: Soap, shampoo and pool chlorine can harm your crystals. Take them off before showering or swimming.
- Remove before sleeping: Movement and friction with bedding may damage crystals. It's best to take them off before bed.
- Clean regularly: Gently wipe with a soft cloth or use a mild cleanser, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
▍Storage
- Store crystals in a soft pouch or box, away from hard objects.
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
▍Summary
The key to crystal care is keeping them clean, protecting them from damage, and cleansing them regularly to maintain their optimal energy. Treat your crystals with the same gentle care you would give a cherished friend.
