Our 5 Top ways to Cleanse your Crystals

Cleanse, Balance and recharge your Crystals Energy

Cleansing your crystals is very important and a way of ensuring that they are always positive and working to their fullest healing potential.
​There are some crystals that are self cleansing and so it is not necessary to cleanse these crystals.
There are also crystals that need great care when being cleansed, they are too porous and so can not get wet.

​Crystals act like a sponge absorbing negative energy and offering a positive exchange.
​Like a sponge can only absorb so much water, a crystal can only absorb so much negativity before its balanced positive energy is compromised. It is therefore really important to ensure your crystals stay cleansed to allow them to work positively and to there full healing potential.
There are many ways to Cleanse your Crystals, below we have listed some of our preferred ways of cleansing.
