Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean crystals?

Working with crystals can cause

them to get sticky. One of the

simplest ways to clean quartz crystal

is with lukewarm water (room

temperature) and a mild soap. Stay

away from strong chemicals and quick changes of temperature. If a crystal is cold when

you wash it, stay with cooler lukewarm water. If the crystal is warm from working with it, use warm

lukewarm water. Stay away from hot water or cold water. How do I clear crystals?

Crystals hold and store information, thoughts and feelings. To clear crystals of the programs you

place in them requires focused intent, desire, imagination and a bit of technique:

Breath of Clarity: One hand holds the top and base of the crystal with index finger and thumb.

The other hand holds opposing sides (there are three pairs of sides with quartz crystal) with index

finger and thumb. Fix an image of clarity whatever that means for you, in your mind. Flowing water,

white light, blue light, clear light... you’re giving your subconscious mind the image it understands to

represent clarity. Inhale deeply as you hold that image, then squeeze the sides of the crystal as you

sharply exhale that image into the crystal. Rotating to the next pair of sides, repeat the breath until

all three pairs of sides have had the Breath of Clarity.

Note: One clears a crystal when it is “sticky” on the inside. A crystal is cleaned when it is “sticky”

on the outside.

If a crystal has broken, sometimes

it can be glued together without

interrupting the energy flow. Ask

your crystal if it wants to be

repaired before you just jump in

and fix things. Sometimes it has

its own reasons for fracturing. Crystals need to be periodically

cleared from the work of

transmuting and transforming

energy. Being quite ageless

compared to humans, some of the

need for that clearing may come

from another time/ space.

Some crystals dissolve in water or

can be damaged by prolonged

submersion. Halite and Selenite

are some of those kinds of

crystals.

Some crystals should not be placed in water.
