How to Cleanse Your Crystals – The Right Way for Every Type & Form

At Cristy Crystals, we believe every crystal holds energy—and just like us, they need cleansing to stay refreshed and aligned with your intention. Whether it’s your rose quartz bracelet, an amethyst tumbler, or a selenite wand, each piece deserves its own cleansing ritual based on its type and form.

Let’s dive into how you can properly cleanse your crystals, the safe way 🌙

🌿 Why Do You Need to Cleanse Crystals?

Crystals absorb energy from people and environments. When you wear, touch, or even store your crystal accessories, they interact with your surroundings—both positive and negative. Cleansing resets their vibration and enhances their healing properties.

🔮 General Cleansing Methods

Here are popular ways to cleanse crystals:

Running Water (natural streams or tap water)
Salt Bath (Himalayan salt or sea salt)
Smoke Cleansing (Palo Santo or sage)
Moonlight (especially full moon)
Selenite Plate or Bowl (safe and gentle)
Sound Bath (singing bowl or tuning fork)
Crystal Charging Mat or Grid

But not all crystals or forms can tolerate these methods. Here’s how to choose safely 👇

🧿 Cleansing by Crystal Form

2. Crystal Gua Sha / Facial Tools

Avoid: Salt or smoke (may damage polish)
💡 Tip: Clean with gentle soap only if needed, followed by spiritual cleansing.

3. Crystal Tumblers (for water)

Best for: Sound bath, moonlight, selenite plate
Avoid: Any salt or smoke near your drinkware
💡 Tip: If tumbler includes soft stones (like fluorite), avoid adding hot water.

4. Raw Stones

Best for: Smoke cleansing, salt bowls, moonlight
Avoid: Depends on type—some raw stones are water-sensitive
💡 Tip: Place on a selenite slab to charge safely overnight.

5. Phone Charms / Keychains

Best for: Sound bath, moonlight, selenite
Avoid: Running water (metal and cords may rust or fray)
💡 Tip: Use gentle mist spray (with essential oil) for aura refreshment—don’t soak.

🌕 Best Time to Cleanse
