✨ Care instructions for crystals – How to clean and protect your favorite stones

Crystals and minerals are not only beautiful gifts from nature—they are also valued as energetic companions. To ensure your stones can develop their full power, careful care is especially important.

In this article, we will show you how to clean, charge, and protect your crystals so that you can enjoy them for a long time.

🧼 1. Cleansing – energetic and physical

Crystals can absorb energetic information from their surroundings. Therefore, it is beneficial to cleanse them regularly—both physically (e.g., from dust) and energetically .

💨 Methods for energetic cleansing:

Smoking with white sage, Palo Santo or frankincense
Sound cleansing with singing bowl or tuning fork
Water purification (only for waterproof stones! – be careful with selenite, pyrite, malachite, etc.)
Hematite tumbled stones – add your crystals overnight

💡 Tip: Check beforehand whether your stone is water-resistant. Some can be damaged by water or contain metals.

🔋 2. Recharge – give new energy

After cleansing, you can recharge your stone with new energy. Use:

Moonlight – especially during the full moon, gentle & powerful
Sunlight – for active, sunny stones such as citrine or carnelian (not for delicate stones such as amethyst or fluorite – they can fade)
Rock crystal or selenite plates – as a natural charging station

💎 3. Storage – conscious & protected

Protect your crystals from direct sunlight, moisture, and harsh impacts. Ideally, these are:

crystal bowls
velvet bag
wooden box
Altar places or small shelves

💡 Extra tip: Keep stones with similar energy together or give them space individually – depending on your wishes and feelings.

📿 4. Personal interaction – your energy counts

Intuition comes first – feel when your crystal needs attention
Respect the stone – careful handling has a strengthening effect
Use rituals or affirmations when you hold your crystal

❗ Safety & Notes

Crystals are natural products – they can be sensitive
They are not a substitute for medical or psychological advice
Keep small stones out of reach of children
