FAQs

What is the best way to clean my crystals?
Cleaning your crystals can be done using various methods such as rinsing them under running water, smudging with sage, or using sound vibrations from singing bowls. Choose a method based on the type of crystal and its specific properties.

How often should I charge my crystals?
You should charge your crystals regularly, ideally once a month or after significant energy work. You can use sunlight, moonlight, or a grounding crystal to amplify their energy.

Can I use the same cleansing method for all crystal types?

Should I store my crystals in direct sunlight?
It’s generally best to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as it can fade certain crystals. Instead, consider a cool, dark place for storage to keep their colors vibrant and energy intact.

Is it necessary to program my crystals?
Programming your crystals is not necessary, but it can enhance their effectiveness. To program a crystal, hold it in your hand, state your intention clearly, and visualize the energy flow. This helps align the crystal’s energies with your personal goals.

Trust your intuition when selecting crystals. You may feel drawn to certain crystals or notice specific vibrations. Consider the properties of the crystal and how they resonate with your needs.

Can I mix different types of crystals together?
