Cleaning crystals is important to remove accumulated energies and keep them energetically pure. Here are a few methods:
1. **Water:** Rinse your crystals under running water to clear away negative energy. Some crystals can be submerged, but others, like selenite, should avoid contact with water.
2. **Saltwater Soak:** Soak crystals in a bowl of water mixed with sea salt. Make sure the crystals are safe to be submerged, as some can be damaged by salt.
3. **Sunlight/Moonlight:** Place your crystals in direct sunlight for a few hours or under the light of a full moon overnight. This can help recharge and cleanse them.
4. **Smudging:** Pass your crystals through the smoke of sacred herbs like sage or palo santo. The smoke can purify and reset their energy.
5. **Selenite:** Selenite is a self-cleansing crystal. You can place other crystals on or near a selenite charging plate to cleanse them.
Always check if a specific crystal is sensitive to water or sunlight before using these methods. Intention and focus on cleansing are also important during the process.
