“Tips for Properly Cleansing Crystals and Gems. Crystals and gemstones look nice when set on shelves or displayed, but in order to get the most benefits out of them, they must be incorporated into a ritual, practice, or treatment. And because they absorb the energy around them, it’s important to not only keep them clean and hygienic, but to actually cleanse them of prior vibes. Andrea Barone, CEO and founder of Crystal Hills Organics, provides these energy-cleansing tips for your spa’s crystals and gemstones.
Tuning Fork: Harmonize your crystals with the resonance of a tuning fork, bell, or singing bowl. Strike the tuning fork on a solid object (not the crystal) to produce sound and pass it over the crystal in a clockwise rotation several times.
Flame Source: Light a candle and pass the crystal above the flame for a few minutes or until you sense the crystal is cleansed. Some people incorporate intention-setting during the process.
Sea Salt: Immerse the crystals in sea salt or Himalayan salt for 24 hours and then discard the salt, as it absorbs negative energies. Exercise caution with stones like pyrite, lapis lazuli, opal, and hematite, as they should be kept away from salt.
Brown Rice: Submerge the crystals in raw brown rice and leave them there for 24 hours. Dispose of the rice afterward, as it will have absorbed negative and unwanted energies . . . ” ~ American Spa Magazine
