Care of the Stones

Cleaning: Clean with pure water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid pulling on necklaces and damaging the stringing material, whether silk or coated steel threads.

Recharging/Rebalancing: Cleaning the stones first is very important. Regular recharging keeps them working effectively for you.

After a lot of use or after being in highly charged environments, especially stressful or negative ones, the stones need the rebalancing. You can use water, other quartz crystals, the sun and moon as well as the earth itself to recharge the stones.

Cover translucent stones in a white cotton handkerchief or cloth and leave them outdoors in the sun for a day. Some stones, such as amethyst, will fade in direct sunlight, so the cloth is important.

Blue and green, translucent and opaque stones will recover their charge in moonlight, especially full moon.

Opaque stones can also be recharged by contact with earth by wrapping them in cotton fabric and burying them overnight in a garden or pot of soil.

Quartz crystals with recharge all stones when the stones are place on or near them.

Energetic gongs, such a Tibetan ting sha, will clear the energy field, reactivate the mineral forces and revive the stone. Sound vibrations also clear the stones.
