How to Clean, Charge & Care for Natural Healing Crystals

Proper care preserves the brilliant polish, structural integrity, and natural beauty of your crystal collection.

Physical Cleaning: Gentle Microfiber & Water Guidelines

Hard quartz minerals like Agate, Jasper, and Amethyst (Mohs 7) can be rinsed under lukewarm tap water with mild organic soap and dried with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical solvents, bleach, or ultrasonic cleaners on porous minerals or wire-bound trees.

Sound Frequency & Lunar Charging Methods

Expose crystals to full moonlight on natural wooden or linen trays to restore their luminous optical clarity. Singing bowls, tuning forks, and sacred sound vibrations are safe universal clearing methods for all mineral types.
