Crystal Care Instructions
At Raw Spiritual, we want you to enjoy the beauty and energy of your crystals and jewelry for a long time. By following these care instructions, you can keep your items looking their best and maintain their energetic properties. Please read and follow these guidelines to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your precious pieces.
Handling and Storage:
- Handle your crystals and jewelry with clean hands to prevent transferring oils or dirt.
- Avoid dropping or knocking your crystals or jewelry against hard surfaces, as this can cause damage.
- Store your crystals and jewelry separately to prevent scratching or tangling.
Cleaning Crystals:
- Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth to gently wipe your crystals and remove any dirt or fingerprints.
- If your crystals require a deeper clean, you can rinse them with lukewarm water and mild soap. However, check if the specific crystal is water-safe before doing so.
- For delicate or porous crystals, such as Selenite or Malachite, avoid immersing them in water. Instead, use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean them.
- After cleaning, pat your crystals dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning Jewelry:
- Use a jewelry polishing cloth to gently clean your jewelry and restore its shine.
- Avoid exposing your jewelry to chemicals, such as perfumes, lotions, or hairsprays, as they can tarnish or damage the metal components.
- Remove your jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that may expose it to excessive moisture or impact.
- Store your jewelry in a dry, tarnish-resistant container or jewelry box when not in use.
Crystal Energetic Cleansing:
- Crystals absorb and store energy, so regular energetic cleansing is essential to maintain their optimal energetic properties.
- Several methods can be used to cleanse crystals, such as:
- Sunlight: Place your crystals in a spot where they can soak up the energy of the sun for a few hours. However, be cautious, as some crystals may fade or be damaged by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Moonlight: Leave your crystals under the light of the full moon overnight to cleanse and recharge them.
- Smudging: Pass your crystals through the smoke of sacred herbs, such as sage or palo santo, to remove negative energy.
- Sound Cleansing: Use sound vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks to cleanse your crystals.
- Earth: Bury your crystals in the soil for a short period, allowing them to reconnect with the earth's natural energy. Ensure that you remember where you buried them!
Charging and Recharging:
- After cleansing, it's important to charge or recharge your crystals to restore their energy.
- You can charge your crystals by placing them on a Selenite charging plate or near a large Amethyst or Quartz cluster for several hours.
- Crystals can be programmed with specific intentions or purposes to enhance their energetic effects.
- Hold the crystal in your hand, close your eyes, and concentrate on your intention or desired outcome. Visualize the crystal amplifying and manifesting your intention.
- State your intention aloud or silently, allowing the crystal to absorb and amplify the energy of your intention.
