7 ways to cleanse & charge gemstones

There are several ways to charge your gemstones. The full moon is the best-known of these. But there are several ways; read below to find out which ones. You can do your own research or cleanse by intuition; read more about this in our previous blog about gemstones. 

Salt; Treating crystals with salt.

Smoke; Cleanse the energy of the gemstones with the smoke of dried herbs or sacred wood. 

Water; Place the gemstone in a glass or bowl and leave it under a running tap for a few minutes. 

Rainwater; Place your gemstones on a dish outside when it rains, then pat them dry thoroughly. You can also collect rainwater and immerse them indoors. 

Moonlight; The vibration of the moon is a powerful way to cleanse and charge your gemstones. The feminine energy of the moon is so gentle that you can use this method for any gemstone. Give your gemstones a moon bath by placing them outside in a dish, on a table, or on the windowsill at sunset. This method works especially well during a full moon and a new moon.

Sunlight; You can also cleanse in the masculine power of sunlight. Place the gemstones outside or on the windowsill when the sun rises, and only remove them when the sun sets in the evening. Warning! This method is not suitable for all gemstones; research this thoroughly first. 

Earth; Letting gemstones charge in the earth is an eco-friendly method, especially for gemstones with grounding properties. Simply place your gemstones in the garden, under the soil, and leave them there overnight.
