Regardless of what the gem is used for (for medicinal, magical purposes or as decoration), you need to look after it and sometimes clean it. When you bought a stone, it must be cleaned. Hold it for several minutes under running water. It is better, of course, if possible - to use spring water.

Minerals that belong to the group of quartz can be put in a glass bowl with water and keep the night in the freezer. You can make stones and articles from them in a vessel with water. Water, freezing, will remove the dirty information from the stone, and it will be cleansed. Thus you can clean and stones that you used to wear, and new ones - bought or donated.

In the same way, not only the newly acquired stones are cleared, but also those that you already have. Do this at least once a year, and the stones of health are cleared once a month on the waning moon.

The general rule of cleaning stones is this: all stones are always best cleaned on the last three days of the lunar month (28, 29, 30) - before the new moon. At full moon, stones accumulate energy and after cleaning they must have time to restore their own energy.

Tourmaline.

For storing stones, it is best to use pouches for each stone separately. The pouch must be silk or cotton, it can be linen. In such packaging gems can be stored in one box or box.

It is possible to single out such methods of cleaning and updating natural stones (it is necessary to specify - not all methods are suitable for certain minerals). Precious stones are different in their properties and require an individual approach to cleaning. If it is appropriate for some to use a soapy solution, then for others it can be disastrous. Improper cleaning can ruin your favorite decoration.

Cleaning with water - the stone is kept under running water (from the tap) for several hours. It is better to put in a bag and - in the spring, tie a bag so that it does not take away. Or just pour spring water into a glass and put a stone there.
Cleaning by the sun - a stone beforehand to wash it with water and to put on a bright sun for 30 minutes. This is the purification and the charging of the stone.
Cleaning salt - stone bury in salt for 3-4 hours, then discard the salt.
Cleaning brine with water - lower the stones in salted water, poured into crystal dishes. You can and in the other dishes, of course.
Cleaning with soapy water - prepare a soapy warm solution, pour it into porcelain or crystal dishes, and soak the stones in the sun for about two hours,
Cleaning the ground - bury the stones (it's about cleaning precious stones) in the ground at night.
Cleaning with natural sea water - wash the crystals with sea water, leave it for 3 hours.

All stones from time to time useful to spread out for several hours or days in the sunlight. Especially this applies to those stones that you constantly wear. But - be careful - some stones in the sun change or lose color.

You can at least every day just rinse the thing with water - the stone will only be better.

If the stone hardness index is higher than 5 ( sapphire, emerald, diamond, topaz, ruby, aquamarine, quartz, ordinary beryl), it is allowed to clean in the solution of any detergent, using a brush. Exceptions will be jewelry, which uses a soft metal, for example, silver. Gems framed in gold or platinum, such cleaning will be well received. After cleaning, rinse the rest of the solution with distilled water.

To clean the stones, a solution consisting of 120 g of baking soda, 30 g of table salt and 50 g of bleach, dissolved in 0.5 l of water, is suitable.

Precious stones are often very fragile and can easily crack if mistreated. Especially this applies to those stones that have inclusions. So if you want to clean the chrysolite or emerald yourself, be very careful! Wrong movement - and a piece can break away from the stone.

Precious stones with a hardness index below 5 should be washed in a softer environment, they are suitable for example soapy solution. These stones include - apatite, ruby, opal, sunflower, moonstone, chrysolite, lapis lazuli, malachite.

Ruby, alexandrite and sapphire can be cleaned in a soap solution with ammonia. The proportion of the solution is 0.5 glasses of water, 1 teaspoon of alcohol. After cleaning, rinse the gems with warm water.

Amethyst, rhinestone and citrine Clean only with ultrasound.

Turquoise a whimsical gem. It can not be cleaned with aqueous solutions, from their impact, the stone can easily lose color. Decorations with turquoise can not be subjected to sharp temperature changes, to the effect of acidic and soapy solutions. To remove strong contaminants, it is allowed to use alcohol or distilled water. To return the shine, a piece of flannel fabric or dry suede will suit you - you can polish turquoise yourself.

Very often, dirt is collected under a stone. You can remove it with a match and a piece of cotton wool. Moisten cotton with glycerin or a solution of magnesia and ammonia. With gentle circular motions, wipe the notches and surfaces. If there are particles of dirt that could not be removed, contact a specialist in cleaning jewelry. You may need professional cleaning with ultrasound. However, ultrasound can not clean all the stones.

A universal way to clean any stones

The Amethyst Druze.

Minerals are laid overnight to the amethyst brew with very small crystals (it is also called an amethyst brush or a bed for stones).

Also known purification of quartz - Place the stones on a druise of quartz for the night.

How to clean a stone of negative energy

How to clean the stone of negative energy. The easiest ways to clean stones from the negative: running water, earth and other methods! Come in! Read it! Apply!

Most precious stones, untreated and cut, separately or in jewelry, gain negative or undesirable energy over time. Stones like sponges absorb in themselves both negative energy and positive and react to various energies of the environment. There are stones in nature, they are not subject to accumulation of energy, therefore, they do not need to be cleaned - citrine, kyanite.
   Crystals and pebbles that are used for the purpose of healing stones or lithotherapy or other work with them, should be cleaned and cleared away from negative energy. You will also find that cleaning stones makes them more positive. In order to clean yourself, it's enough to take a cold shower, it's cold, because warm or hot - only the body is cleaned, and the cold ishes away all the accumulated energy and makes you neutral.
   A number of ways that are usually used to clean transparent crystals and stones to restore their light, joyful, vibrant energy. Use something that suits you and your stones better.
   Whichever way you choose, focus your attention during cleaning, on the intention to dissolve negative and undesirable energy from the crystal.
   Before cleaning itself, you can perform a simple ritual:
Ask God for help in cleaning up: this is a simple ritual, but it can work wonderfully. Just ask the Divine (God / Goddess / Universe / etc) to energetically cleanse your crystal for you. The form of your request should contain a specific goal and ask in a meditative or prayerful mood. Something like "oh great Divine, please cleanse all the unwanted or negative energy from the stone for the best and highest good of all concerned. Thank you. Amen". Details need to be changed to fit your own beliefs and needs.

Sunlight or moonlight

The rays of the sun and the moon are energetically very powerful and perfectly energetically clean the stones, and also charge with energy. Place the stones outside preferably or in a separate window, where they can soak up the sun or moonlight during the day / night, it is possible with a week, it is very beneficial, since it can be cleaned with sunlight and moonlight. Be careful, as some stones can fade in the sun. A few stones that will burn out in the sun: amethyst, celestine, opal and turquoise. If you have any doubts at all, be sure to use only the moonlight for cleansing.

Earth or sand

How wildly it does not look for those of us who have grown up watching horror films, then burying crystals and stones, you can achieve a very strong effect of cleansing and healing for them. You can bury them in the ground and they can lie there for 3 days and up to a week, it can be either in your yard or in a flower pot. Be sure that if you hide your stones in the courtyard, do not forget to mark the place, so that later your yard will not turn into one dug up flower bed. I do not think that you want to find your stones again, shovel half the yard.

Salty water

Another method for clearing the stone of negative energy is salt water. Although this is a great way to clean crystals, but I recommend to act very carefully, using salted water, as this method is not suitable for all stones. You need to know the physical properties of your crystal to be sure that they are not porous or soft, so they will not absorb water. Salt water gets into the structure of some crystals and stones that causes their destruction. Sometimes a failure does not occur immediately, but with a weakened structure it can break down later. Here are some stones that do not feel very well in salt water: calcite, carnelian, halite, hematite, labradorite, lepidolite, magnetic zheleznyak (magnetite), mica, moldavit, opal, turquoise, ulexite, and there are probably more stones. When you use salt water, be careful and do not leave your crystals in it for longer than necessary.

Crystals of sea salt

The stones can be placed in dry, coarse crystals of sea salt for 24 hours to clean them. They can also be stored in sea salt to keep them from losing energy, and accumulating negative from their environment. In rooms with high humidity, the use of sea salt, can sometimes cause the same problems as salted water. It can also stay in the gaps of the structure and eventually connect with water in the air and destroy the stone.

Smoky with smoke

Fumigation is one of the safest methods of cleaning crystals and stones from unwanted energy. It is also a much faster way to clean crystals than any of the above methods. To do this, you need to carry the stone several times through the smoke of burning cedar, sage, grass, or incense. You can also use a spray with essential oil of white sage if you are sensitive to the smoke used for cleaning stones materials. Just keep in mind that a lot of liquid is harmful to some crystals, although a light mist of water is much less than most methods of water purification.

Fresh water

Here is another simple way how to clear a stone of negative energy. Rainwater, filtered or in great need even ordinary tap water: for quick cleaning, you can lower your stones under cold water. Hot, very cold, or warm water can damage some crystals and stones. You can also use water filtered with Shungite to clean other stones, and this
the method can be used as an energetically positive method of water filtration. Again, as with salt water, make sure that the crystals are not prone to spoilage of water before they are dropped into the water.

Reiki

Another way to cleanse the stone of negative energy - it's Reiki, or other healing energy works - is another of my favorite methods of cleansing crystals. I mean, it's collecting the universal vital energy to heal the stone from the negative and undesirable energies. The practicing master of Reiki can simply process a stone, like any other creature that needs healing, and sets his intention to heal the stone from any negative or undesirable energies.

Cleaning with stones

Some stones are cleared of negative or unwanted energy from the energy of other stones. Some stones that work well for this crystal are the druses of quartz, drusen amethyst, carnelian, kyanite and selenite. Place the stone on the "clearing" of the stones (spread the stones-cleaners with a small layer and put on top the stone that is being cleaned), and leave for 24-48 hours. Kyanite cleans well the other stones.

Flower waters

You can also clean the transparent stones in the flower water. Soak stones in the water with rose petals, honey, orange, jasmine or other within 24 hours. You can also use ready-made floral water for example pure pink. Again, precautions are applied to stones that are not very good for water.

Breathing with the third eye

Breathing with the third eye (for those who can and meditate): in a quiet, secluded place, ground (let the energy of the earth through yourself) and start breathing slowly. Visualize breathing with white light through the third eye chakra and back. Hold the crystal in your hand, at the level of the third eye and breathe in the white light from your third eye to the crystal to purify unwanted and negative energies. Repeat at least 3 times, it is possible more if the crystal does not undergo purification after the third time.

Sound

I present to your attention the next method of clearing a stone of negative energy-the use of a melodic gong, Tibetan prayer bells, bells, singing ohms, to purge unwanted energies from your crystal. Hold the stone and the sound of the gong, etc. next, passing through the crystal , sound waves, clean it.

Candle flame

Fire is another way to clear a stone of negative energy. Focus your intention and verbally pray or ask for a clearing your crystal, hold your hand with a stone or a stone suspended on something quickly through the flame of a white candle. Be sure to move fast enough to prevent overheating or damage to the crystal. Repeat until the crystal energy is completely purified.

Four forces

   In the ritual, use the symbols / representatives of the four elements and call them to purify your crystal while simultaneously passing the stone through the (above) symbolic representation of each element. For a system with five elements, do the same, but with five elements.
   Whichever way you choose, the exact length of time required for cleaning varies depending on your personal intuition and the state of the crystal. Trust your intuition and the higher I lead you to the best methods and duration for you and the stone.
   The best time to clean stones and crystals is five days, these are the last days of the solar year, when the sun is in the constellation of Pisces, from 16 to 21 March. When the sun will be in the constellation of Aries, the first decade, you can make the stones clean with fire.
Purified, placing them in the light for several days. And the more often you wear a stone, the better it is to place it on the sun or moonlight for a short time to recharge. Just after cleaning the stone, it can be charged using a crystal generator. Also for these purposes come druses crystal or pyramids.

Precious stones come to our house in different ways. Some we buy ourselves, others give us, the third pass by inheritance or even get to us by accident. In any case, the gem has visited us in several hands, at least in the hands of the jeweler and the seller, which means that the stone could already absorb the energy of others - other people's emotions, problems and moods. He was the witness of what events, he is most often known only to him alone.

Noble stones accumulate energy

Obligatory cleaning should be thrown stones used for treatment, as well as fallen to the new owner from deceased relatives. The most vulnerable to negative energy, and therefore requires frequent cleaning, onyx. The least able to accumulate the negative of citrine, this mineral needs only ordinary care.

With stones you can maintain neutrality, you can be friends, but it's better to make the gem your ally and helper. To do this, remember a few rules:

1. Do not expect quick rapport. The stone should get used to the new owner, tune in to one wave with the owner. This takes time.
2. The new stone must be cleaned to erase from its memory the energy and information trail of the former owner.
3. After cleaning, you need to give the stone a rest and regain strength for 7-10 days, then load the stone with sunlight or moonlight.
4. It is necessary to take care of the stone lovingly and periodically clean it, the frequency of which depends on the method of use (wearing as decoration, medical procedures, meditation, etc.).
5. Sometimes you need to give rest to your favorite decoration, not wearing it for several days.
6. It is desirable that the gem does not know other people's hands, especially in the period between cleaning and charging.

The attentive owner of the gem will immediately notice the change in his stone - a change of color or a dull sheen. This will mean that the stone is tired and needs rest and cleaning.

How to save a stone from the accumulated negative energy?

The best means for purification is water. It is useless to take chlorinated water from the tap or just boiled. The water must be alive - spring, artesian, river, melted. We clean the gems in the last three days of the lunar month, because these days the strength of the stones is weakening, and their energy field is easier to part with the accumulated information.

So, in a glass vessel with water we lower our stone and leave for several hours. Then rinse thoroughly under running water. After the "water procedures" the gem should be put on for a couple of hours to dry and recharge live energy on the torn green leaf of the plant next to the burning candle. The next 7-10 days the stone should rest in a place where no one will disturb it. Closer to the full moon, the stone is spread overnight to a window where moonlight falls or for several hours in the sun. Charged with a lunar or solar energy gem ready for dialogue with the owner. The stone generously will share with its master its magical power, help in medical procedures, protect in difficult life situations.

What you should pay attention to when cleaning stones from the negative

It must be remembered that it is impossible to charge sunlight with turquoise, rose quartz and amethyst, as they burn out under the influence of the sun, losing the beauty of their color.

Often recommended in various sources, stone cleaning with sea salt (in solution or dry form) or ice (freezing) is not suitable for all gems. Salt can damage the polishing of the edges of the jewelry, change the physical properties of the stone, and the contrast of temperatures during freezing and thawing can lead to cracks and chips. It is not recommended to clean with salt malachite, turquoise, opal, onyx, amber, carnelian, pyrite, lapis lazuli and many others.

The method of cleaning with fresh water followed by moonlighting for most stones is the safest. Also, the gem can be charged by placing it next to a crystal of rock crystal.
