Sea Salt Smudging

**NEVER cleanse the following stones in salt:
Amber, Turquoise, Imperial Topaz, Red Coral, Fire Opal, Moonstone, Opal, all Calcites including Blue Calcite, Green Calcite, Orange Calcite, Angelite, Azurite, Kyanite and Kunzite or any raw or rough stone**

Placing your crystals in dry sea salt will negate the crystals of all energies.  It is a powerful way of cleansing your crystals.  Place some dry fine sea salt into a glass or crystal bowl and cover your crystals completely, taking care not to have them touching each other.  Depending on the humidity the more porous crystals will not like this method.

Using Fire or Flames to Smudge


Fire is a great cleanser of our soul as with the crystals.  You may place your crystals next to or near a fire (making sure they dont get too hot or they will crack) to cleanse or pass them through a flame.



Amethyst and Citrine Clusters

Placing your crystals on clusters is a 'set and forget' way to cleanse.  Amethyst and Citrine Clusters are the most popular.  Place your crystals on  them on for a few days and you will know when they are ready.  Give them an extra charge by placing it under a full moon!

Reiki Crystal Smudging


Reiki is a powerful pure healing energy.  It is one of my favourite cleansing methods of crystals as the energies are so beautiful.  Hold the crystal in your hand if you are attuned and enjoy the meditation.  You may also use symbols over them.  The crystal will not only cleanse but will also take on the healing energy of reiki.

White Sage Smudge


Smudging with Organic White Sage to cleanse your crystals is an enjoyable way.  Using a feather fan first of all smudge yourself making sure the smoke goes over your whole aura.  Once you have been done you may now fan the smoke over the crystals.  Alternatively you can just pass the stone through the smoke.  Make sure you breath deeply as sage is a fantastic herb for the lungs. Another way to use the herbs is to place the crystals directly on the dry herb. Only use organic herbs.

Amazonite - General Usage

Amazonite – Soothes all chakras especially heart and throat.  It enhances communication concerning love.  Aligns physical body with etheric and astral bodies producing balance.  Balances the male / female energies.  Brings clarity, and balances personality.  Great for the nervous system.  Chakras – heart and throat.


I have found that my 36" strands are extremely powerful and have a sedative nature when worn on the right wrist.
