Remember to clear your crystals. There are a few ways to do this. You can use dry salt or salt water. If you use salt water, mix one tablespoon of sea salt in a glass or ceramic container...do not use plastic. Also, check to make sure that the specific type of crystal can be placed in salt. Not all crystals can be cleared this way. Stones can be cleared by placing them in sunlight or moonlight, in the rain or burying them in the Earth. Full sunlight can clear stones in about an hour but some colored gemstones may fade (pink, purple, light blue, Fluorite). You can also leave stones outdoors on full moon nights but stones clear less quickly this way. Hanging gemstones from the branches of a tree during a rain storm will gently clean them. Gems can be buried in the Earth (or a pot filled with soil) for a period of time. A full moon cycle is ideal.
