Properties of Stones
Because crystals store energy, I recommend cleansing your crystals and stones after receiving them. Cleansing allows the crystals to become attuned to your energies. The best way to clear your crystals is what feels right to you. The most common practice is running water over them for a short while and then leaving them in the sun for a day, and then in the light of a full moon for a night. You can also bury them in sea salt for 24 hours. Crystals can be aids in uplifting ourselves, but they will not do the work for us. Each person must make an individual commitment to raising one’s own consciousness. The most important use of crystals is the opening of your spiritual awareness. God Bless!
