🔮 Why Crystal Care Matters
Crystals are natural energy conductors. Whether you use them for healing, meditation, home décor, spiritual practice, or personal transformation, proper care directly affects their energy, durability, and appearance.
Because crystals absorb, amplify, and hold energy, regular cleansing and proper maintenance help them stay:
-
energetically aligned
-
physically clean
-
visually vibrant
-
spiritually “clear”
This guide explains everything you need to know in 2025 about cleansing, charging, storing, and caring for every type of crystal—based on scientific principles + metaphysical wisdom + practical safety.

Set intention: “I release any energy that does not belong to me.”
Safe for ALL crystals.

Best for: spiritual stones (Amethyst, Selenite, Moonstone, Labradorite).
-
Place crystals on a windowsill during a full moon.

Leave overnight (avoid dew if stones are iron-based).
Avoid:
-
Sun-sensitive crystals (Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Fluorite).
