How to Cleanse and Charge Your Crystals Naturally

Cleansing your crystals is just as important as choosing them. Crystals are energy absorbers. They can collect negative, stagnant, or residual energy from you, your environment, or other people. That’s why regular cleansing and recharging is essential — to keep your stones energetically fresh and effective.

At Canvas Crystals, we encourage all our customers to cleanse their crystals before the first use and periodically afterward. Think of it like “resetting” the stone to its purest vibration.

Top Crystal Cleansing Methods:

Moonlight Bath:
The Full Moon is the perfect time to cleanse and charge your crystals. Place them outside or on a windowsill overnight to absorb lunar energy. Best for: Amethyst, Quartz, Selenite.

Salt Water Soak:
Mix sea salt with water in a glass bowl and place your crystal in it for a few hours. Be careful — this method is not safe for soft stones like Selenite, Malachite, or Lapis Lazuli.

Smoke Cleansing:
Use sage, palo santo, or herbal incense. Pass the crystal through the smoke for 1–2 minutes. This method is great for all crystals.

Sound Energy Balance:
Use a Tibetan singing bowl, tuning fork, or mantra chanting to cleanse with vibration. Ideal for group cleansing.

Selenite Charging Plate:
Selenite itself is a cleansing stone. Placing other crystals on a Selenite slab overnight purifies and recharges them simultaneously.
