Purification and Recharging

There are different times when purification must be done:
  • On receiving the stone: we don't know who touched it before.
  • After use: After using your stones or from time to time if you wear them on a daily basis.
There are different reasons to purify your stones:
  • Minerals in the environment, as well as those we wear, gradually absorb harmful energies. They therefore need to be purified and recharged. It's up to you to know when they need it.

Purification

It's very important to cleanse and purify your stones to eliminate subsequent vibrations and restore them to their natural, neutral vibration.

  • Water purification

The most common method is to briefly pass the stone under water (tap water if it is not too hard, otherwise spring water). Gently dry it with a soft cloth, then proceed to recharge it. 

  • Burying the stones

This technique is recommended for stones and crystals in need of deep purification. To do this, find an area of earth charged with energy (by instinct) and bury your stone for a night or more.

This method also allows you to recharge your stone. The stone returns to its original element, allowing it to recharge with minerals.

  • Salt purification

There are several techniques for purifying your stones with salt. I recommend placing your stones directly on a pile of salt to absorb negative energies.

Not all stones can withstand this type of purification! It depends on their chemical composition.

  • Purification by fumigation

This is a gentle technique to be used on regularly purified stones. It involves passing the crystals through the smoke given off by incense, sandalwood or Armenian paper.

  • Vibrational purification

The vibrations also have the ability to scare away harmful energies. To purify your stone, place it in a Tibetan bowl and let it sing. This method is highly effective and fast, but also relaxing for the person performing it.

  •  Purification with a pendulum

Hold the pendulum above the stone to be purified and set the intention to release the accumulated energies. Let the pendulum move naturally above the stone for a few moments. When its movement slows down or seems to stabilize, purification is generally considered complete. Take a moment to thank your pendulum and your stone before using them again.

Reloading

Over time, stones absorb negative energies. It is therefore important to recharge them with new energies.

  •  Recharging with light

Moonlight is generally the preferred method for recharging natural stones. Depending on their properties, some stones can also be briefly exposed to sunlight.

  •  Wave recharging

This technique is extremely simple. It is a highly effective way of recharging minerals and ridding certain objects of negative vibes. Simply place your stones in a scallop shell in the evening. The chemical composition and shape of the shell will recharge your stones.

  •  Quartz recharging

Simply place your stones on a quartz cluster for a day, and they will recharge properly. Another variation is to place your stones on an amethyst geode.

  •  Recharging with firelight

This method is rarely used. Some stones appreciate the light of flames. Examples include Fire Opal and Obsidian. For fire recharging, simply place your mineral in front of an open fire or candle and let the flame do its work.

  •  Recharging with a pendulum

Hold the pendulum above the stone and set the intention to recharge it with positive energy. Let the pendulum move freely above the stone for a few minutes. Visualize the stone filling with a bright and harmonious energy. When the pendulum's movement slows down or seems complete to you, the recharging is finished. Your stone is then ready to be used again.

The pendulum can be used alone or in conjunction with other purification and recharging methods, such as moonlight, quartz, or selenite.
