Spiritual Healing – Day 13
A clue to the water solubility of a crystal can be found in it’s name. Most water-soluble crystals end in “ite”, such as fluorite, calcite, angelite and sodalite. Lapis Lazuli is also water-soluble.
Use crystals that cleanse other crystals
Some crystals such as clear quartz or carnelian have the ability to cleanse other crystals. You can place a small crystal on top of a Quartz Cluster and leave it overnight or keep a Carnelian in a bag of other crystals. This is an extremely useful method for delicate crystals but the cleansing crystals may need cleansing themselves afterwards.
Sound
The vibrations of a pure sound can be used to cleanse a stone. You can use a bell, gong or turning fork.
Moonlight
Both moonlight and sunlight can be used to cleanse your crystals. However, sunlight can fade some crystals, whereas moonlight is a powerful safe cleanser.
Cleansing can and should be done on a regular basis. If your crystal is looking dull it may be because it has picked up and absorbed negative energy from the surrounding environment. Try not to let anyone touch your crystal, even though they may be full of good intentions. If your crystal has been handled by someone else then cleanse it to clear any absorbed negative energy.
Herb
Various herbs can also be used to clear crystals and gemstones. The herbs can either be used dry or burned for their smoke. Stones may be buried in dry herbs such as rose petals, sage, cedar, or frankincense. This is similar to using dry sea salt and is done in the same way. Rose petals may take a long time for clearing, but they will leave gemstones and crystals with a lovely soft energy. Rose Quartz and Kunzite especially feel good when cleared with dry rose petals. Dry sage or cedar are stronger herbs and are effective for clearing stones, but still take longer than sea salt.
