great post. thank you very much

I have found quartz to be great to help clear old or negative energy, but you do have to clear/clean it frequently for this.

Crystal are great here are some methods to clean and recharge them.

.Salt water.

salt is considered to have purifying qualities. method is to fully submerge the crystal in a container of seawater for between 24 = 36 hours. its best to use seawater, but should you not have access to it, you can just add a half teasthingy of sea-salt to every pint of warm water.

Outside in the Sunlight.

Some stones can be cleaned outside. Sunlight affects the colour of stones such as aventurine, amethyst, aquamarine, beryl and rose quartz, while others can be placed for up to a day in either sunlight or moonlight.

Amethyst.

Amethyst is a very powerful crystal and excellent for cleaning. An easy way of cleaning small stones is to place them on an amethyst cluster. cleanse the cluster in rain or moonlight and this can be done every month or two.

Sage tea.

Using sage tea is another way to clean your crystal. It is very effective and there is less possibility of your crystals being damaged. It is always preferable to use fresh sage. Brew a pot of light tea and leave to cool. If possible, always use a glass jar or bowl and pour the cool tea over the crystals and leave overnight. Remove them and since with clean, pure water, if possible distilled water.

.Smudge or Smoke method.

Smudge cleaning of gems and crystals is to pass the stones through the smoke of herbs or scented incense. Hold your stones either one at a time or all together in your hand and pass them through the smoke. Sweetgrass, lemongrass, frankincense, sage and of cause Dragon's Blood are ideal. Crystals can also be passed through a candle flame to cleanse.

. Water - Rain.

Water is a wonderful cleaner. Stones like the rain and it cleans much better than the usual water method and can be left to cleanse in the rain for many hours. Crystal can also be placed in running water to be cleaned - a river or stream is ideal, When using tap water, it is advisable to have a water filter so as to filter out chemicals. When cleaning malachite in this way, do so with caution as some stones loose their coating when they get wet.

These are all really great...I like the rain cleansing...I have used salthingyer...but not seawater. I think I will try the rain next time I need it. I get plenty of that where I am.

Can I capture rainwater to use any time or does it have to be left outside in the rain?
