5 methods to cleanse crystals

Water

It could be intimidating to new collectors, but the maintenance of crystals is quite simple. When certain requirements are satisfied the use of water is a good option to clean crystals of accumulated dust.

Make sure the mineral or crystal has a hardness (you can determine the Mohs hardness scale by a quick Google search) of 5.0 or more. And if the hardness qualifies, ensure the crystal does not contain metal (e.g. Hematite or pyrite).

How to cleanse: Water cleansing is done by placing the crystal(s) under the running tap water for 30 seconds and after that, dabbing the crystal with a cloth or putting them aside to dry.

If not, using a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove the dust from our beloved minerals (for those who are below 5.0 Mohs) should be the best option.

Other crystals

If you have a limited collection, crystals like selenite or clear quartz can be used as tools of mineralization for the purification of other crystals.

White selenite (also known as satin spar) is used to create decorative lamps and bowls that can store smaller crystals and other equipment. Selenite is a transparent Gypsum mineral with soft, romantic appeal that cleans other crystals and provides peace for the user.

On the other hand the crystal's clear, unmistakable clarity clear quartz is able to disperse the any cloudiness or high frequencies. The properties of clear quartz that amplify enhance the cleaning process for other crystals.
