Why purify crystals? 🧼

Keep your crystal in its purest energy state at all times.

During daily wear and use, crystals continuously absorb the emotions, stress, and energy noise from the wearer and the surrounding environment.
Regularly purifying crystals can:

Clearing accumulated negative energy and mixed magnetic fields

Restoring the crystal's original clarity and high-frequency vibration

Realigning the crystal with your energy frequency makes it easier to "feel" its power.

It is recommended to purify crystals in the following situations:

Newly acquired crystals : Cleanse them once before using them.

Crystals worn daily : Cleanse once every 1–4 weeks, or as you feel.

When should you purify your crystals?

Please pay attention to the following signals:

Wearing them feels "unfeeling" and becomes heavy.

Experiencing emotional ups and downs, conflicts, or illness

The crystal has darkened in color (after removing dust).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❓

Q1: How many times does it take to cleanse a crystal?
If you wear a bracelet/pendant every day, it is recommended to cleanse it once every 1–4 weeks. If you have recently experienced a lot of stress or a major event (argument, illness, bereavement, etc.), you can do a "deep cleaning" for it earlier, depending on the situation.

Q2: Do I need to cleanse a newly purchased crystal first?
Highly recommended. Before crystals are mined, transported, and reach you, they have already experienced many different environments and human hands. A simple purification can remove old energy, making it a crystal that truly "resonates only with you."

Q3: Can I use salt water or bury it directly in salt to purify it?
Traditionally, there's a practice of using salt for purification, but many crystals (such as those with mineral inclusions, metals, malachite, calcite, etc.) are susceptible to damage from salt and prolonged soaking. In practice, gentler methods like clear quartz clusters, moonstone purification, or aromatherapy are recommended. If unsure, it's best to avoid using salt altogether.

Q4: Can crystals be purified every day? Will they lose their energy after being cleansed?
Gentle purification methods (such as clear quartz clusters, moonlight, and audio) can be used daily; the key is to rely on your own intuition and actual needs. Purification removes noise, but it doesn't "wash away" the crystal's structure and energy. When you feel very tired, a second purification can actually make you feel more comfortable.

Q5: What does it mean if the bracelet breaks or the crystal suddenly shatters?
There are two common interpretations: one is physical wear and tear; the other is that some people see the crystal as having blocked certain energies or completed a phase of its mission. In any case, it is recommended to check for physical causes first, and then choose to re-thread the crystal, keep some of the crystal for display, or let it "retire" as appropriate.
