🌙 Cleansing stones: why and how to clean your jewelry and crystals

🌿 Why purify your natural stones?

Natural stones absorb the energies around them. Even the most beautiful stones can accumulate negative influences, tension, or low vibrations. Cleansing them restores their energy , strengthens their properties, and maintains their effectiveness in everyday life.

At Moodstone, each stone is selected for its vibration, and purification is essential to ensure that your jewelry remains a powerful ally in your energetic balance.

💎 Methods for purifying stones

There are several simple and effective techniques:

Running water

Run the stone under a stream of clean water for a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the hardness of the stone.

Warning: some stones (like Selenite or Malachite) are sensitive to water and may be damaged.

Salt

Salt absorbs negative energies.

  • Place your stones in a bowl of dry salt or sea salt for a few hours.
  • Avoid using wet salt on fragile stones.

Sunlight or moonlight

  • Sunlight recharges and purifies robust stones like Tiger's Eye or Citrine.
  • Moonlight , especially during a full moon, is gentle and suitable for all stones, even fragile ones.

Incense or fumigation

Pass your stones through the smoke of incense, sage or Palo Santo wood to eliminate stagnant energies.

Quartz clusters or geodes

Placing your stones on a cluster of quartz or in an amethyst geode allows you to purify and recharge them simultaneously.

🌿 When should you cleanse your stones?

  • After a period of stress or intense emotions
  • After the stone has been given or exchanged
  • Regularly to maintain energy levels (for example, every month)
  • Before a ritual or special intention

Moodstone tip: combine purification and intention to amplify the energetic effect of your jewelry.
