The short version: ten ways people clean and refresh crystals. Some are physical cleaning; others are tradition. Always check hardness and water-sensitivity first.
- Water rinse — fine for quartz-family stones; skip selenite, malachite, and other soft/soluble minerals.
- Smoke — incense or dried herbs.
- Selenite plate — a dry, popular method.
- Clear-quartz cluster — resting smaller stones on a cluster.
- Moonlight — overnight under a full moon.
- Sunlight — brief only; avoid for amethyst, rose quartz, and other fade-prone stones.
- Sound — a bell or singing bowl.
- Dry earth or rice — buried overnight.
- Salt (dry) — for hard stones only; keep moisture off soft ones.
- A soft cloth — simple dusting.
