TAKING CARE OF YOUR CRYSTAL: Your crystal will absorb your energies, which is good for the most part but it will draw in your negativities too. So it is very important to keep your crystal cleansed.You also need to do this when you recieve your crystal so it will be yours and it's energies are in your favor. Always use a natural container when cleanising your crystal. I recommend glass ,then choose the way that feels right for you to do the cleansing.Here are the different ways to cleanse your crystal:1.Place it in rainwater for at least 24 hrs. 2.Place it in Holy water for at least 24hrs. 3.Roll it in dead Sea salt for about 10 mins then place in mineral oil, virgin olive oil or jojoba oil overnight. To recharge your crystals energies sit in the windowsill under the moonlight full moons are always the most powerful for recharging. If you are not using your crystal for awhile place it in mineral oil until you need it. This helps keep it cleansed but being it is a living mineral of the earth it also helps it grow and not dry out. I even do this with my crystal jewelry about once a year. Other things to remember about crystals: If a crystal breaks throw it away it has done it's part and is ready to retire. Don't keep it around it could bring negativity and bad luck. If you think you have misplaced your crystal it will stay gone until you need it when you need it the most is when it will return.
