How to Cleanse and Recharge Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings — including your emotions, environments, and intentions. To keep them clear and vibrant, it’s essential to regularly cleanse and recharge them, especially after intense use or emotional work.

Cleanse with intention

White Sage Bundle

A sacred tool used for centuries, white sage helps release stagnant energy and purify both your crystals and your space. Light the bundle, let it smolder, and gently pass the smoke over your stones with intention. Best used before or after deep emotional work.

Let your crystals rest in light

Selenite Charging Stick

Known as the “liquid light” crystal, selenite doesn’t just stay clear — it clears others. Place your crystals atop or beside a selenite stick overnight for a passive, gentle recharge. Perfect for daily use or after travel.

When should I cleanse my crystals?

Cleanse your crystals when you first receive them, after intense emotional use, or anytime they feel “off” or heavy. A good rhythm is once every 1–2 weeks if you wear or work with them often.

Which cleansing method should I use?

Choose what feels right for you and your crystal:

  • sage or palo santo for energetic release.
  • is ideal for a no-smoke option.
  • is gentle and works for all stones.

Trust your intuition—your ritual is yours.

Do certain crystals need more care?

Yes. Highly absorbent stones like black tourmaline, malachite, or labradorite may need more frequent cleansing. Softer or porous stones (like selenite) should avoid water.

Can I use water to cleanse my crystals?

Some crystals are water-safe, like quartz and amethyst, but others—like selenite, lapis lazuli, and pyrite—can dissolve or rust. When in doubt, skip the water and use smoke, sound, or selenite instead.

 How do I know if my crystal needs cleansing?

If your crystal feels energetically dull, you don’t feel as connected to it, or it’s been through emotionally charged experiences—it likely needs a reset.

Is it okay to cleanse multiple crystals together?

Yes, you can! Group them together on a selenite plate, in moonlight, or pass them together through sage smoke. Just avoid water unless you’re sure all are safe.

Do I need to set an intention every time I cleanse?

While not required, setting a quiet intention—like “release what no longer serves”—can deepen your connection to the ritual. It invites mindfulness and restores the crystal’s alignment to your energy.
