Cleansing & Charging Your Crystals

All crystals supplied by The Archer Collection are cleansed before packaged, however should be cleansed and charged once you unpack your items. By doing so you will clear any unwanted positive or negative energy that may be within your crystals from their travels to you.

Clearing crystals maintains the healing qualities and allows the crystals to return to their natural state so that they continue to work for your desired purpose.

How to cleanse your crystals.

There are many different methods to clear and cleanse your crystals and you need to choose the best method that works for you.

Full Moon: This is a very effective way to cleanse, clear and charge. When a full moon is set all you have to do is place your crystals outside. You can lay them on your balcony, porch or yard. Even if you don’t have a backyard or balcony just place your crystals on the windowsill. Leave them in your chosen position overnight to allow them to absorb all the natural energies. Be sure to bring your crystals inside in the morning as long periods of sunlight can fade your crystals (especially amethyst).

Smudging: Smudge sticks such as white sage or lavender as well as incense are a great way to cleanse your Crystals. Hold your Crystals over the burning smudge stick and let the smoke run over them for a short period of time. Be careful of the hot embers and make sure you extinguish your smudge stick completely. Keep the window open to let the energy drift out of your home.

Using Other Crystals: Selenite and Clear Quartz are both fantastic for cleansing and charging all crystals. Crystal Clusters also work great. You can do this by just simply placing your crystals on top of the selenite or clear quartz, or you can even lay them beside your crystals so they touch There are selenite options on our website for you to choose from. This will clear any negative energies.

The Earth: Burying your Crystals in the earth or a plant cleanses and clears their energy through earth vibrations. Leave the crystals buried in the earth for a day or two to clear any negative energies and re-energise them. Crystals love returning home to the earth.

Visualisation: If you are not at home or unable to use your usual cleansing method, visualisation is a great cleansing technique. Hold the Crystal in your hand and visualise white light washing over the stone and imagine all the negativity being washed away.

Water: Water is a powerful way to cleanse and charge your crystals. Make sure the water is flowing when using this method. Visualise the crystal letting go of the previous energy and it being washed away. Stagnant water will keep the energy there, flowing washes the energy away. If you are close to the ocean or a stream allow the water to move over your crystals, otherwise under the tap could always be used, so long as your crystals are not kept in a bucket or bowl. PLEASE BE CAREFUL if you choose this method though as some crystals or minerals can not get wet and may become damaged, dissolve or crack if left in water for an extended amount of time

Some crystals that do not like to be wet:

amber, turquoise, red coral, fire opal, moonstone, calcite, kyanite, kunzite, angelite, azurite, selenite. A good rule of thumb to use is – stones that end in “ite” are not water-friendly. There are a few more that may not be listed here so it is best to do some research about your crystal before deciding to use the water method.
