How to Cleanse & Charge Your Crystals


Crystals work best when they're energetically clear and vibrationally aligned. Over time, their energy can become dull or heavy, especially when used often or stored with others.

This guide walks you through when, how, and why to cleanse and charge your crystals - so they remain attuned to your intentions and rituals.

Cleansing helps to remove any stagnant, heavy, or absorbed energy.

Best times to cleanse:

  • When you first receive a crystal
  • After a heavy emotional period
  • Before setting a new intention
  • After frequent use or exposure to different environments
