Gemstones pick up all sorts of energies from our aura, our thoughts, and our feelings. They absorb energy from places and things as well and these energies are not always good or positive. Sometimes certain negative energies, psychic debris, and imbalances clog up a gemstone, leaving it in a weakened state.
To put it simply, gemstones can get overloaded with a cluster of unwanted energies. Technically, it’s the same thing as needing a refreshing bath after an exhausting day. Cleansing gemstones allows them to return to their clean and purified state, making them ready for use. When to Cleanse Gemstones It is crucial to cleanse new gemstones after you get them, as they have been in many places and different hands before they came to you. If you wear or carry a gemstone with you throughout the day, it’s good to cleanse it at the end of the day to have it ready for another trip. If you feel the gemstone needs cleansing, do it. Your ability to sense energy is always better than you believe. So, follow your instincts, and if another person handles your gemstones, it is better to stay on the safe side and give them a quick cleansing. How to Cleanse Gemstones There are various techniques to cleanse your gemstones. You can choose a method based on what you like and the rituals that you connect most with. Other than that, the environment and the weather are contributing factors. So, you can decide on the methods suited to these factors. So the best way to go about this is to try different techniques before settling on your favorite ones. Then you can also switch it up from time to time and see which routine works best for you and what you enjoy the most. Here are 7 safe techniques for you to use to cleanse gemstones. Water Cleansing with water can be a little tricky as it involves handling gemstones with extra care and attention. Some soft gemstones can get damaged with this method, therefore, do your research. Using water to cleanse gemstones works best with polished stones. Just dip your gemstones in a bowl of plain water. You can also hold it under running water for a moment. Sunlight Sunlight is great for thorough cleansing, especially for new gemstones. This one is a safe and easy method. Simply place your gemstones on a surface where sunlight covers them. Keep them there for a few minutes, and that’s it. Some gemstones, however, are vulnerable to discoloration from the sun. So instead of putting them directly under a beam of sunlight, just put them out for an hour at dawn. Moonlight Cleansing gemstones with moonlight is a popular method and a favorite of many. It is a safe way to cleanse and re-energize your gemstones, since the gemstones won’t encounter any harsh elements. In addition, moonlight is a great method for all gemstone types; natural, rough, polished, etc. In this method, you place your gemstones under the night sky where they are bathed in moonlight. You can keep them there for a few hours and take them inside in the morning. Sound Sound waves work like a charm to cleanse gemstones. Different instruments that produce reverberating sounds can work for this method. Such as a tuning fork, singing bowl, tingsha, bells, and chimes. Allow the sound to wash over the gemstones. During this, you must visualize the gemstones releasing negative energies and getting purified. Other Gemstones Some powerful gemstones, such as clear quartz and selenite, have immense cleansing energies that work on other gemstones as well. Therefore, if you simply place your gemstones into a bowl with clear Quartz or Selenite, they will absorb the harmful remnants left behind by different things in your gemstones. And the best part is that quartz and selenite don’t require cleansing as they can self-cleanse. This method is convenient and easy, especially when you don’t have time to meditate during the cleansing process or when the weather doesn’t allow outside cleansing. Smoke You can cleanse gemstones with the smudging technique using smoke from incense, sage, or herbs. This technique is suited to any environment or weather. However, it is a process that requires concentration, carefulness, and mindfulness. Begin the process by first setting a purification intention. Then visualize the smoke as a carrier of your intention and see the negativity being released with the smoke as it rises and disperses. These options are not all the ways to cleanse gemstones, but they are a good place to start. Happy Cleansing! Looking for Gemstone Jewelry?
