Regarding crystal cleansing, we can use certain crystal stones to quickly restore their frequency and even remove any negative energy attached to them. This process is commonly known as "crystal cleansing" or "crystal purification."
These methods are usually passed down from ancient cultures and, in my opinion, are quite effective. However, it's important to note that not all methods are suitable for every type of crystal. Some purification methods can even damage certain crystals, making it not worth the risk.
Crystals can bring high-frequency energy, absorbing and transforming negative energy while releasing positive energy. When they absorb too much negative energy, their own energy starts to weaken, so crystals need to be cleansed and charged!

Purifying & Charging Crystals
There are many methods introduced online for cleansing crystals, which generally help with purification but may not recharge low-frequency crystals.
We list 8 common ways to cleanse crystals. Let's take a look at how to better help our crystal jewelry get cleansed and recharged!
※ Sun & Moon Purifying and Charging
Sunlight and moonlight cleansing are ideal ways to purify and charge crystals. These energies are among the most brilliant in the universe. On days when the energy is particularly strong or harmonious, wear your favorite crystal and let it soak up some sunlight or moonlight. Just make sure to avoid the harsh midday sun. The night before a full moon is also a great time.
Colored crystals are not suitable for sunlight as they can fade. You can choose to use moonlight instead because it's a reflection of the sun's light and is much gentler, so it won't affect the crystal's color too much!
For clear quartz, sunlight is a great method for cleansing and recharging. Moonlight is better for most other crystals. You can also place them in clean water and let them sit overnight under the moonlight, or expose them to sunlight for a day and rinse them off the next day!
※ Soaking Cleansing Method
Hold your crystal in your hand or place it in a small dish, and rinse it under running water for about three minutes. The idea is that the frequency of the running water will cleanse and purify the crystal. KarmaLucky suggests that the best running water comes from natural sources, like clear streams or clean rivers.
Soaking Method
※ Meditation
Meditation is one of the best ways to cleanse and charge your crystals. Meditate with your crystal to connect with the energy of the source. The light and love energy from the source is the highest frequency and purest!
By connecting with the source, we raise our own vibrational frequency. As we cleanse, heal, and uplift ourselves, our crystals will also elevate their vibrations and continue to serve us. Therefore, meditating to link with source energy is a highly effective way to boost our own energy.
Beginner's Meditation: Start by focusing on your breath, keeping it natural and comfortable. Let thoughts come and go without attachment, until your mind is clear..
※ Crystal Grid Cleansing and Charging Method
The crystal grid cleansing and charging method involves arranging different raw crystal stones into a crystal grid. This grid creates a high-frequency energy field, continuously charging and purifying the crystals within it. By activating the grid, you can achieve effective cleansing and charging for your crystals!
The 7 Star Crystal is the most commonly used for crystal charging.
Materials Needed:
A set of Seven Star Grid, composed of seven different colored crystals, preferably natural crystals (columnar, spherical, or block-shaped). The central main crystal should be larger than the others in the grid, while the remaining six crystals can be of roughly equal size.
*When arranging, you can arrange them in a triangular, hexagonal, or circular pattern. Place the crystals to be cleansed within the crystal grid, using the powerful energy loop to purify them.
*Avoid using acrylic or plastic. Choose a hexagonal prism crystal to place in the center to assist with activation.
Additionally, you can arrange the crystal grid according to traditional shamanic directional positions:
North: Knowledge, rebuilding.
South: Purification, flow, activation.
East: Conceptualization, new beginnings, resolving conflicts, inspiring new plans.
West: Letting go, purification, growth, renewal, rebirth.
Above: Cosmic energy and enlightenment, energizing.
Below: Earthing, stability, nourishment, sacred feminine energy.
※ Crystal Cluster Stone Demagnetization and Charging
Many crystals themselves possess the ability to eliminate or transform negative energy, such as black tourmaline, lapis lazuli, and others. Therefore, these types of crystals can be used to assist in purifying crystals that have absorbed excessive negative energy.
Place the crystals needing purification on top of a crystal cluster stone.
By allowing the energy to pass through these crystals, purification can be achieved. Additionally, placing a crystal cluster stone in a particular space can also purify that space effectively.
※ Smudge Cleansing Crystals
Smudge cleansing is a commonly used method to purify crystals. By burning plant materials to produce smoke, the atmosphere becomes quiet, solemn, and sacred. Crystals can be cleansed and empowered in this environment, naturally accumulating more energy.
Advantages of Smudge Cleansing:
Energy Purification:
Smudging can clear negative or stagnant energy from crystals, restoring them to purity and vitality.
Quick and Effective:
Smudge cleansing is relatively simple and fast, making it suitable for quickly purifying individual or small quantities of crystals. Environmental Purification: Burning plants like sage produces smoke that can also disinfect and sanitize indoor environments.
How to Perform Smudge Cleansing:
Choose suitable smudging tools such as sage, cedar, palo santo, or other plant materials, or use smudge essential oils.
Light the plant material: Ignite the plant material and allow it to produce smoke.
Place the crystals in the smoke, allowing the smoke to surround them. Hold the crystals in the smoke for 1-5 minutes. If sensitive to smoke, you can use incense sticks instead. There are various types of incense available; sandalwood has a calming effect on the spirit and is a good choice. Place the crystals or crystal items near the burning incense for approximately 30 minutes to complete the cleansing process.
※ Sea Salt Cleansing Method
Select clean sea salt, preferably natural sea salt without additional processing or added ingredients. Take a clean glass or crystal bowl and place the sea salt inside. Submerge the crystals or crystal items completely in the sea salt.
Leave them for 1-3 days. Afterward, remove the crystals and gently rinse them with flowing, purified water. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the crystals dry.
Notes:
Sea salt cleansing is suitable for most crystals. However, fragile or soluble crystals such as gypsum, hematite, etc., may not be suitable for this method to avoid damage or dissolution.
Salt can neutralize negative energy and draw out impurities, restoring harmony and balance to the crystals. It's advisable not to reuse the same batch of sea salt for multiple cleansing sessions.
*Sea salt has some corrosive properties, so crystal jewelry with metal, strings, or other accessories may not be suitable for this method.

Gold:
Use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Place the gold necklace in warm water, add a small amount of neutral dishwashing liquid, and gently brush with a soft-bristled brush.

Mix warm water, a small amount of dishwashing liquid, and baking soda. Gently brush with a soft-bristled brush. Silver jewelry needs to be wiped regularly to prevent oxidation.
Diamonds, Gemstones, Crystals:
It is recommended to clean with plain water and dry with a soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized jewelry cleaning solution to avoid reactions with the chemical components in natural gemstones.
Pearls:
