Gemstone jewelries are items to wear to look beautiful or cool, but they are not only for the purpose. Gemstones or crystals are always trying to support us. Some stones heal our sad
feelings and make us cheer up, or remind us to have better thoughts. Yes, they are like our good friends. All crystals have essential property, that absorbs negative vibration or energy
from the wearer or even from the environment. After a while of wearing, they may look tired or become diminished. This can be seen or can be felt. This is when you should purify. For gemstone
jewelry to work comfortably and efficiently, you can cleanse your friend.
There are several ways to clean your gemstones or crystals. If we were to clean stone specimens or tumbled rocks, we would have more options, but be careful, we are cleansing jewelries. We also
need to keep in mind of the findings which are usually sterling silver, gold or metals. The following list are some of the safer ways to cleanse your gemstone jewelries. Before the list of
cleansing, I will list out how to care for the jewelries daily.

-
Moonlight : One of the easiest methods of cleansing gemstone jewelry or crystals is by using moonlight. When your gemstone jewelry becomes a
bit dull in appearance, moonlight bathing cleanses and recharges the gemstone jewelries. Place them directly under the light of the moon for at least four hours. You can also use
sunlight but stones such as amethyst or fluorite, will fade when placed in direct sunlight. Using moonlight is much safer and gentle for cleansing. When you doing the moonlight
cleansing, during full moon is the most effective.
-
Crystal Cluster : This is another easy method if you can obtain crystal
clusters. Clear quartz cluster or amethyst cluster is suitable for cleansing. Place jewelry on the cluster. When you place the gemstone jewelry on the cluster, just be careful the sharp
points are avoided from scratching the jewelry.
-
Smudging : In many cultures since long long time ago, people do smudging to
purify things or environment or situations etc. Use the white sage. Light the sage stick and waft the smoke of white sage or suitable herbs for cleansing.
-
Sound : This is unique but effective choice to cleanse the
gemstone jewelry. You can use Singing Bowl, Tingsha, or Crystal Tuning Folk. Beautiful cleansing sound frequency vibrates on the gemstones or even the environment and clear negative energy
quickly, use for around 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Reiki : If you are a Reiki practitioner, you can purify the
gemstone with Reiki energy. You don't need to mix your intention with the energy but you can use the Universal Reiki energy from the source. ex) Jakikiri Joka Ho
There are many ways to cleanse. I recommend anything with gentle methods for the stone's longevity. You
can mix 2 or more cleansing methods according to your situation.
