Crystal Care Guide

Learn how to cleanse, charge, and care for your crystals after your candle has burned to maintain their healing properties.

Retrieving Your Crystal

Once your candle has completely burned down, you'll find your crystal waiting at the bottom of the container. Follow these steps to safely retrieve and clean your crystal:

  1. 1.Pour boiling water into the container and let it sit overnight. The wax will float to the top and solidify.
  2. 2.Remove the hardened wax from the top of the water.
  3. 3.Carefully retrieve your crystal from the bottom of the container and rinse it with warm water.
  4. 4.Clean the crystal with mild soap if needed, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.

Cleansing Your Crystal

Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings, so it's important to cleanse them regularly to remove any unwanted energies and restore their natural vibration.

Moonlight Bath

Place your crystal outside or on a windowsill during a full moon to cleanse and recharge it with lunar energy. Leave it overnight for best results.

Ideal for: All crystals, especially Rose Quartz and Clear Quartz

Smudging

Pass your crystal through the smoke of burning sage, palo santo, or incense. The smoke will clear away negative energies and restore balance.

Ideal for: All crystals, especially Amethyst

Sound Cleansing

Use sound vibrations from singing bowls, bells, or tuning forks near your crystal to break up stagnant energy and restore harmony.

Ideal for: All crystals, especially Clear Quartz

Charging Your Crystal

After cleansing, it's important to charge your crystal to enhance its natural properties and energy.

Sunlight

Place your crystal in direct sunlight for 1-2 hours to charge it with solar energy. This method is especially effective for crystals associated with fire and air elements.

Note: Some crystals like Amethyst may fade with prolonged sun exposure. Limit charging time to 30 minutes for these crystals.

Earth Energy

Bury your crystal in the earth (in a pot of soil or in your garden) for 24 hours to reconnect it with the earth's grounding energy. This is especially beneficial for crystals associated with earth elements.

Ideal for: Rose Quartz and other grounding crystals

Using Your Crystal

Personal Carry

Carry your crystal in your pocket or purse to benefit from its energy throughout the day. This allows the crystal to work directly with your personal energy field.

Meditation

Hold your crystal in your hand or place it on your body during meditation to enhance focus and connect with the crystal's specific properties and intentions.

Home Placement

Place your crystal in specific areas of your home to promote certain energies. For example, Rose Quartz in the bedroom for love and Amethyst by your bedside for peaceful sleep.

Crystal Care Schedule

For optimal results, we recommend cleansing and recharging your crystals at least once a month, ideally during the full moon. This regular maintenance will keep your crystal's energy clear and potent.
