Keep their energy and beauty alive

Gemstones hold a unique magic - not only are they beautiful to look at, but they also carry powerful energies that can support and uplift us. Whether you use them for meditation, energy work or simply admire their beauty, taking good care of your gemstones will keep them vibrant and full of life.

Here are some simple ways to care for your gemstones:

1. Clean them regularly

Over time, gemstones absorb energy from their environment and it's important to give them a 'reset'. Here are a few ways to clean them:

Rinse with water:
gently rinse your gemstones under lukewarm water for a few seconds. Just make sure you don't rinse stones like selenite or malachite with water - they don't like moisture!

Incense:
Incense your stones with sage, palo santo or incense sticks to remove lingering energy.

2. Recharge your energy

Your gemstones are working hard to help you. Giving them a boost of energy every now and then will keep their energy strong. Some popular ways to recharge them are:

Reconnect with Nature:
Bury your stones in soil for a day or two to let them soak up the Earth’s grounding energy.

Crystal Charging:
Place your gemstones near clear quartz or selenite to amplify their natural vibrations.

Moonlight:
The soft light of the full moon is perfect for charging gemstones. Simply place them on a windowsill or outside overnight.

3. Keep them away from bright sunlight

While sunlight is beautiful, it's not always a gemstone's best friend. Some stones, such as amethyst and rose quartz, can fade if exposed to too much direct sunlight. When displaying or storing your collection, choose a place with indirect light to keep the stones looking their best.

4. Store them carefully

Gemstones are naturally resistant, but they still need a little care. Store each gemstone in its own soft bag or in a lined box to prevent scratching.

Keep harder stones like quartz separate from softer ones - they can accidentally scratch more delicate gemstones.

5. Know your gemstones

Some gemstones have special properties that require special attention. Malachite, for example, contains copper and should not be soaked in water for long periods of time. If you're not sure, take a moment to research how to care for a particular stone - it's worth it to protect it!

6. Hold them with intention

The way you handle your gemstones is important. Hold them with care, set your intentions and connect with their energy. This mindful handling strengthens the connection between you and your stones and makes their energy even more effective.

Let’s Break It Down

Caring for your gemstones is about more than just keeping them beautiful - it's about respecting their energy and the role they play in your life. These natural treasures deserve a little love and attention, and if cared for properly, they will support you for years to come.
