Crystals are minerals that form underground and are made up of three-dimensional repeating patterns of atoms. Many stones have different energy properties. Because crystals may recall both negative and positive energy, they need to be cleansed (charged) before being programmed, on occasion.
Crystal cleansing can be accomplished in a variety of ways. One of the most common methods is to soak them in sea salt (himalayan salt works great) and then rinse them in filtered or spring water to remove the salt. To allow crystals to reform their connection with the earth you would bury them in soil overnight or you could leave them outside overnight to soak up the moonlight.
Different gemstones have different energies and properties, and these differences can have an impact on mental, emotional, and physical health.
