Smudging: Pass the crystal through the smoke of sacred herbs such as sage, palo santo, or sweetgrass. The smoke cleanses the energy of the crystal.

Moonlight Bath: Leave the crystals outside under the light of the full moon overnight. The energy of the moon cleanses and recharges the crystals.

Sunlight Purification: Leave the crystals in direct sunlight for a few hours, preferably in the morning. Be cautious with this method as prolonged exposure to sunlight may fade certain crystals.

Always research the specific properties of your crystals before cleansing them with water.
