How to look after your crystal

Crystals love to be charged and cleansed under the full moon, or even a few days leading up to and following the full moon

Don’t leave amethyst out in the sunlight, as it will fade in colour

Rinse in salty water for cleansing if required

Crystals love friends, so keep your crystal with other crystals for them to support and energise each other

If your crystal breaks, you can consider returning it to the earth

If you lose your crystal, don’t be sad, it has done for you what it was here to do, and has moved on.  Be thankful for the healing energy it has brought you during its time with you.
