Caring for crystals and natural stones involves understanding their unique properties and needs to maintain their beauty and energy.  

• Cleaning

Regular Dusting - Wipe crystals with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. This helps maintain their shine and prevents buildup.

Gentle Washing - Some stones can be washed with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the stone’s surface or alter its properties.

Selenite and Water - Selenite should not be exposed to water as it is water-soluble and can dissolve over time.

• Storing

Soft Cloth or Pouch - Store crystals in a soft cloth or pouch to protect them from scratching and dust when not in use.

Separate Hardness - Store harder stones separately from softer ones to prevent scratching

• Crystal-Specific Care

Water-Sensitive Stones - Stones like malachite, selenite, and halite should not be submerged in water.

• Avoiding Damage

Heat and Sunlight - Some stones, like amethyst and fluorite will fade in direct sunlight. Keep crystals away from heat sources and prolonged sunlight exposure.

•  Chemical Exposure

Avoid exposing crystals to chemicals such as perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products as they can damage the stone

•    Natural Variations 

Crystals are natural and may have imperfections or variations in color, which are part of their beauty.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your crystals and natural stones remain energetically vibrant and aesthetically pleasing for years to come. Each stone has its own personality and care requirements, so treating them with respect and understanding will enhance your connection with them.

Not for Internal Use

Crystals and natural stones are primarily used for their metaphysical properties, healing energies, and aesthetic appeal. It's crucial to understand that they are not intended for internal consumption due to several reasons:

• Toxicity Concerns

 Many crystals contain trace elements and minerals that can be toxic or harmful if ingested. These elements are safe when handled properly and used externally but can pose health risks if taken internally.

• Chemical Reactions

 Some stones may react with body fluids or medications if ingested, potentially causing adverse effects.

•  Digestive Issues

Swallowing crystals or stones can lead to serious digestive problems, including obstruction or damage to the digestive tract.

•  Lack of Therapeutic Benefit

 Crystals and stones are believed to work through energy interaction and resonance rather than physical ingestion. Their healing properties are harnessed through external contact, meditation, or placement in one’s environment.

•  Traditional Practices

 In various cultures and holistic practices, crystals are used externally for healing and spiritual purposes. There’s no historical or scientific basis for ingesting them.

For these reasons, it’s essential to use crystals and natural stones responsibly and as intended—by placing them on the body, in one's environment, or holding them during meditation. If you have any doubts about how to use crystals safely, consult with knowledgeable practitioners or sources to ensure you enjoy their benefits without risk.
