This is a matter of choice. Since the most important aspect of clearing is intention, whatever you do will work. However, there are ways that I prefer. I wash my crystals under warm water with dish soap ( Simply because it is handy.) As the water runs over the crystal I mentally see any old energy being removed from the crystal. I give it love and ask for it to be renewed to it's full power. I do not suggest using salt or salt water as it may pit certain soft stones. This isn't rocket science so don't worry about doing it right. As long as you are in your heart and all is for the highest good you will do just fine.

We suggest that you just take some time to play and look around at the crystals on the site. Look for the ones that "sparkle" out to you. They are calling you! You can also buy our Beginner Crystal Guidebook here. I find the books great for night time reading! Need help picking your first crystal? Check this out.

I think so. A particular stone will have the innate energy of that material, however the better a stone you have, the more clear the energy will be. I always suggest that you get the best quality you can afford. However, any stone will be better than none.

Some stones are not naturally terminated, broken or just otherwise are not directing the energy of the stone. These will direct the natural energy of the stone better when it is cut and polished in a way that will move the energy in a flowing manner. Most people prefer a natural stone if it accommodates the natural flow of energy. The shapes of the crystal determine how the energy is is projected out in the world.

There are way too many ways to go into here. I suggest you buy our Beginner Crystal Guide or check out our blog posts on how to use crystals!

A crystal will activate an energy center in your body. If that center has been blocked, when it is activated it may create an uneasy feeling. This will eventually go away. This feeling is actually a good thing, it lets you know your crystals are working. The pain and/or discomfort you feel are supreesed feelings and emotions that must be released in order to acheive higher states of consciousness. No pain. No gain.

YES! The love crystals! Just make sure they don't see the crystals as food. Plants are a fan of crystals too!

Of course! I highly recommend wearing crystals, especially after spell work. This is a great way to get the crystal energy. As long as the stone is in your energy field, it will work. Why not share the beauty of crystals with others by wearing them!

YES! They love company!

Be careful. I would not leave any crystals or minerals with color in them in the sun for any extended period of time. The sun will make most things fade, and crystals are no exception.
