Spring cleaning: discharging, cleaning, and recharging gemstones

It goes without saying that treatment stones used for wellness and massage applications, which are used for several clients in succession, must be hygienically cleaned of skin residues and other contaminants. Even wellness stones for personal use, such as Yoni Eggs, must of course be cleaned and stored appropriately.

After a hike, we clean our hiking boots as a matter of course – so that dirt does not attack the material, they last a long time and feel good again on the next tour. Gemstones should be cleaned in the same way after use. However, gemstones and minerals also store information through their use, e.g. as massage or Flat Stones, which represents a kind of "energetic pollution".

All gemstones, palm stones, pocket stones, and stones that have been used for massage and wellness treatments are subject to this "invisible ballast," which originates from previous uses and the environment in which the stone was located.

Information absorbed by stones is definitely perceptible! Who would want to be treated with a stone that still has information attached to it from previous use? That is why cleansing on a spiritual and energetic level is essential. There are tried and tested cleansing methods available to free the stones from attached foreign information.

Tips for the mechanical and material cleansing of gemstones

When you have purchased a new stone, it should first be thoroughly cleaned and washed. The simplest and most effective method for discharging stones is running water. Hold the stone under the water jet for at least one minute and rub the surface vigorously.

Gradually, the resistance will increase and the movement of your fingers on the surface will be slowed down. This indicates that the stone has been discharged and that some of the immaterial contamination has already been removed.

If the stone is very dirty, use an organic dishwashing detergent or organic washing lotion and brush the stone. Caution! Water-soluble stones, such as Halite and Ulexite, must not be subjected to this treatment.

Cleaning agents should be avoided with opals, as they can alter the water content responsible for the opalescence and make the stone dull and cloudy.

Tips for energetically cleansing gemstones

Placing stones on an amethyst segment or amethyst druse gently removes foreign energies and information.

To cleanse on amethyst, simply place the stones in question in an amethyst druse or on a piece of amethyst druse. The energy radiating from the crystal tips penetrates the stones lying on top of it with the "cleansing information," so that all foreign information is dissolved.

If the stones have been discharged beforehand under running water, two to three hours are sufficient. If this is not possible (e.g., with stone necklaces), eight to twelve hours are the minimum required. It can also be longer; there is no such thing as "too much" here!

The most important things to know about cleansing with amethyst

+ Timing: Before using a stone for the first time and always after taking it off – or whenever you feel it is necessary!

+ Duration: After prior discharge, two to three hours, otherwise eight to twelve hours, or longer if desired.

+ Suitable for all stones except Amber: Amber is a fossilized resin. Information is anchored in it more firmly than in other stones. It is therefore best to discharge it and then place it in the midday sun for several days. This is the only way to largely remove foreign information from Amber.

Hematite also has an energetically cleansing effect on frequently used jewelry and wellness stones. To discharge the stones, simply place them on a selection of hematite tumbled stones or hematite chips or cover them with them.

Charging gemstones with Rock Crystal

After thorough material cleaning, Rock Crystal tumbled stones or Rock Crystal charging steps are particularly well suited for regenerating and recharging intensively used stones. In principle, any energy supply will charge a stone. Ambient heat, sunlight, or body heat also give the stone new energy.

When charging a stone, new foreign information often enters it. For example, when we warm it in our hands, it already absorbs a lot of information from us. For this reason, charging with Rock Crystal groups is often preferred.

Rock Crystal is a neutral quartz (only if it is purified itself, of course!) that always supports and strengthens what already exists. It has long been known that Rock Crystal enhances the properties of other stones without changing them. Unlike amethyst, however, Rock Crystal does not have a cleansing effect. Its information is completely neutral: "Be who you are!"

Smudging with incense and other aromatic substances is an effective method known in virtually all cultures for clearing and cleansing rooms and objects. Smudging supports every cleansing process and also helps to clear stones of adhering negative energies.

Cleaning gemstones with salt

Since salt cleanses on both the physical and energetic levels, it is also suitable for cleansing and discharging stones. Although soaking in a water-salt solution is suitable for quartz and insensitive minerals, some stones, such as opals, turquoise, and Amber, are damaged by such a salt bath. The indirect method is much better.

To do this, put enough salt in a slightly larger glass or ceramic bowl (please no plastic!), make a hollow in the pile of salt and place a smaller container in it, into which you put the stone, necklace or piece of jewelry to be discharged. This is protected from direct contact with the salt.

After leaving this arrangement for a few hours or overnight, the salt will have gently removed all energetic impurities from the stone. Our natural Alexander salt is particularly well suited for energetic cleansing.

Cleaning gemstones not only benefits the next client, but also the user themselves. Masseurs, therapists, and other users often work with different people and issues for several hours a day.

Uncleaned stones can feel "heavy" energetically or influence one's own work. Cleaning restores the stone to its original state – clear, unburdened, and ready for the next treatment.
