When/Why should I purify a gemstone?
After buying a gem stone, using it many times, or just thinking that it feels dull and lifeless. The gem may be filled with negative and unwanted energies. These methods help purify your gemstone to be pure and feeling right once again.
There are many ways to cleanse a stone. Which method you choose should be based upon the type of stone, how much time you have, and what tools are readily available to you. However you feel you should cleanse your stone is the correct way.
Natural forces, such as the elements of nature (fire, water, earth, and air), the sun, and the moon are very effective. Stones respond to the intentions of their users, so it is important that while cleansing your stone, no matter which method you use, have faith that your stone is going to to be cleansed, and hold the intention to purify your stone.
Dig a little hole in your yard, and put the gemstone in. Let it sit there for an entire day. After that day, take it out, and it should be rejuvenated. Place a little marker in the area you dug it so you don’t lose it. You can put soil in a pot, and leave it in there, but it must be nature’s soil, and not store-bought tampered gardening soil.
The slightly harder, but not that much way:
Hold the pack or sticks of smudge in your hand, and light the tips of it. When it catches on fire, slowly fan it to extinguish the fire, but also to let it smolder. Place is on the holder, and hold the gemstone over the smoke given off by the incense for as long as you feel it is necessary. Now, note that this is dealing with fire, so always handle fire safely, and be careful around the fire, and the smoldering leaves.
Salt-water (an ocean is fine)
A mesh bag (if you’re using the ocean)}
Place the gemstone in a mesh bag, and rinse it in the ocean for several minutes. If the ocean is not an option, you can just leave it in a glass of water with a pinch of sea salt. CAUTION: salt water can damage the finish on some stones, water can damage soft stones, and sea salt without water can ruin a stones electro magnetic field.
Let the gemstone sit in bright sunlight for at least an hour. Some gems may be fragile to the sun, as they have been molded under the ground with no exposure to sun. Also, exposure to sunlight may fade a gems colour. A simpler method, and more fragile, is to let the stone sit under a full moon for an entire night, or any other moon phase for a longer amount of time.
Leave the stone under a glass pyramid for several days. The energy produced by a pyramid has the ability to neutralize any negative energy that is placed within it.
A bowl of crystal chips OR a large crystal quartz cluster
Place the stone on large clear quartz cluster, or bowl of crystal chips for at least one full day. Clear quartz is excellent for magnifying, focusing, and, in this case, transmuting energy.
The ability to breathe through your mouth
Hold the stone to your heart while inhaling. Then bring the stone to your mouth and exhale your breath onto it. Repeat several times, always keeping in mind your intention of cleansing the stone of all negative energies. Your breath combined with your intention, is a powerful enough force to cleanse a stone of negative energy.
Sound (a personal favorite)
A bell, a tuning fork, or a chime
Make a sound using a bell, chime, or tuning fork. Repeat the sound until the stone’s energies feel cleansed.
Pass the stone through the fire of the candle. Go fast and swiftly as to not burn yourself, and as always, be careful with handling fire. The fire burns away any negative energy.
