Crystal Maintenance and Care Crystals and Gems are such an integral part of our lives that it is imperative that we know how to cleanse, program and utilize them to our and their peak efficiency and advantage. During this column we will address each of these as well as many other aspects of gemstone alchemy.

Some of the enhancements that grace our existence are so much a habitual part of our life and life-style that we don’t even think of them as crystals or magical in any way, Examples of this are wedding rings which are ritual tools of commitment, birthstones which are amulets of well being and health and everyday pieces of jewelry that are amulets of beauty and enchantment. Any adornment that is comprised of stones and metals, precious and semiprecious has an energetic signature and resonance and affects the wearer accordingly. Most talismatic, amulet and adornment pieces act as shields against outside energy interference although when used consciously they may also be used as am amplifier of our own energy. This is one of the reasons that the crown jewels of monarchy have such significance and value, they hold the energetic resonance of all the previous wearer.

We can create our own crown jewels by consciously caring for and wearing our jewelry.

Using crystals and gemstones consciously is a great enhancement to our well-being, however there are many of you who simply wear your pieces for adornment and fashion accessories. Whether or not this is the case, the piece still has an energetic and physical effect on the wear.

Many times a person will have a favorite piece of jewelry that they will wear non stop for a time and then simply take it off and never wear it again, most say well I just got tired of it, maybe... or more likely you have an energetically overloaded piece of jewelry sorely in need of cleansing. If it isn’t cleansed it will at best cease to be attractive and desirable and at worst remove itself from service by getting lost or breaking.

How to cleanse your jewelry and gemstones.

Cleansing is not the same as cleaning. Cleaning is removal of physical dirt and soil from the piece to enhance its visual beauty, cleansing is the removal of energetic debris to create optimal energetic performance.

DO NOT USE SALT OR SALT WATER!!!! DO NOT USE TAP WATER. It is harsh, harmful to the energy of the stone and weakens its effectiveness for future use.

To cleanse a crystal that has been used in daily wear and adornment, the simplest method is to immerse it in water from a free running source such as rain, river , lake, stream water in a glass dish for 24 hours.

This will clear negativity and unwanted energy signatures and restore it to its natural energetic frequency.

If a piece has been severely used, or if water from a free source is not available, the other method is to bury it, return it to the earth for 72 or more hours and the Mother will restore its natural settings.

Whenever you have used crystals or worn your jewelry and adornments in severe circumstances, it should be buried to recharge and realign its frequency.

There is a kit available that uses a platinum monatomic water that will clear a stone or jewelry piece in moments and will help to clear your energy as well when you are programing, more about this in an upcoming article or contact me directly for further information.

What if I have used salt in the past?

Many of you have read in a book or been verbally advised to use sea salt to cleanse your stones and talisman.

The only time I would recommend salt as a cleanser is if you have had a very violent and traumatic experience and the piece is extremely rare and expensive then salt would be appropriate to attempt to restore balance to the piece. Salt is very harsh, it not only weakens the frequency of the piece it also prevents the piece from being able to take on new programing. If you have used salt.....

You may attempt to restore its vibrational frequency in the following manner....

Soak the piece in water from a free running source for 24 hours, them bury it for 72 hours in the earth wrapped in natural fibre and finally to recharge it leave it outside in full sun and moon energy for a full 28 day lunar cycle.

This will restore the stone to its original signature so that it can work at full efficiency.

Gemstone Disposal Sometimes despite our best efforts, a stone talisman or adornment cannot be restored or repaired, these are living entities and should be disposed of with respect and dignity. I was taught to wrap the piece in natural fiber such as silk or cotton and bury it. Return it to the earth to be absorbed and reused by nature.

The Many Faces of Quar t z Recently I was doing a show and a client came with a craystal and wanted to know whether it was male or female and how to distinguish the gender. While i feel that this plays up humanities tendancy to lean toward separation it is helpful to haave distinct names for different crystals based on their functions. In this section I have attempted to cover the basic crystals.

Double Terminated Cryatal Multi-functional crystals that move energy outward in either direction from the center. they are excellent for sending and recieving energy and information and energy.

Try placing them on the end of a wand or as a bridge for crystal layout work.

Channeling crystals These crystals are recognized by a large seven sided face located in the center of the front of one face. there is a triangular face that can be seen through this face at the top The seven represents the connection to the spiritual realm and is a connection to higher minnd and spirit guides.

Healed Crystals These crystals have been damaged due to earth changes and over a period of time they heal themselves and reform around the break. The energy of these formationshelpps one to heal rejuvinate and regenerate physically and spiritually.

Manifestation Crystal This formation of quartz represents the creation of desires from within. It is characterszed by a fully formed crystal growing from within a larger single quartz.

This fromaation is often called a baby but the difference is that with the baby the smaller crystal is usually just attached to the larger not growing from within.

A manifestaation cryaatl can be used for fertility because it is a representation of comming from within the laarger crystal.

Record Keeper Record Keeper Crystals These maagical formations are thought to hold information that was encoded many years ago wen Atlalteans were forced to leave and had no place to deposit the vast informaation that they had ammassed regarding the use of crystals. To retrieve this informaation one needs only to meditate with the stone, chances are the informaation will be subtle and will reveal itself over several days following the meditation.

Window Crystals The window cryatal is identified by a laarge diamond shaped “wimdow� located on one of the faces of the crystal. The formation of the foour sides of the diamond on the window represent the transmission of informaation between the relms of intellectual activity. It helps develope clarity of mind. They open windows through which one can see beyond boundaries into the essence of situations and self.

Laser Quartz Laser Crystals are thought to have been formed by thought projecttion by other planetary beings who sought to impart tool to the terrestial inhaaabitants.

These crystals connect inner and outer space. They contain informaation regaaarding physical healing technologies and were once use in the healing temples of lemuria.
