CRYSTAL CARE
Caring for your crystals, rocks and minerals.
A little thoughtful care helps preserve the natural beauty of your collection. Each crystal, rock and mineral is different – some are delicate, porous or sensitive to water and sunlight.
Whether you display your pieces or use them in personal rituals, choose a care method that suits the individual stone. Check the product’s care information before you begin.
Know what your stone needs
Crystals, rocks and minerals are naturally diverse, and each has its own characteristics. Before using water, sunlight or other methods, take a moment to check whether your particular stone is suitable.
Some minerals are delicate, porous or water-sensitive, while others may fade in strong sunlight. A little research helps you choose the most appropriate care for each piece.
Water cleansing
Only use water when your crystal’s care information confirms it is suitable. Gently rinse the piece with clean water, then dry it carefully with a soft cloth.
Avoid soaking your crystals. If you are unsure whether a piece is water-safe, choose a dry method instead.
Smoke cleansing
Passing a crystal gently through incense smoke is a traditional cleansing ritual that avoids direct contact with water.
Use a heatproof holder in a well-ventilated space, keeping your crystal away from the flame. Never leave burning incense unattended.
Moonlight cleansing
Moonlight is a popular choice for a quiet cleansing ritual, particularly around a full moon.
Place your crystal in a dry, secure spot near a window. If you choose to leave it outside, protect it from rain and dew, and bring it indoors before direct sunlight reaches it.
Earth connection
For an earth-inspired ritual, place your crystal beside a plant or on a clean, dry natural surface.
Avoid burying delicate, porous or water-sensitive pieces, as soil and moisture may damage them.
EVERYDAY CARE TIPS
EVERY ONE IS DIFFERENT
From delicate clusters to polished stones, every piece deserves thoughtful care. A few simple habits can help protect its natural colour, texture and form, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
Use these everyday tips as a starting point, and check the care information for your individual piece before cleaning.
Check before using water
Care requirements vary between crystals and minerals.
Choose a sheltered display spot
Keep pieces away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and damp conditions.
Handle gently
Support delicate points and clusters, and avoid excessive handling of fragile or porous surfaces.
Keep cleaning simple
Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive materials. Use a soft, dry cloth or gentle brush where suitable.
Store thoughtfully
Keep pieces separate to help prevent scratches, chips and knocks.
