What are crystals?

Crystals are tangible, physical forms of the Earth’s energy. Millions of years old, crystals carry the natural life force of the earth.

So how can we harness their energy? Start by wearing them or placing them in your home. It’s quite fine to start by picking a stone just because you absolutely love the color. But keep in mind every crystal type has a different purpose, so it’s a good idea to do a bit of research to pick stones that correspond with the benefits you’re seeking – love, happiness, mindfulness, creativity, etc.

Yes, some crystals are pretty and sparkly, but don't go touching someone else's crystal. Energy transfers. It's totally okay to admire from afar. Here are ways to clean crystals of your own.

• Burn sage, palo santo, or an incense and let the smoke run over them to purify.
• Bury them in dirt, even if it's a houseplant. Let them sit for 24 hours to recharge.
• Place your crystal outside in the sun or moon. Some crystals cannot be in the sun for too long, so make sure you research which ones to leave out. Placing them out during a full moon is the best and when the moon is its at its strongest.  
• Putting crystal under running water or natural water sources is also an effective way to cleanse them. 
• Natural herbs like 
• Sea salt, Himalayan Salt, Rock Salt
