Why should I cleanse my crystals with Selenite?

Cleansing and charging crystals is essential for removing stagnant energy and keeping them fresh. After using crystals for a while, particularly ones that absorb negativity like black tourmaline, their energy can become blocked. If protective stones store too much external energy, then their power begins to dwindle. You don't want that.

It's also important to cleanse crystals immediately after buying them. Free them from the energy that they may have picked up on their journey to you. It's worth remembering that crystals are millions of years old and they've been mined, exported, transported to a store, and then potentially picked up and viewed by tens, if not hundreds, of people before finding their way to you.

Using crystals to cleanse other crystals is one technique of many. Because of Selenite's self-cleansing properties, it's qualified to recharge other natural stones. There are only a handful of crystals that are capable of this, and while a lot of people choose clear quartz, most experts would agree that Selenite is the best fit for the job.
