Cleansing and charging
Cleanse the rock crystal under running water, and in order to charge it expose it to sunlight for two hours.
Before the first use you must cleanse it completely by placing the crystal in a glass or a ceramic bowl and cover it completely with sea salt.
In the absence of sea salt, you can use ordinary table salt.
After letting it sit for 24 hours in salt, the crystal should be rinsed under the stream of tap water.
Only when the crystal has been thoroughly cleansed of all the energies it has accumulated, it is ready for charging and using.
