Moonlight Is the Gentlest Cleansing Method
Moonlight clears and recharges without water, smoke or touching the stone, making it safe for almost every crystal, including soft or delicate ones.
Step-by-Step
- Choose the night—full moon is strongest for release and recharge; new moon for setting intentions.
- Gently wipe dust from each stone first.
- Place them on a natural surface or windowsill where moonlight reaches them (direct outside light is ideal, a windowsill works).
- Leave them overnight and collect before strong morning sun to prevent fading.
- Retrieve, set a fresh intention, and return them to their place.
What to Avoid
- Prolonged sun fades amethyst, rose quartz and fluorite—collect them early.
- Protect outdoor stones from dew if a stone is not water-safe.
