Cleansing gemstones: Crystals and gemstones, like people, can absorb energy from their surroundings. It is important to cleanse and recharge them when you first acquire them or after working with them to clear negative energies. This can be done by several methods. My favorite is to begin by holding the stone and thinking bright and pleasant thoughts and place the stone or gems in a dish (preferable not a synthetic one) that can withstand the elements. Place the dish outside calling upon the four elements of Nature: Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Leave the dish outside for a day and a night. Think of them often while they are outside and how the weather (Nature) is cleansing the gems or stones. For stones that have been used in a dramatic or extremely negative cleansing, you may want to bury them for a day and a night for a more thorough cleansing.
You may also use water to cleanse the gems. Hold the stone under a flow of water and visualize love, healing, and cleansing. For air cleansing, hold the gems in a waft of negative-cleansing incense or smudge them clean. For fire cleansing, leave the stones exposed to the sun for a day.
To keep your stones charged, store them in a pyramid.
