Crystal Care
Running Water
Hold your crystal under a stream of water such as a river, waterfall, or from the tap for a few minutes.
Salt Water
Leave your crystal to soak in seawater or water mixed with salt. Fill a glass bowl and leave the crystal for anywhere between 1-24 hours, then rinse.
Smoke Cleanse
Pass your crystal through the rising smoke of sacred herbs such as sage, cedar and lavender or incense sticks.
Dry Salt
Half-fill a bowl with sea salt/cooking salt. Place your crystals directly into the salt for between 1-2 hours and then rinse.
Non-Contact Salt
Half-fill a bowl with sea salt/cooking salt. Place a smaller container/shallow glass and half-bury this glass into the salt. Then place your crystals directly into the empty glass for 1-2 hours. (You can also pour water over the crystals.
Sound Vibrations
Play a tuning fork, chime or a Tibetan singing bowl near your crystals, to cleanse your crystal through soft sound vibrations.It is important that the crystals you use are charged when you first buy them and regularly for them to perform at their best. With experience, you’ll be able to feel whether or not your crystals need charging. Some crystals once cleansed feel ‘raring to go’, others still feel ‘flat’, like they need something else.
- For best results: Put your crystals out during the Full Moon, New Moon, Solstice or the Equinox for 24-48 hours to recharge their energy.
- Some crystals are safe to recharge under the sunlight. Read more information under the Crystal Information page
- You can also place your crystals on top of a larger crystal cluster or a crystal platter to recharge. The best crystals to use as a charging station are Selenite and Clear Quartz.
By setting our crystals with positive intentions, we are manifesting the world to return to us the positive life experiences that we seek.
- Sit quietly holding your crystal, relax and initiate circular breathing.
- Set an intention for your crystal silently or aloud. (eg. I am down to earth and divinely connected’)
- And remember– What we think or believe about ourselves and the world, becomes our reality.

Unique by nature
Stones are natural minerals each beautiful and unique in pattern and crystalline composure; therefore no two Stoned Crystals will ever be the same.
Please be aware as natural objects, their appearance can vary from the images shown and they may contain tiny fissures and pits. Please expect to find inclusions and beautiful markings within the crystal itself.
Our designs and crystal cuts are made to show the beauty of a crystalline structure rather than looking like glass. Please be aware that our products a hand-cut so they will never be completely ‘perfect’.
