Sometimes a stone or crystal you are strongly drawn to
doesn't feel good, or a stone that felt good previously doesn't feel good any longer. The stone or crystal may need to be cleared. Clearing is necessary before using
any stone for healing. The clearer the energy of a healing stone, the more
powerful it is. Crystals and healing gemstones need to be cleared as soon as
they are purchased as well as clearing after every healing. A cleared, ready
crystal feels positive and bright, tingly and cold to the touch. A crystal that
needs clearing may feel hot, heavy or drained. There are a number of ways to
effectively clear crystals and gemstones.
Sea Salt

Sea salt is the most traditional purifying agent in crystal healing. It dispels any sort of disease and negativity, and is a
physical and psychic disinfectant. Sea salt is highly recommended for the
initial cleansing of a new healing stone and for any time a stone is overloaded
with negative energy. Salt can be mixed with water or used dry. To use salt
water, mix a tablespoon of sea salt in a glass or ceramic cup of cold water. Do
not use plastic or metal containers. Place the stones in the solution and allow
them to soak overnight. To use dry salt, place the sea salt in a glass or
non-plastic container and bury the crystals with the points facing downward
into the salt. Again, leave overnight. Sometimes a stone may take longer to
clear, especially if it has been used in a deep, intense healing. If this is
the case, leave another day or two in the sea salt. When clearing gemstone
necklaces it is best to use the dry sea salt method. Be sure to use sea salt
only, table salt contains aluminum and other chemicals. For those who live by
the ocean, salt water can be brought from the beach in a jar, or gently wash
them directly in the ocean.
Moonlight
Moonlight is another way of clearing your gemstones. Simply
place outside from the Full to the New Moon. The amount of time used varies
with the sensitivity of the healer and the amount of material from which the
stone needs cleansing. Try hanging your gemstone necklaces in a tree where the
moonlight can cleanse them.
Now your healing crystal gemstones are ready to heal anew!

I love these methods, and I also love to use sage and sound. I use a bell or my voice (high notes only!) to clear my crystals and it works really well for me!
