| Cleaning Crystals in Water |
Question: Hi, sorry for the bother but I watched a few of your lovely videos this a.m. and in one of them you said some gemstones cannot be submerged in water and to contact you and ask if we didn't know. I'm so sorry, I googled it and can't find it.
Can Prehnite be cleansed by submerging in water overnight? That's my most important question as I acquired some but haven't been able to work with it because I didn't know how to cleanse it. If not can it be washed in tap water with natural soap?
My other question is Rose Quartz: right now I have a batch of rose quartz in a glass container with spring water and sea salt soaking for several hours. Is it ok?
Thank you very much for your help & lovely video instructions and have a great weekend!
Answer: Hi, thank you for your email and for watching our crystal healing video tutorials.
If your Prehnite stones are tumbled smooth they will be okay in water. However, if they are raw formations, you may want to cleanse them using another method like dry brown rice, dry sea salt, incense, etc. When in doubt, we like to leave crystals out of water.
Rose Quartz, along with others in the Quartz family, will do fine in water. Again, if there are any delicate points, occlusions or formations on the stones, you will want to be cautious and leave them out of water.
Running them under tap water or a natural stream of water will be sufficient. You do not need soap. If there is something physically dirty on the stones, you may want to rub them with some natural soap, but again be aware of the fragility of the stone.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at idigcrystals@gmail.com.
