How to take care of your semi-precious stone jewelry
Your routine should always include 4 steps:
Purification
Semi-precious stones can be very useful to us in various aspects of our lives – they can protect us against negative energies, attract good luck or even improve memory and intelligence.
When we use semi-precious stones or crystals for their various healing or protective powers, they absorb and transform negative vibrations and energies and transform them into positive energy, calming us.
When these are used frequently, they do not have the time necessary to purify themselves. If we do not purify them, they become saturated and lose their effectiveness.
When
- Before the first use, to discharge them from the energies that they could have accumulated during their handling by the different parties between the source of the buyer;
-
When they lose their shine;
-
After their use for group support or their handling by several individuals;
-
After their use following a tragic event from which you wanted to get rid of negative energies.

Special features
It should be noted that some stones do not need to be purified, as is the case with kyanite and citrine.
Additionally, some crystals can be used to purify others. This is the case for quartz crystal and carnelian. Once used for purification of other crystals, be sure to cleanse them.
Recharge
We use semi-precious stones in our daily lives to cure us of various ailments, protect us or improve certain aspects of our life. So that the stones making up your bracelet can act to their full potential, you must make sure to recharge them.
These same powers we seek are given to stones through light and vibration.
How
Place your stones in the sunlight for an hour. However, pale colored stones prefer the gentle rays of the full moon.
You can also speak or sing, or use other stones very charged with energy such as quartz crystal, kyanite or carnelian.
Activation
Activating the stones allows you to tune into them and tune them to your energy.
When
Always remember to recharge your stones after their activation.
How
Hold, roll between your hands or spend time with your stones.
Programming
Semi-precious stones all have their own unique effects. Despite everything, it can be interesting to program them and assign them an intention. This process will help you connect to the energy of your crystal or stones.
When
After purification, activation and recharge of your stones.
How
Decide what your stone is for and visualize it. You can meditate, place the stone on one of the 7 chakras according to your needs and the intention you wish to attribute to your stone.
Storage
Many crystals are fragile or crumbly. On the other hand, the tumbled stones that make up your jewelry are more solid, thanks to the treatments they received during their transformation.
However, we advise you to store your jewelry in a bag, away from other types of crystals.
