Just like us, crystals carry energy — so it’s important to cleanse them from time to time to clear anything heavy or unwanted. And don’t worry, we like to keep things simple here. Let’s walk through how to cleanse your crystals using Selenite.
Why Selenite?
You might be thinking, “But isn’t Selenite a crystal?”
You’re absolutely right — it is. But the beautiful thing about Selenite is that it’s known for its natural cleansing and purifying properties. It’s one of the few crystals that can cleanse other crystals without needing to be cleansed itself.
It’s gentle, powerful, and perfect for everyday crystal care.
How to cleanse your crystals with Selenite
Step-by-step
1. Choose your crystals
Pick the crystals you feel need a refresh — maybe they’ve been used a lot, or the energy feels a little off.
2. Place them on or around your Selenite
You can use any form of Selenite:
bowls
plates
towers
slabs
wands
We love a Selenite bowl, but there are no rules — just do what feels right for you.
3. Let the Selenite do its work
Selenite is known for absorbing heavy energy and releasing it upward.
Simply leave your crystals resting on or near it and allow the Selenite to gently cleanse them.
It really is that simple.
4. Add affirmations (optional)
If you’d like to add intention to your cleansing ritual, here are some gentle affirmations you can use:
“I cleanse my energy and welcome peace.”
“I am open to fresh, positive energy.”
“I release the old and make space for the new.”
A little tip from us
If a crystal feels particularly heavy, leave it on Selenite overnight or for a full day.
Trust your intuition — you’ll know when it feels refreshed again.
We use Selenite often in our own home, especially when the energy feels a bit off or when we’re inviting in something new and positive.
