Cleaning & Rejuvenating Gemstones
physical cleaning
Durability is a gemstones ability to withstand water, heat, and chemicals. Gemstones durability determines the correct way in which to clean your therapeutic gemstone necklace.
You should always consult with a gemstone specialist on which type of physical cleaning is appropriate for each of your gemstones.
With colored gemstones, gentile cleaning is always best. Some safe cleaning methods include:
- warm water, natural, mild, detergent-free soap and a soft toothbrush
- Lint-free gemcloth
Remember to always lay necklaces tied with silk on a flat surface to completely dry before using.
energetic cleaning
Personal relationship with your gemstones has a profound efficacy on their ability to energetically impress upon the subconscious mind their time-honored purpose.
Comprehension of cosmic laws that each gemstone represents can bring about physical, mental and emotional healing on a higher level when intimate time and care are given.
Empyrean avoids dogmatic practices regarding energetic cleaning of gemstones. Rather, we encourage you follow intuitive guidance by exploring what best resonates with you and your gemstones.
