Cleansing Stones
• Leave it in sunlight or moonlight for a specific period of time.
*Put a small mirror underneath to increase efficiency of purification.
• Bury it in a small dish of salt for one to three days. Salt is a natural purifier.
Never use salt to cleanse a stone that has iron in it, such as hematite, or if it
is set in metal, for the metal will rust.
• Bury it in a small dish of dirt for a measured period of time. Earth will accom-
plish the same purpose in the same way that salt does, though it may take longer.
• Immerse the stone in water for a measured period of time. Moving water will
purify it faster, although leaving the stone in a small bowl of water for a longer
period will work as well. You can add a small pinch of salt to the dish of water
to speed the process, unless you are cleansing a stone set in metal or a stone
with iron content, such as hematite.
