Some people like to keep their crystals in a black velvet or silk bag, which can help prevent them from absorbing negativity from around them. Some people like to leave their crystals in a bowl so that they may look at them, and feel their energies as they walk past.   A good idea for storing tumbled stones is to purchase a box with compartments, and place each crystal in it’s own labelled compartment.  This is particularly useful if you have difficulty remembering the names of the crystals.  You could make a black velvet bag to slip the box into if you desire. Or buy a small notepad, and when you get a new crystal, trace around it and write a brief description of the colour/texture beside it.  That way, if you forget, you can try matching it with the appropriate shape and description.  If you have crystals that you do not remember the name of, and still wish to use them, you can use the properties of the colour of the crystal.

I personally believe that crystals don’t normally hold negative energy.  I believe that crystals can gather negative energy from around them, but do not store it within them, they instead neutralise it, and send it out as positive energy.  Being created from the Earth, I believe they contain Earth energies that enable them to work in this way.   However I do believe that if they have negative energy focused into them (being held by a particularly negative person, told that they are an ugly crystal etc.) they may require help neutralising the negative energy and cleansing can help.  If you constantly work with the same crystal it may also need to be cleansed so that it can ‘reset’ itself, and work more effectively.  I believe that you will feel when your crystals require cleansing, and when you feel it is required, cleanse them.   Many people do not share my view on crystals.  There is no right or wrong way to work with crystals, you have to do what you feel is right, and what works well for you.  Some people feel that they need to cleanse their crystals often, and do not allow people to touch their crystals.  If this is what you feel is right, then it is for you ? If you wish to cleanse your crystals, there are several ways of doing so…

• Bury the crystals in the earth for 2 days.
• Wash the crystals in seawater.
• Wash the crystals in a flowing river.
• Leave the crystals in a bowl of water in a thunderstorm.
• Leave the crystals in the moonlight overnight.
• Leave the crystals in the sunlight all day.
• Soak the crystals in a bowl of salt water for 2 days.
• Place the crystals in a bowl of lavender flowers for 2 days.
• Place the crystal on another crystal.  (Clusters work well)
• Hold your hands over the crystals and imagine purifying light over them.
