Like anything else, crystals and stones like to be treated in a manner that is respectful and loving.
They enjoy being in plain sight where they can reflect their light and radiate
their beauty.
When transporting stones or traveling with them it is best to have them
individually wrapped so
they don't become damaged or chipped (unless they are small tumbled stones). Small satin, silk,
leather, velvet or cotton pouches are excellent carrying cases
for stones.
Unless crystals and stones are being used directly in healing practices
they will usually not
need to be cleansed. It is suggested, however, that when crystals are first purchased
or received, they be cleansed to clear any vibrations they may have accumulated in their travels.
Cleansing also resets their vibration to be receptive to the new home and owner. It is best
to cleanse new stones by submerging them in sea salt for at least three
hours before using them for healing or personal purposes.
