Choosing & Caring for Your Gemstones & Minerals

When selecting a gemstone or mineral, trust your intuition – often, the stone you are most drawn to is the one that offers the energy or support you currently need. You can also choose based on the traditional properties and meanings associated with each stone. Once you’ve welcomed a gemstone into your life, remember that many benefit from regular cleansing (such as with smoke from smudge sticks, moonlight, or sound) and some from charging (like in sunlight or moonlight, depending on the stone) to maintain their vibrant energy. Please research the specific needs of your chosen stones, as some are more delicate than others.
