If you are a fan of crystals (I am SUUUUUUUCCCHHHH a big fan!!) then you should know that as much as crystal energy can effect your energy in a positive way, over time, the crystal also absorbs your energy or the energy of the people around you.
So, over time, the energy of the crystal can become 'dirty' or 'clouded'.
Hence, you need to give the poor lil thing a shower after a period of time. How many times a month should you clean your crystal depends on how many times do you wear it, how you feel and what kind of state the crystal is in. For mine, since i wear it on a daily basis, I cleanse them about once a week. OK, fine. Sometimes I forget.
I forgot to clean mine last week so, here I am, giving them a bath in sea salt solution under the sun.
Always use natural salts as opposed to the usual ones. I know sea salt and lake salt are more expensive but haiyo, these things cannot be frugal about. That is, if you believe in it lah. If you don't, then just use normal salt to rid it of bacteria and stuff.
Bacteria and dirt is also considered dirty, right?
Anyway, the green crystal is malachite which is getting quite rare these days. I love it because it looks a bit like Saturn with those white rings around it! Absolutely heart this crystal. Close-up of the Malachite crystal is like this>>
The blue one is Lapis Lazuli which is also very pretty! It's dark blue with little golden patches in it. The more you wear it, the more patches there are. Close up, it looks like this.
The purple one is, by far, the most common one...Amethyst. It's also one of my favorite. Can't upload the amethyst close-up picture but if you are interested, hit Google and find some really nice images.
So, yes. I am a Crazy Crystal Collector!! :-)
Note (9th Aug 2010): TURNS OUT, you will ruin Malachite when it comes in contact with water. FML. Now, the Malachite is so dull in color. So, warning to crystal lovers, do NOT soak Malachite!!
