Recharge and purify amethyst in order to preserve its benefits and virtues

 

The purification of amethyst is essential to enjoy all its benefits at all times on all levels (physical, mental and spiritual).

Several techniques exist to purify amethyst.

The first and simplest technique is to purify the amethyst with water, the goal being to absorb negative energies and transfer them to the water.

Take a bowl and fill it with fresh or demineralised water (avoid tap water). Soak the amethyst stone for at least 3 hours in the bowl.

Once the time has elapsed, empty the bowl outside your home and finally, take care to wipe the stone and the setting gently with the softest cloth possible.

The second technique you can use is the incense technique. It is indeed suitable for cleaning an amethyst from a jewel. Burn the incense and pass the smoke over the stone. Incense is known to bring good vibrations, good energies and is widely used by Indians during rituals, prayers...

The third technique to purify amethyst is the use of sea salt. Indeed, you may already know it, but sea salt is already known and used to purify one's home to chase away a negative entity, but also to improve one's physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Thanks to the hardness of 7 of the amethyst stone which makes it very resistant, this gem does not risk anything in contact with sea salt, on the contrary, amethyst supports the effects of salt very well. Fill a bowl with 2 cups of spring water and a cup of sea salt.

You will immerse the amethyst stone in the bowl of salt water for a few hours, then take it out and wipe it gently so as not to damage it or the setting of the jewel. Of course, you will throw the water outside your home so that the energies are away from you and your home.

If you wear your amethyst jewelry all the time, it is best to purify it once a week or month as per your possibilities to preserve its properties.

Recharge the amethyst stone by exposing it to moonlight but avoid the full moon. Indeed, the very strong radiation of the moon will damage the stone by altering its color.
