I have been asked many times the best way to store healing crystals — it is actually a really great question as it shows the customer really does care about their new crystal and wants to ensure it has a happy, positive energy.
One of the key things to remember about healing crystals is that they are mainly found deep inside the earth where they have in some cases already survived intense environments. It is in their nature to be tough by how they are formed, which means most are very strong and can be happy in some extreme settings.
I love all of my healing crystals and I am drawn to all of the ones I sell in my crystal shop in Milton Keynes. I only sell crystals that I admire and want the best available for my customers. I believe that healing crystals should be for all and try to have a range for all pockets — browse our tumbled stones collection for affordable options starting from under £1.
Personally, I keep my crystals both in my shop and at home in full view because I love having them out and enjoying their beauty. They work beautifully with your energy when they are out on display. Some people, however, may use them for work as crystal healers and may need to keep their working crystals cleansed and in closed cabinets or boxes until use.
Can I Keep Crystals in Sunlight?
The only crystal that I choose to keep out of the sun is Amethyst. This lovely crystal comes in colours from an incredible deep purple to almost a light lavender and even pink. Amethyst will actually fade in natural sunlight so careful positioning is key. Read our post on why we love amethyst crystal to discover more of its properties. Most other crystals are fine in sunlight — always a good question to ask is "how do I look after my crystals?" when you purchase.
Which Crystals Need Special Care?
Be careful with softer crystals and try to store them on their own, rather than in baskets or bowls with lots of other crystals, as they may rub against harder crystals and this could damage their surface. Selenite is one such crystal, as are polished crystals like rainbow fluorite.
Crystals like to be in the company of all their earthly crystal friends, so you can store crystals that are charged with the same intention together.
Remember that, generally speaking, whatever you do you can't go too far wrong as it is more about good intention anyway. (Please keep Amethyst out of direct sun.)
