At the time of filming this video, I wasn't aware of any cultural ties to the usage of white sage, which I am now aware of. It's becoming more widely known that we should stay away from using that, and while I can't go back and take that out of the video, I can tell you tons of other ways to cleanse stones here!
1. Moonlight- You can either lay them outside, on the grass, or on a windowsill. If you don't get direct moonlight, don't worry.
2. Submerge the stone in salt - Completely submerge the stones in the salt and allow it to sit for a few hours, pat the salt off.
3. Submerge the stone in rice - Same as salt, submerge the stone in rice and allow it to sit for a few hours, pat the rice off.
4. Sound - Collect your stones into one area, and if you have a singing bowl or a tuning fork, play the sound anywhere from 5-10 minutes. f you don't have either of those, don't worry. UA-cam has many many many sound healing videos. Search gong baths, singing bowls, binaural beats, meditation music, etc.
5. Visualization - I feel like this may be intimidating to some of you, but you can trust yourself. Sit with your stone or stones and get grounded. Maybe listen to some meditation music for a few minutes to help you do that. Imagine your hands are filling with energy. Like white radiant light. Envision the light swirling around inside of the stones, swishing around all the impurities, and flushing them out of the stone.
6. Water - Research the stone's reaction to water, cause some can ruin a stone. Generally, if it ends in -ite, don't put it in water. Run it under a faucet, in a stream, river, rainwater, bird bath, whatever you want. You can't go wrong...unless the stone shouldn't go in the water lol
7. Incense - light incense and hold the stone over the smoke.
8. Selenite- the easiest in my opinion! Have a piece of selenite near your stone, it cleanses all of the stones around it.
my culture uses sage to pray, and my mother has some sage around the house so i think it would be okay for me to cleanse crystals with it, right?
I was wondering what the green crystal you put on the window seel was I found one in my aunt's house and she let me have it but never told me what it was or what it was used for
@@kaloric Yes, if your culture uses specifically white sage (different cultures use different types so be aware of the type of sage your culture uses so you don't end up using another cultures closed practise), then you can definitely use it for your cleansing rituals. Keep in mind one of the main contributors to the endangerment of white sage is buying from unauthentic distributors (mass production or overharvesting), so keep an eye out for "ethical" sage distributors. My culture also uses white sage and i buy from locals/family members in my area. Your mother probably knows a good place to buy from (:
P.s. To anyone else reading this, keep in mind that even though a distributor sells "ethically", it is still a closed practise and should only be bought from these vendors if you are of the culture. ***Remember that Palo Santo wood is also a closed practise and is endangered/overharvested!***
How much time would you require to visualize cleanse and selenite cleanse? Also do you need to wash the rice and replace it afterwards every month????? Can I have a bowl of rice for specifically cleansing my gems?
Thank you so much for realizing this, many don’t, as a Native American woman this really means a lot to me and I personally thank you for educating yourself 💕💕
I’m really Intrested and trying to get into crystals/spiritualism and hearing you talk about cleansing I started to imagine mentally that light and I got chills.
Same! I still need to figure more out about shakras tho.. and what crystals i want. I just learned about manifesting. Do you know more accounts to look into?❤️❤️
This stuff is demonic get away from me it sis it will not help you .... I been down this path and nothing went good for me
@@kyathomas8887 wait fr 💀?
@@kyathomas8887 lmaooo girl it’s not demonic. maybe you didn’t have the right energy or intentions but working with crystals is tuning in with the universe and that should be calming. you might have done something wrong.
@@kyathomas8887 girl what are you on, no
I found a crystal today lying on the floor at the gym. I don’t know why but it brought me so much joy. Now I’m looking at this video and just feel like I stumbled across a really exciting new interest.
what kind of crystal
I think you found it for a reason, what type of crystal is it or what does it look like? I’m also a beginner and I’ve been learning about chakras and I suggest that’s where you start too!

Probably fell out of someone’s bra lol
@@emscnpck the crystal wanted to stray😂✌🏽
you’re a mystical millennial but IM a gem Z 😎😎😎
I think this is the best comment I've ever seen
LOLLLLLLLAAHAHAHAHA
PLS I LOVE THIS
My bf is gonna love this one
Omg yessss
I’ve had a rose quartz for two years and just let her chill in my room with me...whoopsie
Did you charge it yet? When it is, I suggest that you cleanse it. You don’t want bad vibes and energy coming from it
moon pebble 1o1 I thought that not cleansing it makes it less effective, but not make it give off bad vibes..
Ms. Spooks hahaha same
moon pebble 1o1 I remember when I was young I bought a tigers eye. and when I tried to search for it, it went missing. i never cleansed it because i was young and clueless and was only buying it because its pretty. does that mean negative energy comes from that crystal because ive never cleansed it?
teapot normally it would just make it less effective. but if u weren’t using it for healing or meditation u should be fine
I'm 15 with adhd and autism and I recently got into this spiritual stuff and I just got my first crystal today and my crystal pendulum is coming tomorrow I ordered them
at around 3:40, if youre gonna put your stones/crystals in water PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE first make sure its safe to put them in water. some crystals get corroded by water and some become toxic when wet
How do I know if I can cleanse it with water? I have a rose quartz and 4 jade crystals
@@loki9878 i know quartz is safe to put in water, and i belive your other crystals should be just find, but a quick google search should be enough (like "is it safe to clean x with water?")
Im using selenite spheres to cleanse my crystals in water. Is that okay...
@@OzcaDoondle99 i did a quick google search and it said that its ok if some water splashes, but if you soak them, they might dissolve, so id say try to avoid putting them on water
@@crg1292 thank u so much!!!
Some crystals do not react well to being left out in sunlight or put in water. Putting Selenatite in water would destroy it. Always a good idea to research your crystals before cleansing. That's why I prefer to use incense. Or Sage. Pretty much can't hurt a stone that way
i have incense! i ust bought crystals and i didnt knwo i had to cleanse them, can you please provide information on it so i can do it properly? lol cause i kinda lowkey walk around the house waving my incense around like it does something xD
@@lucyg3476 just Lady and Sons. Maybe close your eyes and sent her and balance yourself for a little bit until you trying to get in the zone. If your cleansing multiple Stones take the incense stick, light it and just let the smoke waft over the stones and visualize the smokes removing any negativity and bad energy from the crystals
Nyx Spiritsong thank you! And I did, then I buried them for a few hours just to make sure it worked and I believe it did c:
@@lucyg3476 another awesome way to cleanse them. In a pinch, you can also hold a stone on the palm of your hand and blow the negativity away. I don't do that often but it'll work in an emergency
Easy way to cleanse crystal is to put it in rice for day. Never heard of rice killing a crystal so works for all crystals as far as I know.
ok but can we all agree on how beautiful she is-
111!
Simp
@@p00lofbl00d they’re just saying how beautiful she is?
@@Saanvi-ej5se chillax I’m joking
@@p00lofbl00d Ik I was playing with u lol
Free tip:
You can find quartz variants easily on mountainous hikes. If you’d like you can set an intention to find a crystal while on a hike, stay aware and your manifestation will likely come true. It’s really good for the environment to find one local + not mined. Bonus is it’s already cleansed and has never been used before.
You can also cleanse your crystals with herbs beyond sage. See what you can forage! It might be easy for you to find rosemary or lavender where you live, collect a bunch full and let it dry for a while.
Other cleansers: sound, visualisation, water (Make sure if you put a crystal in water that it’s water resistant), moonlight, sunlight, grounded upon earth.
This is the first video I've ever watched on Crystals. Thanks Courtney!
Another great simple video on the topic is by sustainably sinead. I found it helpful too! ua-cam.com/video/paiUaLsWjVE/v-deo.html
Please do a bedroom/bathroom tour!! I loved seeing how/where you place your crystals. I always struggle with placing them in a way that looks neat and where I feel like they belong. Seeing your clips inspired me so much!
OOooh I can definitely do this one day!
Please I’m redecorating my master bedroom and master bathroom. In moon, star, and dragons….and of course crystals..
My mom is a witch and she bought me my first 3 crystals (Amethyst, Amazonite, and Lapis Lazuli) I didn’t know what to do with them but I’m learning 🥲
dude ur mom is so cool
@@arielle784 ikr 😭
How do you become a witch?
@@anahichacon92 anyone can become a witch as long as you have an open mind and the time to do research ! blessed be, and good luck on your journey (sorry that this is three months late lol)
Is becoming a witch against religion sorry if I'm being rude tho cause I'm a Muslim and idk ☹︎
I’ve been collecting crystals since I was 7 and only got them because I felt attracted to them and thought they were rly pretty. I stopped when I was 10 because Everyone called me weird for liking “rocks”. I’ve found recently and sorted them I felt a different energy around me and got really interested. Then I started to search up more crystals to grow my collection then I realized there’s more to come them just pretty rocks. So now I’m researching a bunch about it and this really helped!!! Thank you:)
that's called a placebo silly
I had no idea that amethyst meant that. I used to have horrible nightmares where I would wake up crying, shaking, and sweating. But out of no where my dad said he found a huge amethyst stone around a lake with a bunch of other rocks and felt like he should give it to me. And after that, I would have nightmares every now and then but they stopped for the most part. I’m now very thankful I have that crystal from a few years ago.
I have a bunch of crystals that was given to me by an old neighbor (she passed away right after. God rest her soul.) and then I bought a few crystal bracelets not knowing there's was more to these crystals than just names and cool meanings. 😰 I've always been attracted to crystals but never did any research as to why and what does it mean for me. After doing some research I went out and bought a selenite bowl to use as a crystal cleansing tool. I wiped my stones with a soft cloth, placed them in the bowl and set it on my dresser next to my bed or my window when there's a full moon. I felt so much lighter after doing that. Crystals are truly amazing.
Today I went to a crystal shop near me and to be honest I didn't know too much about crystals so I chose the crystals I was drawn to. I chose 3 crystals that were pretty different for me just to find out they were all sodalite crystals. I found it pretty interesting and I immediately thought that those crystals must be really important for my life. I look them up a little bit and God I really needed them. To be honest I've never been so happy to own something before and I am so thankful for them
i went to the metaphysical shop by my house for the first time today! all of the stones i was drawn to were described as great for relieving anxiety and stress. i was diagnosed for anxiety two years ago and i think its super cool that all the stones i was drawn to are good for helping me!!
I love that!
I bought my first crystals today, im so excited
I fell in love with a small clear quartz . I felt love when I touched it
Oh, and my answer to your video: Labradorite. When I first entered the shop I was pulled to a pile of dark, muddly looking stones and when I picked one up, the light fell on it and I was in aaaawe. Couldnt part with it, its sitting next to my laptop right at the moment too.
Other stones I was pulled towards: citrin (both the heated Amethyst, both the original rare one. I managed to buy I little drop sized one from Kenya), other than that: aquamarine, celestite, morganite, and my two new darlings: Ametrine and Charoit.
Labradorite is my favorite!! I thought the same when I first saw them, dark colorless looking stones... until you move them in certain directions and see those beautiful flashes of color in the most beautiful designs! Ugh! They’re the best 😍😍
I had no idea you knew about all this stuff. I'm obsessed with all of it too!!
Another great simple video on the topic is by sustainably sinead. I found it helpful too! ua-cam.com/video/paiUaLsWjVE/v-deo.html
for some reason im really attracted to clear quartz and the mini yellow ones. along with the koi fish looking ones and rose. even thought what i need in the moment amethyst provides i dont feel as attached to it as those ones.
Hey! just watching this video and it’s a very educational video. But please don’t use white sage. It’s a sacred way of taking negative energy it’s a closed practice along with palo santo.we tend to have to gate keep it because people do not research and care about us. Sorry if that comes off rude I’m just so tired of having to explain :( thank you I definitely understood everything you explained it perfectly!
Thank you for this! I just got into Crystal healings and sage. I wouldn’t ever want to be disrespectful to a closed practice! I appreciate you!
Are other forms of sage ok? I literally have no knowledge on this I just always see people using sage.
Hey!! What do I do if I just got some like 2 days ago?? Im so sorry I really was not aware of this issue, what else can I use to purify them?
@@janemarchand-levesque115 i would say since you already bought it so not waste it. use it with the best intentions. now that you know don’t buy it again. personally, i have some white sage that was gifted to me by a relative as i’m half native but i wasn’t raised with the practice so it’s not something i would seek out myself.
Thank you so much Courtney. I love it. This is quite informative. Sheds more light.🤗
I love your crystal videos! The sound of your voice blends so nicely with your topic and explanation of the crystals!
My friend gave me really tiny crystals as a Christmas present and now I am here
This literally helps so much. I’m going to go to the crystal shop today and buy my first crystal
Yay!! Have fun!
I didn't know anything about Crystals, but I searched for videos found this one and now I am so interested, thank you
Thank you sm for this! just starting my crystal/spirituality journey and this video was amazing. 💗💗
So happy I found this channel!!!
Your voice is so calming & your a lovely woman.😇❤
This video was very helpful as I’m very new too crystals and are finding them very interesting so thank you.
this helped so much i got a crystal today and im practicing this stuff!! youre good at explaining everything, thank you!!
I recently bought my first batch of crystals and this was really helpful. Thank you so much!
I just bought my first crystal stone necklace today and I'm so I love with it!It's a clear, shiny color that looks almost glow in the dark😊
I’ve never known that much about crystals, however I’ve been collecting them for years. I’ve never specifically cleansed my crystals and rocks besides running a few under water now and then or just lighting incense sticks in my room. My favorite crystal ever that I was immediately drawn to has such a wonderful back story and always makes me happy. I have a huge desert rose that I’ve had since 2019 when I visited England. I brought her back with me all the way to America and she didn’t break a bit. I always have felt a connection with her. Some of my favorite crystals are those that have back stories that I’ll always remember.Two others are some old crystals my mom has had since she was fifteen and just recently passed them down to me. My mom was not spiritual about crystals at all, however they remind me of her.
Loved the way you explain stuffs.. simple and straighforward! Cant wait for your guides :) sending you love and light
Wow girl your aura is amazing it’s a super light sky blue. Ur literally glowing !!
i remember when i bought my first crystal in January, it was a necklace. and i was instantly attracted to it, and just by looking at it and feeling it’s heavy positive energy i knew that it was the one. and i still wear it to this day and it’s like we’re best friends kskskd
My grandma took me to a metaphysical shop in my local town and I still go there, it’s so calming and I love it
This is the first video i watch about crystals. It was great! Thank you

thank you so much! I've been looking for a helpful video since I just got into crystals and this is perfect!
Going to cleanse my new crystals today! Thank you for this video!
thank you for these awesome tips, can't wait to use my crystals!
Thank you for the tips. I just stared this path, after having obsidian for a while. I was having a hard time finding out how to how to clean them. Thank you thank you thank you!
Really enjoyed this! You have a very soothing presence and voice! Wonderful content and easy to understand for beginners! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 😊
i love the energy coming from you oml
Just found your channel and i can’t wait for more content! Thank you for the videos 💚
You're so welcome!
I love your videos Court, I’m a long-time watcher but just wanted to say that your videos always make me feel so peaceful 💚🌿
You're so sweet! I'm so grateful you're here ! ☺️💕
You have such good energy! Thank you for this video!
Just lost my first crystal, a carnelian that I wore on my neck. I feel bad for not caring for it properly. It broke into 3 pieces. It inspired me to start taking this seriously, rather than just wearing a stone and taking its benefits
this video is PERFECT!!! this is just what i needed as a beginner! thank you. hopefully you see this. sending peaceful vibes
You are helping me so much I swear I’ve been wanting to learn and I finally am thank uu
I LOVE YOUR ENERGY. I just turned on your video and instantly felt at peace and calm. Thank you for the info!!
Same! Glad I found her channel
Thank you for making this video you carry such a good vibe and now I’m not as confused with crystals, I just bought some not too long ago and I’m just getting started on the cleaning and charging thank you :)
omg i saw you for the first time and i loved your energy ❤️
Im so happy that I found your chanel Courtney. You entered my life around 5 weeks ago when I decided to switch from chemical dye (red hair) to henna and did not know where to begin. And THEEEN, you kept on making these other cool videos about crystals and psychic abilities and now birthcharts and numbers and Im like woooow. "like attracts like"
So Im happy and enjoy your content very much :) Hugs from Budapest, Hungary
Aww omg! This was so kind of you to say! 💕✨ I’m so happy you’re liking these videos and I will be making more henna videos in the future too 😉
I collect rocks and Crystals cool to know what others believe they do! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much ! It helps alot
I just want to say, since i was little and knew nothing about crystals i have always felt a connection with amethyst, and i felt more happy and self loving around amethyst, and i have always thought about properties of a crystal, and i never was interested in collecting them for healing, or protection but now I've thought and found more information, i want to start opening my spiritual thoughts, feelings and emotions more, and all this bc i found out how crystals help life and thats thanks to you
I have gotten into spirituality recently and got myself a few stones . But didn't really know how to apply them to my needs. I ordered a few books but they haven't explained anything useful. Thank you so much for explaining it in a way that is clear and detailed without rambling and going off topic. Thank you so much .
You rock. This was the only video I was able to watch all the way thru. Thank you
thank you so much. i really love crystals, i just bought alot. and i really dont know anything about them, but now i do. thanks
I’ve been doing work with crystals for about two years. My sisters have been getting crystals for *years* and they decided to take me to a metaphysical shop (plot twist bad idea I’m obsessed). The first crystals I got were Clear Quarts (She’s a twin!), Selenite, and a little Ruby. I got Ruby because it is my birthstone and it’s really pretty. My sisters have been very helpful in the process of getting crystals and such. I just watch these videos to get a better understanding of ways to do things! Even if you think you understand everything you can about crystals, there will most likely be more you can learn. I’m gonna go meditate to open my third eye chakra!
I have a lapis lazuli and I always feel confident when I use it
SAME
I hate everything on me and today I got a necklace with lapis on it and I tried using it and i felt so confident at school
This was a great video! I took lots of notes 📝✨
Such a well done and through video. Im saving to watch repeatedly and you have a new subscriber. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💞
This video was very informative, thank you so much!
When I cleanse my crystal, i used incense and said “ you will (whatever the crystal is meant to do)” so for rose quartz i said “ you will bring me love, and calmness” so I cleansed it and set my intentions at the same time. does that work?
I'm quite new at witchcraft so don't take my word for granted, but from what i know, there aren't many set rules when it comes to magic, not really. your intention counts a million times more than the specific steps you take to accomplish something.
Thank you to open my mind for crystal.I have bought my first crystal for my class that needed but i don't really know much about it .You video is really useful
bless you xx
the store i went was like 1 hour away but i really didnt care, they took amazing care for the crystals, rose quarts in the dark red jasper in the light it was amazing! i cleansed all my crystals and even the place i hold them, the stuff i use for them, and the spell ingrediants! im so happy i spent that 60 euros on my crystals
i felt very drawn to celestite, sodalite, and clear quartz! in fact, i keep a jar of clear quartz near my bed and i feel protected :)
My sister love crystals and she tested me yesterday with a necklace put it on my chakra then checked if it was counter clock wise or clock wise to check turns out I had three already open I had the third eye, sacral, and throat I am currently working on my solar plexus and this helps alot thank you!
Great info. Just what I was looking for 🌸
I’m going to my first spiritual shop on Tuesday and I’m so excited.
How was it ???
Great info Courtney I'm getting into crystals I have a couple amethyst crystals I wear around my neck when I go out except at work because I work in a warehouse but I do want to carry some around on me even there. I'm looking into crystals that will help me with money, calming, keeping negativity away plus I love the cool & beautiful colors I'm seeing I was planning to order some online but I will check out some stores first to get some advice on what to do. The amethyst stones I already have over the years I never bothered to cleanse them no one told me about that so now after learning that crystals will take more affect when you do that I will keep that in mind. Love your video any advice from you is welcome on for me.
my dad bought his very first stone today: black tourmaline . he was so happy!!
Thanks for keeping it alive😊
this video was extremely helpful thank you so much
this really helped since i plan on getting more into spirituality, crystals, chakras and healing. TYSM!
I LOVE this video! And your hair 😱😍
I put a rose quarts on my heart and started crying bc I was frustrated and then my boyfriend called me apologising for not being as present as he should of been. I was just manifesting a text 😭❤️
thanks a ton ,it was crystal clear explanation
OMG! You must live near me! I know that crystal shop! That's MY local shop! They are amazing!
i believe the stone you referred to as tourmaline was actually obsidian! it has very similar properties, tourmaline is just a different structure where it has parallel, elongated lines typically & is in the silicate mineral group where obsidian is a volcanic glass! ! just thought i’d share my knowledge. lovin your videos!
I've wanted to ge into crystals ever since O found what I now know was a metaphysical shop on holiday, my friend bought a few but I now know there's one about half an hour away from me so ill be going there this week to but my first set of crystals and accessories! Thank you for your help!
I have decided to start with rose quartz can’t wait to try it. ❤️
Thank you for this video, I realised recently I have anxiety issues so hopefully I can find a crystal that helps
You can use amethyst i find it very effective 💜 blessed be~
citrine!
Amethyst (helps with anxiety) or rose quartz (for self confidence)
I'm a baby witch and I'm so glad my family don't really care too much and I'm allowed to do alot of things
