To ensure that your stone’s metaphysical and healing properties stay powerful, you will want to charge and cleanse your apophyllite stones just as you would any other crystal clusters. Not only should you cleanse and charge them when you initially bring them home, but you will want to continually clean them once or twice per month depending on how much you use them.

• Water

  As long as your stone is not water soluable and is durable enough (3+ on Mohs hardness), you may be able to put it in a bowl of lukewarm water to cleanse and charge the stone. You will want to leave the stone in the water between 2-10 hours (leaving it overnight is a good way to do it). Dry stones with a soft cloth to avoid causing damage to them.

• Salt

  Salt is known for its ability to remove negative energies. To use it to cleanse your own crystals, fill a jar or bowl with sea salt. Place your stones on top of the salt, then cover the bowl with a cloth. Allow the crystals to sit in the jar for a day or two to cleanse the crystals, then carefully remove them. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove any dust. Dispose of the salt.

• Charging Stones

  Placing your crystal on a Selenite wand, inside an Amethyst or Quartz geode, or placing it near other charging crystals (such as Carnelian) can safely charge any stone. While smaller stones could charge in a matter of minutes, it is a good idea to keep them with the charging stones for at least 24 hours. The cleansing stones will remove negative vibrations that your crystal may have absorbed.

• Visualization

  Visualization is a safe and powerful way of charging any of your crystals. Take time to center your energy and ground yourself, then pick up the sone in your hands. Focus on filling your hands with a radiant light through visualization for a minute or two. Focus on removing the negativity from the stone, allowing it to be cleansed and recharged with purpose. You should be able to feel the energy within the stone shift into positivity.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

Conclusion

Apophyllite is a powerful crystal that can be used for healing, meditation, and spiritual growth. It is a versatile stone that can be used in many ways, including removing negative thought patterns. Whether you want to deepen your meditation practice or connect with your higher self, apophyllite can be a helpful ally.
