Knowing how to store healing gemstones and crystals properly is a sign of a caring, responsible and knowledgeable crystal user. This goes for whether you’re going out for your daily routine, traveling overseas, or even leaving them in your space or altar. Proper storage is also important if you want to let your crystals hibernate and protect them from outside energies as well. This knowledge is also useful when you find that a crystal’s energy is too much for you and you want to limit contact. This article will guide you to the proper storage of crystals whether at home or when traveling.
Packing and Storing your Crystals
- Cleanse your crystals. You must repel any negative energy before storing them away from the rest of the world.
- Sort your crystals. For organization, you need to arrange them by categories. Some example categories are by chakras, colors, or according to intentions they are responsive to.
- Draping your crystals. You need a material that would insulate your crystals from outside energies when storing them. Silk pouches are advisable. However, organic and handwoven fabrics work best for a resting crystal.
- Using the right storage. When traveling not only outside energies affect your healing gemstones and crystals. The bumpy ride can also bring physical damage to them. Using a wooden box with several compartments is the best option. Make sure the box is fit firmly with all the gemstones inside safe from shaking. There are great options provided in crystal shops. So make sure to pay a visit before leaving town with your crystals
Sharing Your Home with Crystals
Healing gemstones and crystals are just too beautiful to just hide away from sight. But still, risks of bumping them over or even theft are there. You can drape them with fabric or use wood and glass casings for safety. But the thing is when they are insulated by these materials, they hibernate and stop releasing vibration. You have to keep the storage open for them to function.
Moreover, given that each type of crystal vibrates with specific intentions, each can serve in different parts of your home or workplace according to each space’s function. Listed below are some crystals that could go well in a type of space and how to store — or display — them properly.
Garden
Immerse the flowers and herbs in your garden with the energy for growth. Green or yellow crystals that resonate with intentions for growth should do the trick. Examples of these are green aventurine, moss agate, or green jade.
Kitchen
It is entirely safe to place crystals beside foodstuff. So put some in your pantry or maybe accent your kitchen table with one. It is recommended that crystals that are attuned to cleansing and good health be placed in the kitchen. Selenite and apatite are your best pick.
Living Room
The living room is a place where you accommodate visitors. As such, different energies pass through and stay — even the negative ones. Keep the good vibes and filter out the negative with negativity-absorbing crystals. Create a happy atmosphere in this social area with angel aura quartz, amazonite, and citrine.
Bedroom
The bedroom is the most sacred space in one’s home. It is the site where your most personal healing gemstones and crystals reside when you take them off to sleep. As such, it is important to keep this room well-organized. A neat and orderly room resonates with positive energy. When storing multiple crystals here, it is important to keep in mind the guidelines listed above.
