Why Moonlight Charging Doesn’t Work for All Crystals
Moonlight is often considered a potent energy source for charging crystals. But not all crystals can harness this energy effectively. Some crystals actually deteriorate under moonlight exposure.
Types of Crystals to Avoid Charging in Moonlight
To protect your crystals from damage, avoid charging the following types of crystals in moonlight:
- Water-soluble crystals: Selenite, Halite, and Calcite are prone to dissolution in water and should never be exposed to moisture, including moonlight.
- Delicate crystals: Gypsum, Fluorite, and Azurite are fragile and can be damaged by the fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels associated with moonlight.
- Dark-colored crystals: Obsidian, Hematite, and Black Tourmaline absorb sunlight during the day and can become overly charged under moonlight, leading to energy imbalances.
- Crystals with complex inclusions: Crystals with inclusions, such as Dendritic Agate or Tourmalinated Quartz, can have their energies disrupted by prolonged moonlight exposure.
- Crystals with metallic luster: Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, and Galena have a metallic sheen and can reflect rather than absorb moonlight energy.
Crystal Care: Alternative Charging Methods
If you own crystals that are not suitable for moonlight charging, don’t despair. Here are some alternative methods to energize your crystals:
- Sunbathing: Place your crystals in direct sunlight for a few hours to absorb solar energy. However, avoid exposing water-soluble crystals to sunlight.
- Smudging: Burn sage, palo santo, or other cleansing herbs around your crystals to release negative energy and promote clarity.
- Sound healing: Use sound bowls, tuning forks, or mantras to vibrate your crystals, activating their energy centers.
- Electromagnetic charging: Place your crystals near electronic devices, such as computers or TVs, to absorb their energy field. Note that this method may not be suitable for all crystals.
