- Ring to amplify personal intentions and energy.
- Carry with you (in your pocket or wallet) for continuous energy support.
✦ Cleansing and Recharging Crystals
Crystals absorb energy and need regular cleansing to maintain their effectiveness.
- Moonlight Cleansing: Suitable for most crystals (especially Moonstone, Amethyst).
- Water Cleansing: Works for water-safe crystals (e.g., Quartz family), but avoid Turquoise and Malachite.
