In case you have a hard time to remember the whole list or you don’t really understand whether or not your crystals are good for salt water cleansing, it may be easier to check out their hardness level.

If the crystal is fragile and can be cracked with a small stone, don’t rinse it with salt water. Its quality will be more terribly damaged when being soaked in salt water for hours.

Then, how to cleanse anti-salt crystals?

You can try these methods below:

1. Submerge them in clean freshwater, or you can place them under running the water until your intuition tells you to stop. Freshwater is harmless and causes no damage to your crystal. In fact, the purity of freshwater will actually increase the power of magic stones and makes them work efficiently.

2. Another great way for cleansing and recharging is to give your crystals a rain shower. Put it simply – place them on a clean ground and let the rain water run through them.

3. Smudging can also be used for anti-salt crystals. Burn the white sage stick (or incense) and move it around your crystals so that the smoke can rub all the facets completely.

4. The last method in this list is ultrasonic cleansing! Though this one is unfamiliar to many, but it’s considered as a good technique to those crystals which can’t be cleanse in traditional ways.

Is salt water cleansing safe?

According to witchcraft experts, using this method 1-2 times a year is alright. However, to those try it on a regular basis – you are unintentionally damaging the quality and power of your crystals. Whether they are suitable for salt water or not, constantly bathing them with salt will leave bad effects on them only.

Why?

From my research, salt is a compound that can penetrate the microscopic fissures on the magic stones. If they keep being soaked in salt water, that penetration can weaken their power in the long run. For those owning polished crystals, then the same matter will happen but it may take a longer time.

Some told me that the shine of crystals will fade after a while and eventually look a little washed out and dull if being cleanse in salt water constantly.

Can I Use Himalayan Salt for Alternative?

This is one of FAQs because some individuals believe that using Himalayan salt for crystals cleansing won’t damage the quality as well as fade the shade of their magic stones. They claim that Himalayan salt is safer than ocean salt – is it true?

Well, according to healing crystal experts, Himalayan salt is more distinct and undeniably superior when it comes to energy.

Nonetheless, Himalayan salt is a type of salt and still has the possibility of weakening the power of your crystals. It still affects their quality if being used on a regular basis, same as sea salt.

For the better, you should avoid applying Himalayan salt on healing stones that are seemingly brittle.
