Care & Cleansing

  • Gentle Cleaning: Clean Alexandrite with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
  • Energy Cleansing: Recharge by placing under moonlight overnight, on a selenite plate, or using sage or palo santo smoke. Check sun sensitivity — some crystals fade in direct sunlight.
