Help please! Are my crystals ok?

Post by iain » Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:03 am

I accidentally rinsed my Lapis Lazuli and Hematite tumblestones with water and put my Moldavite crystal into a bowl of sea salt.  It was only there for a few minutes, and I have since rinsed it with water.  I have cleansed them all in sandalwood incense smoke and left them in sunlight.

I have read that putting Moldavite in salt and Lapis and Hematite in water can affect their properties, and I just wanted to know if the crystals are ruined now or if I have done enough to save them?  Should I continue to use them?

As soon as I realised my mistake I took steps to cleanse and charge them.  Your help is greatly appreciated! :)

They will be fine, water is avoided because it creates a film around hematite  but once dry its fine, and water is avoided with lapis because its soft and can dissolve especially in acidic water.Moldavite should never be cleansed with salt because its soft and can be scratched. They will not lose any of there properties.

I made the mistake of putting my lapis in salt water too :( Glad to know they're okay though!

I don't believe there is anything wrong with water and hematite, after all it is irons ore and the worst that can happen is it will rust and become more beautiful. Salt though never use it, it is harsh and will scratch and attract waters in to the stone which can cause cracking and fissures.

I noticed the original was old but it seemed worthwhile to add some information to the thread. I am sorry if I upset, I find it interesting to read old threads.

I do recognise that this was said tongue in cheek or as a joke, but I feel that it is a good point which deserves an answer. Whether or not you will regard it as an equally good answer, is completely up to you to decide for yourself.

Locking the thread instead of removing it completely still allows you to view and respect the original contribution, but gives people the opportunity to reboot the discussion with members who are actually still coming to the site, and who are still responding.

I simply cannot see any useful purpose being served by us "talking" to someone who is no longer coming to this site, or asking them any questions.

Does that make sense?
