How to Cleanse My Amethysts: Simple Ways to Refresh Their Energy

Amethyst is a beautiful and powerful crystal — known for its calming energy, emotional balance, and spiritual protection. But just like anything that absorbs energy, amethyst needs to be cleansed from time to time to keep its vibrations clear and strong.

Whether you're using it in meditation, placing it in your space, or sleeping on a pillow infused with amethyst (like ours), regularly cleansing your stone can help recharge its healing properties and keep it working at its best.

Here’s everything you need to know.

 

 

Why Do Crystals Need to Be Cleansed?

Crystals, especially amethyst, are known to absorb energy from their surroundings — including stress, tension, or emotional residue. Over time, this can weigh down the crystal's natural frequency.

Cleansing is a simple act of resetting and realigning your stone’s energy so it continues to support you fully. Think of it like refreshing your phone — it still works without it, but after a recharge? It’s way more effective.

 

 

Safe & Gentle Ways to Cleanse Amethyst

1. Selenite: The Crystal Cleanser  [Preferred Method]

Selenite is one of the few crystals that never needs cleansing itself — and is widely loved for its ability to gently and powerfully cleanse other stones, including amethyst.

  • How: Place your amethyst on or next to a selenite slab, bowl, or charging wand for several hours (or overnight).

  • Why it works: Selenite’s high-frequency vibration helps clear any energetic buildup without physically or energetically overwhelming your amethyst.

  • Perfect for: Daily or weekly cleansing, especially for amethyst stored in sleep products like pillows.

Tip: Keep a piece of selenite in your bedroom near your amethyst pillow to maintain clear, balanced energy every night.

 

 

2. Moonlight Bath

Soft and natural, moonlight is an ideal reset for amethyst.

  • How: Place your amethyst near a window or outside under a full moon.

  • Why it works: Lunar energy is soothing and perfectly aligned with amethyst’s calming nature.

 

 

3. Smoke Cleansing (Smudging)

Use sacred herbs to energetically cleanse.

  • How: Pass your amethyst through the smoke of sage, palo santo, or lavender.

  • Why it works: Smoke is traditionally used to dispel negative or heavy energy.

 

 

4. Sound Healing

Energetic cleansing through vibration.

  • How: Use a singing bowl, tuning fork, or ambient healing tones.

  • Why it works: Sound waves gently reset the energetic imprint of your crystal.

 

 

5. Visualization

Energy healing through intention.

  • How: Hold your amethyst, close your eyes, and imagine it surrounded by a glowing white light.

  • Why it works: Your focused intention can shift the energy of the stone.

 

 

6. Salt Bowl (Indirect)

Traditional but use with care.

  • How: Set amethyst next to (not inside) a bowl of sea salt or Himalayan salt.

  • Why: Salt purifies energy, but direct contact may damage polished surfaces.

 

 

What to Avoid

  • Direct Sunlight: May fade amethyst’s color over time.

  • Water Soaking: Can cause cracks or dullness.

  • Harsh Cleaners: Energy, not bleach, is what we're working with.

 

 

Caring for Amethyst in Your Pillow

If you use one of our amethyst-infused pillows, cleansing is easy and intentional. Place a selenite wand or plate near your pillow, or set it by moonlight occasionally to naturally refresh the energy — no disassembly or direct handling needed.

 

 

A Ritual of Renewal

Cleansing your amethyst is more than upkeep — it’s a moment of mindful care. A simple ritual that reconnects you with your space, your energy, and your intentions.

With a little help from selenite — and a lot of love — your amethyst will continue supporting your peace, sleep, and spiritual flow.
