Gemstones have long been revered for their beauty and believed healing properties. At Gem & Jules, we embrace the ancient wisdom surrounding gemstones, infusing them with positive energy to elevate every gifting experience. In this guide, we'll explore the basics of gemstones, including their significance, smudging, cleansing rituals, and the importance of using selenite to charge them, empowering you to understand the energy they bring and why they set our gift boxes apart.
The Significance of Gemstones
Gemstones are more than just pretty adornments; they hold ancient significance and are believed to possess various energetic properties. Each gemstone is unique, with its own vibrational frequency and healing attributes. For example, amethyst is associated with peace and tranquility, while rose quartz embodies love and compassion. By incorporating these gemstones into our gift boxes, we aim to impart their positive energy to the recipient, fostering a sense of well-being and connection.
Smudging and Cleansing Rituals
To fully harness the energy of gemstones, it's essential to cleanse them regularly. Smudging, a practice rooted in indigenous cultures, involves burning sacred herbs such as sage or palo santo to purify and cleanse the energy of a space or object. When smudging gemstones, simply pass them through the smoke with the intention of clearing away any negative energy and restoring their natural vitality.
In addition to smudging, there are various other methods for cleansing gemstones, including:
- Moonlight Bath: Leave your gemstones outside under the light of the full moon to absorb its cleansing energy.
- Salt Bath: Submerge your gemstones in a bowl of saltwater to purify and recharge them. Use pure salt with no additives, such as sea salt, pink Himalayan salt, Epsom salt, or Dead Sea salt. Please keep in mind many gemstones should not be cleansed with salt, so if you are unsure, do not use salt and use other methods.
- Sound Bath: Use sound vibrations from singing bowls or tuning forks to clear and energize your gemstones.
Using Selenite to Charge Gemstones
Selenite is a powerful crystal known for its ability to cleanse, charge, and amplify the energy of other gemstones. To charge your gemstones with selenite, simply place them in contact with a piece of selenite for several hours or overnight. The selenite will infuse your gemstones with its purifying energy, enhancing their vibrational frequency and maximizing their healing properties.
