Caring for your crystals and stones is important because they naturally absorb and store energy from their surroundings, including your own energy. Over time, this can impact their effectiveness and vibrancy. By regularly cleansing and charging them, you help restore their natural energy and ensure they continue to work in alignment with your intentions. Proper care also helps to maintain the physical condition of the stones, preventing damage and preserving their beauty. Just as you would care for anything precious, tending to your crystals shows respect for their healing and energetic properties, allowing you to get the most out of their benefits.
