Cleansing Your Crystals and Gemstones If you own crystals and gemstones, setting them out in the rain is a great way to cleanse them. Or simply give them a rinse under cool running water. Your stones emit energy and so, they absorb energy, too. They become dull and drained from absorbing negative energy. They become dirty.
