Selecting Your Crystal
f you are able to physically go to the store to select your crystal, using one of the following techniques may be helpful for you.
Grounding
When you are ready, sit or stand comfortably with your feet planted firmly on the floor or ground. Picture roots going firmly into the floor or ground while a golden cord extends into the heavens from the head. Take a deep breath from your abdomen and fully exhale. Repeat your breaths twice more.
Pendulum Technique
Clear your pendulum.
Ensure you are grounded. Picture tree roots extending from the base of your spine. Take a deep breath, exhale. Repeat the process twice more.
Hold the pendulum in your non-dominant hand, with your dominant hand underneath.
Ask your pendulum to show you "Yes". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Now ask the pendulum to show you "No". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Place a piece of Rose Quartz in your dominant hand under the pendulum.
Ask the Pendulum "Is this piece in my best or highest good?" or "Is this piece meant for me?" or a similar Yes/No question that will allow you to know whether or not the piece is meant for you to purchase.
Note the response.
If the response is no, try with the process again with another piece.
Note: If the piece is too big for you to hold you will need to place it on a firm surface and hold the pendulum over top of the crystal while asking the question.
Intuitive Selection
Hold the crystal in your non-dominant hand against your heart.
Ask your guides if this is in your best and highest good.
If you experience a positive feeling then the piece is a good match.
If you experience cold sensory feelings or a feeling of dread, select a different piece and repeat the process.
Online Stores
When purchasing crystals, like Rose Quartz, online, there are considerations to make. It may not be easy to tell in the photographs, so it is best to be aware:
It may be difficult to see the inclusions or flashes in the crystals.
Rose Quartz is available in raw and polished forms.
Remember crystals purchases made online are always a buyer beware prospect. You cannot feel the energy of the crystal or see the true quality unless you are buying in person.
It is advisable to check the dimensions of all crystals before purchasing.
Note: Online stores use stock images so the image you see will not be representative of the product you receive.
Cleanse Your Crystal
Options
Selenite: Set your Rose Quartz on a piece of Selenite for several hours until you intuit the energy of the crystal has been cleansed.
Liquid dish soap and warm water: Rose quartz jewelry, dirty rose quartz stones, or a rose quartz facial roller using liquid soap and warm water. Rinse the crystals and pat dry.
Sea Salt and Water: Soak your rose quartz in saltwater overnight. Dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of sea salt in warm water. Place your rose quartz in the saltwater and leave it to soak overnight. Rinse the stones with warm water and pat dry.
Fresh Rain Water: Put your rose quartz in a colander and put it outside under the falling rain for a minimum of 5 minutes. Gently pat dry.
Moonlight: Purify and charge your rose quartz under the full or waning moon. Ensure the crystals are in a safe place outdoors or place on the windowsill where the moonlight can hit the crystals overnight. The moonlight won’t damage the colour of your rose quartz and will add energy to the crystal.
Prior to Dawn: Place the crystal outside for 1 hour prior to dawn to get exposure to the sunlight. Note: rose quartz can fade or become discoloured if it’s left in the sun for too long.
Smudging: Use sage or another sacred herb to cleanse rose quartz.
Bury: Bury the stone in the ground or in a plant pot for 24 hours to cleanse the energy. Rinse off the dirt and pat dry.
