Caring for Your Gemstones

For the birthstones to work in your favour one must take care of them and maintain their sheen. Any damage can hamper their healing benefits. Here are a few ways to take proper care - 

1. Proper storage - When not in use, make sure you store the birthstone or birthstone jewellery in proper boxes or original packaging. This helps to protect it from any damage that may occur by rubbing against each other.
2. Clean it up - Make sure you wipe the gemstone with a soft cotton cloth to take away any residue that may coat it and keep it clean.
3. Limit exposure to water or sunlight - Some gemstones can get eroded by water or may fade way in the sunlight. So it is best that you protect your gemstones from these two factors.
4. Cleanse and charge them - After a period of time, gemstones stop radiating healing energy as they may get saturated. So one must clean and charge them periodically to maintain their efficacy. The best way to cleanse is with incense or smudge sticks and the best way to charge them is to keep them under full moonlight.
