Is there anything bad about my crystals?

A customer's just come in with three crystals and asked this question. The details are not relevant, but no there is nothing BAD about any crystal. What is important is that these crystals felt sticky or grungy and needed cleansing. You can always tell when a crystal needs cleansing, it looses it's sparkle, fades, feels sticky or just doesn't feel right. This is because they are picking up energy that you don't need. Not necessarily negative or bad (there's no such thing as good or bad anyway!) The easiest way to cleanse most crystals is with running water. Avoid doing this with water soluble crystals :-) Sage smudge sticks, frankincense, sunlight, moonlight and sounds such as those from Tibetan cymbals or bowls are alternatives.
