Cleansing and charging Jadeite
All crystals should be cleansed when you first get them and then regularly after that. They should also be charged to keep them at their full power.
Two of the most common ways to cleanse crystals is with water and with sunlight.
Can Jadeite get wet?
Yes, Jadeite can generally get wet. It is a relatively durable stone and is usually fine with brief contact with water, such as rinsing or gentle cleaning. It is still best to avoid harsh chemicals and to dry it properly afterwards.
Can Jadeite go in sunlight?
Yes, Jadeite can generally go in sunlight. Short periods of sunlight are usually fine, but prolonged exposure to intense direct sun is best avoided, especially if you want to preserve the colour and finish over time.
