Cleansing: This stone, although robust, appreciates gentle methods. You can cleanse it by fumigation, using sage or palo santo, or briefly pass it under clear water, without ever letting it soak. Avoid salt water to preserve the shine of the fine rutile inclusions.
Recharging: To restore its full vibrational power, expose Rutilated Quartz to the morning sunlight for a few hours, or to the full moonlight. Placing it on a cluster of rock crystal or an amethyst geode is also an effective and recommended method for a deep and gentle recharge.
