One thing that I would like to say about soaking your crystals . . . make sure they aren't water soluble first . One of my favourite crystals is my selenite egg. When I hold it it opens up my crown chakra and helps me feel connected to angelic energies. However, when I first got it I wanted to cleanse it so I tried running it under some water and unfortunately selenite IS water soluble so I ended up rendering it's smooth surface a little more rough and cloudy. Even holding it in my hand can scuff it if I get a lil sweaty so I mostly keep it on a stand on my desk where it can radiate it's light. I find now that sage smoke is useful for cleansing stones that might not get along so well with water .

Selenite will DISSOLVE if you leave it in water.

Brown Eye, visualization is usually how I cleanse my crystals. It seems like every other way can be damaging.
