Crystals absorb the energies around them, both positive and negative. They can pick up heavy emotions, stale vibrations, or even simply get energetically “clogged” from repeated use. Cleansing resets their energy and allows them to return to their natural state. Just like you wouldn’t wear the same clothes every day without washing them, cleansing your crystals is an act of respect and care for both the stone and your own energetic hygiene.
