What’s the best way to use crystal carvings like skulls or animals for my altar, meditation, or spiritual practice?

Crystal carvings are deeply symbolic and versatile tools. Many customers place skulls, animals, gods, or mythical figures on their altar as a focal point for meditation, intention setting, or ritual work. You can hold your carving during meditation to connect with its specific crystal energy, or simply display it in your home as meaningful decor. Each shape carries its own symbolic significance—skulls symbolize transformation, animals channel specific energies, and gods or mythical designs can represent protection or spiritual guidance. Choose carvings that resonate with your intentions or spiritual path for the most personalized experience.

How can I care for and cleanse my hand-carved crystal sculpture to keep its energy clear?

Caring for your crystal carving is simple but important to preserve both its beauty and energy. Regularly dust your carving with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage its natural surface. To cleanse and recharge the crystal’s energy, consider gentle methods like placing it under moonlight, smudging with sage, or resting it on a bed of cleansing crystals like selenite. Avoid prolonged contact with water unless you’re certain the crystal type is water-safe. This keeps your carving energetically vibrant and ready for meditation, altar work, or display.
