Regardless of the purpose for which it is used, before using a newly purchased crystal, be sure to cleanse it of negative energies by burying it in soil overnight and then start using it. Crystals may cause headaches initially in those not accustomed to their energy; in such a case, remove the crystal. When you are accustomed to its energy, you can wear it continuously. Do not allow other people to touch a crystal you have cleansed.
