Some days other stones/crystals may call me but i am firmly attached to quartz.

I'm curious, what cleaning technique do you use? For a quick cleaning, I put the stones in rei ki charged water with rose water, lavender essential oil and salt for a few nights under the moon. I usually place the word "clarity" on the stone. Sometimes someone inside the stone will speak to me and I'll help them out of the stone with all the above but no salt. For a very dirty stone, I bury it under 12 inches of Earth for a month, then repeat the fore mentioned technique.
