Have you ever hesitated before putting your crystal under water, wondering “Wait… was this one water-safe?”
Or maybe you’ve noticed your beautiful Amethyst turning pale, wishing you’d known it was sun-sensitive?
I’ve definitely been there, staring at my collection, trying to remember which stones need individual storage, which can handle sunlight, and which are safe to carry in my pocket.
That’s why I created this free Crystal Care Cheat Sheet!
What makes this Crystal Care Guide different?
Most crystal care guides hand you exhaustive lists: “Selenite can’t touch water. Amethyst fades in the sun. Calcite is soft. Fluorite scratches easily…”
But what happens when you find a new crystal that’s not on the list?
Or you have a beautiful crystal but aren’t 100% sure what type it is?
This cheat sheet teaches you a pattern recognition system instead. Once you understand the principles behind crystal care (hardness, color sensitivity, texture clues), you can easily and confidently figure out how to care for ANY crystal, even ones you’ve never heard of.
What’s inside the Crystal Care Cheat Sheet?
Chapter 1: Cleansing
Learn simple visual tests and texture clues that tell you instantly which crystals are water-safe and which aren’t. Plus, discover why matching your cleansing method to your crystal’s energy type (activating vs calming) matters!
Chapter 2: Storage
Understand the patterns behind common storage mistakes, from scratching and fading to mysterious cracks that appear months later. You’ll learn which stones can share space and which need special protection.
Chapter 3: Daily Use
Figure out which crystals can handle pocket carry, jewelry wear, and daily life – and which ones are more delicate.

Learn Patterns, Not Lists!
The beauty of this system is that you understand the WHY, so you can figure out any crystal’s needs:
👆 Can you scratch it with your fingernail? → It’s soft. No water, individual storage, no pockets.
🎨 Is it purple, pink, or blue? → It’s sun-sensitive. Keep it away from windows or accept that it will fade.
✨ Is it smooth, glassy, and heavy? → It’s water-safe. Quick rinses are fine.
⚡ Is it bright and warm-colored? → It’s activating. Charge it in sunlight, not moonlight.
No more frantically googling “can Fluorite get wet?” at midnight. You can confidently figure it out yourself.

The Two Types of Crystals: Work vs Collection
This is something I feel strongly about:
Not all crystals need to stay pristine forever!
I differentiate between two types:
💰 Collection pieces: Those expensive, rare, or sentimental stones that deserve careful protection.
🔧 Work crystals: Your daily tools that serve you, even if they show some wear and tear over time.
An affordable Carnelian bracelet that you charge in morning sunlight every day? It might fade over time, but that’s okay. It’s serving you with the right energy.
A rare Amethyst cluster from your grandmother? That deserves protection from sunlight and careful storage.
Both approaches are valid. This guide helps you make informed, conscious choices for each of your stones.
Common Crystal Care Mistakes this Guide prevents:
❌ Putting Selenite in water (it dissolves!)
❌ Storing soft and hard stones together (scratches!)
❌ Displaying purple stones in sunny windows (fading!)
❌ Using hot or cold water for cleansing (temperature shock!)
❌ Keeping activating crystals in the bedroom (sleep disruption!)
❌ Leaving Clear Quartz spheres in direct sunlight (fire hazard!)
With this guide, you’ll understand the principles behind each of these mistakes, so you can avoid them with ease.
Your Crystals deserve Informed Care, not Guesswork
You don’t need to memorize which of the hundreds of common crystals can get wet, which fade in sun, or which scratch easily. You just need to understand the patterns.
This free cheat sheet gives you those patterns in an easy-to-reference format you can print out and keep with your collection.
