Crystals
When you first get a crystal home, let it sit a while. Perhaps a few days or even a week. Have a small box handy that you can place any of your crystals in when you first receive them, and then set them in a location in or outside of your home where they will be safe. (All of your magical tools in fact should take up space at your altar for a while before you consecrate and then use them). This gives them a chance to ‘breathe’ and settle in, to recognize the energy of your space and to begin to understand the role they will play in your life. You’ll need to place them somewhere where they are not exposed to the elements since some crystals can be damaged by water, by sunlight, etc.
