How to use it
Because it's compact, it also travels well, making it a favorite for anyone who likes to bring a small piece of their practice along when away from home.
Many people hold a merkaba during meditation, place it at the center of a crystal grid, or simply keep it on an altar or desk as a focal point for setting an intention. Its mini size also makes it easy to carry in a pocket or small pouch through the day.
Care & cleansing
Clear quartz is water-safe, so a gentle rinse and pat dry is fine. Avoid sudden temperature swings, which can stress natural quartz. Recharge it with a few hours of indirect sunlight, moonlight, or smoke cleansing.
