🔸 6–7: Medium hardness

Can be worn often, with care:

🌈 Labradorite, 🌿 Aventurine, 🟢 Jade, ❤️ Rhodonite, 🐍 Chrysoprase

🔸 7: Universal stones

Perfect for daily wear:

💎 Quartzes: amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, smoky quartz

⚠️ Tip: Don’t wear soft stones next to harder ones — they will get scratched! Store your jewelry separately.

House Cleansing Ritual with Crystals

You will need: — a bundle of herbs (sage, wormwood, rosemary) or an incense stick (sandalwood, frankincense) — clear quartz and black tourmaline — a bell or singing bowl

Steps:

Open windows and doors to let energy flow freely.

Light the herb bundle or incense stick and slowly walk around your home clockwise, paying special attention to corners, doorways, and windows.

While smudging, ring the bell — sound helps to break up stagnant and negative energy.

Place the crystals: 🖤 Black Tourmaline — near the entrance to protect against unwanted energies. 🤍 Clear Quartz — in the center of the home to fill the space with pure light.

Stand in the center of the room, close your eyes, focus on your breath, and say: “I cleanse and protect my space with Light, Love, and Harmony.”
