- Cleaning: Moonstone can be briefly rinsed under lukewarm running water. Then immediately dry the stone with a soft cloth to prevent limescale stains. Smudging with Palo Santo or white sage is also a very fine, safe method to energetically cleanse the stone.
- Charging: As the name suggests, Moonstone charges best in the light of the full moon. Place it on the windowsill (preferably outside or behind glass) to absorb the full moon energy. A Selenite charging plate or a bed of Selenite stones is also a beautiful, safe way to completely purify and recharge the energy of this stone.
