- Cleaning: Red Agate loves water. You can safely rinse the stone for a long time under lukewarm running water or place it in a bowl of water to energetically discharge it. Smudging with Palo Santo or white sage is also an excellent method to refresh the stone.
- Charging: This stone loves the powerful energy of the sun (preferably the early morning sun) to nourish its fiery strength. The full moon is also a great charging method. A Selenite charging plate or a bed of Selenite stones is a wonderful, safe way to fully cleanse and recharge the energy of this stone.
