Cleansing

Cleansing your specimen with Sage is my preferred way to cleanse and rid of any negative energies that the stone may hold, as it’s much safer than water baths or ritual bowls.

More importantly, Chrysocolla will cause the water to become toxic due to its copper content.

Chrysocolla won’t mind being out in the moonlight, you can leave it on a window to bathe in the full moons energy, as well.
