Hi everyone,
I'm new to using crystals and I've heard that it's important to charge them in order to enhance their energy and its effects. I just wanted to know how many hours I should be charging my crystals for optimal results? I've been doing some research online, and I've come across different recommendations, ranging from a few hours to even 24 hours.
I have a few different types of crystals that I would like to charge, including clear quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, and citrine. I want to make sure that I'm doing this right, so I would appreciate some advice from those who have more experience with this. Also, do I need to charge them under certain conditions, such as during a full moon or in sunlight?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
I have been using crystals for a couple of years now, and my experience with charging them has been quite interesting. I have found that charging them for around 4-6 hours is usually enough for me to feel their effects. I prefer to charge them during the day, under the sun's light.
That said, I have also charged them for longer periods of time, especially during full moons. I usually put them outside, either on my balcony or in the garden and leave them to charge overnight. I have noticed that charging them during full moons makes them feel more powerful and energized, but as others have said, it really comes down to personal preference.
When it comes to different types of crystals, I have found that some require more frequent charging than others. For example, my smoky quartz and hematite seem to hold their charge for longer, while my selenite and amethyst need to be charged quite frequently.
Overall, I think that the most important thing is to pay attention to your own intuition and the energy of your crystals. Experiment with different charging methods and see what works best for you.
