5 Crystal Placement Mistakes That Drain Their Power

5 Crystal Placement Mistakes That Drain Their Power

Introduction
Even the most powerful crystals can lose their energy if placed incorrectly. Avoid these 5 common mistakes to keep your stones working at their best.

Mistake #1: Keeping Crystals in the Bathroom
Humidity and chemicals can damage porous stones like selenite and malachite. Fix: Store them on a dry shelf instead.

Mistake #2: Placing Them in Clutter
Cluttered spaces trap stagnant energy. Solution: Keep crystals on a selenite plate or in a dedicated clean space.

Mistake #3: Leaving Them in Direct Sunlight
Some crystals (like amethyst) fade in sunlight. Better option: Charge them in moonlight instead.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Moon Phases
Full moon = best for charging. New moon = ideal for setting intentions. Pro tip: Track lunar cycles for maximum effect.

Mistake #5: Isolating Black Crystals
Black tourmaline and obsidian absorb negativity but need cleansing. Fix: Place them near selenite or cleanse weekly.

Optimal Placement Guide

  • Bedroom: Amethyst for restful sleep.

  • Workspace: Citrine for productivity.

  • Front Door: Black tourmaline for protection.
