After cleansing the gemstones with running water, place them on the soil wrapped around the base of a healthy houseplant, shrub, or tree. Alternatively, you may drape necklaces in the plant itself. Leave the gemstones overnight or for up to several days. The Gemstone Guardians feel it is essential for all of us to develop sensitivity to the energies and effects of our gemstones. By observing our gems before and after cleansing, we will become more aware of the difference between gemstones that have shut down because of energetic stress-and those vibrant with light and sound.
Airport security requires that all checked bags be inspected by x-ray.
When traveling with your gemstones wear them as you walk through the metal detector or have them hand-inspected at the security station. If you place them in a see-through plastic bag, the inspector will not have to open the bag to inspect it. If necessary, insist that they not go through the x-ray machine. If you are traveling with a large amount of gemstones, tell them you have gemstones and ask for a private inspection.
