there are some crystals, such as citrine or smokey quartz, that you'll want to keep out of the light, or they'll fade. some can just be dumped into a bowl, box or bag with others, but there are some that will chip or get scratched if they're rattling around with others. i keep mine in a box on my altar lined with soft felt. the more fragile crystals, you'll want to wrap in a bit of soft fabric before storing, to keep them from getting damaged. (i had a beautiful piece of tourmaline break due to careless storage.) that being said, my boyfriend is a jeweler who works with crystals. he keeps most of his jewelery bunched up in a plastic sandwich bag. (as someone who's worked in a gallery selling jewelery, i have to say this is quite unprofessional and drives me nuts.) but the point i'm making, is that he's someone who's really serious about stones and crystals, and he doesn't seem to believe that storage is going to affect their energy one way or the other.
I have 2 semi large clear quartz ones and was going to store them in a black cloth bag, right now they are just sitting on my alter so they should be fine there. But yeah I was mainly wondering about the effect storing would have on energy. thanks!!
in a pocket. in your bra. somewhere your body will keep it warm and energized. If not on your person, I'd suggest a pretty trinket box or some container that has special personal meaning for you.
