What charging means
Crystal traditions say a stone you carry or wear gathers the days it has been through, and that it likes a pause to be set again. It is a practice, not a measurement: a moment of care for something you keep close, and a reason to look at it again.
Three gentle ways
Moonlight: leave the stones on a windowsill or outside on a dry night, often at the full moon, and bring them in by morning. Selenite: lay them on a selenite plate for a few hours or overnight; selenite is said to need no charging itself. Sound: hold the stones near a singing bowl or a bell and let one long note ring out.
What to keep from each stone
Amethyst, rose quartz, citrine and fluorite fade in strong sunlight, so they belong in the moon, not the sun. Selenite is a soft form of gypsum and slowly dissolves in water, so it is never washed. Soft or porous stones such as malachite and turquoise are best kept dry too.
