When I feel I have drained a stone, I will cleanse it first for a week or two with selenite, then charge it for a month with a double terminated quartz wand. And then give it another month off in my jewelry box before wearing it again...and even then, sometimes they deliberately hide from me in the jewelry box when I look for them when they are ready to play again, they will put themselves in front of my eyes as soon as I open the box!
We can take or drain an awful lot of energy from our stones.
Yes, I have selenite, so will definitely let it "rest" for awhile and then put it next to the selenite for awhile. I'll miss 'wearing' it--but perhaps I can find another pretty bauble to put on the chain for awhile and change things up a bit anyway. Feeling much better about it so far, thinking its just time for it to have a 'vacation' away from me for awhile.
I guess I was like a "psychic-vampire" to my moldavite of late. I'll give it a rest for awhile--perhaps the remainder of the summer and see how "he" feels then about coming back to me.
thnx again, Padma.
