Thanks for the good cleansing info! I was going to use the salt method, but I like the idea of cleansing it with the light of the full moon

It can be charged by moonlight with a full moon and cleansed under running water. You could also place it on selenite to cleanse and charge simultaneously. Selenite is a stone that does not require charging or cleansing and should not be gotten wet. :)
