How to cleanse & charge Howlite
Cleanse your crystal when it first arrives, then every few weeks or whenever it feels dull.
Keep it dry
Howlite shouldn't be soaked in water. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth instead.
Smoke
Pass it through the smoke of incense, sage or palo santo while setting a clear intention.
Sun or moonlight
Leave it in gentle morning sunlight or under the full moon to recharge.
Selenite plate
Rest it on a Selenite plate overnight, one of the easiest ways to cleanse and recharge any crystal.
