You can cleanse your Lapis Lazuli in a few different ways, and we'll go over the most common ones in the next section:

Cleansing With Water
Running water is one of the most common ways to cleanse Lapis Lazuli.

Cleansing With Sage Or Incense
Sage can be used to cleanse Lapis Lazuli by holding it in one hand and wafting the smoke from sage over it with the other.
Focus your thoughts on ridding the stone of any bad energy it might be holding while you do this. This will help get rid of energy that isn't needed.

Then, blow the smoke over your crystal for a few moments to clear it of any bad energy. It's important to have good ventilation while you do this, so open a window to let the bad energy out and the fresh air in.
Cleansing With Sunlight
Sunlight is one way that Earth cleanse itself. To use sunlight to cleanse your Lapis Lazuli, just put it outside in the sun for a few hours. Be careful not to leave your stone in the sun for too long, though, or the color may fade. When you're done, you can bring it back in and start enjoying your stone.

We recommend that you stay away from sage and incense because the smoke can get too strong and damage the wire of the bracelet.
It's the same with water. You should never let water get into your bracelet because it can cause the wire to rust and break.
If you want a gentle way to cleanse your Lapis Lazuli bracelet, we suggest using either the sun or the moon. Just put your bracelet in direct sunlight or moonlight for a few hours and let the cleansing energies do their job.
