crystals only fracture if the get astrally attacked by negative energy of beings or if you care less with them
a propperlty crystal on its own can facilitate removal of negative energy of you body some amplifly the light frequencies naturally  i wouldnt want to build my ballance arround that
Crystal matrixs are power centers think like constelations
essentually you can task a crystal to funtion for you ie a catylast for astral entitiy communication
this serves the rock function of holding and emmiting a light lesser being to be used
crystals are sentient beings that experience the world arround them  a true crystal can negate energy i agree
also to the extent that i can give positive vibrations

This is the infomation i give my customers when they dont know how to use there crystals this may be of some help for you


General Cleansing Infomation

It is recommended that you cleanse your crystals before use. However it is not necessary for Amethyst, Citrine & Kyanite. Two of the simplest methods of cleansing are placing crystals on an Amethyst cluster for 12 - 24 hours or out in the light of a full moon. Other methods include smudging eg. sandalwood, sage incense. Place in a stream, spring lake or out in the rain, * Not recommended for selenite.  Bury in the earth for 3 days soak in flowers eg. rose petals, orange blossom, honeysuckle for 24 hours. Energize crystals in the sun. *please note it is not not recommended that crystals be cleansed in sea salt or rock salt solution as salt crystals can enter the crystal via fracture and imperfections and ultimately damage the crystal.

General Programming Infomation

Take the crystal in your left hand, cover with your right hand imagine all your energy entering the crystal for the purpose of what you are programming the crystal for.

As crystals have many uses it is necessary to program them for the specific pourpose for witch you intend to use them.

All crystals should be sent love and blessed.

Why do you think that? The crystal knows far better than a simple human what to do. There is no need to program them at all, just choose the right crystal for the right job

programing is the prosess of instructing the energies of the crystal in the method in which to use its qualities for transformation, stability and atunement, as many people know some crystals have many diffrent pourposes how does the crystal know what to do if you dont ask it?, its like any form if you want it to help you how does it know how to help you if you dont direct it to help you?. This is what i believe any ways!

I suppose again I am different lol  When I was originally told about cleansing crystals and stones, I wasn't told to use other stones or any of the other methods I read about in these posts.  I was told to hold it and envision a waterfall falling onto it and through it.  That the waterfall would take any "negative" or "bad" energy or anything else that was attached to it that should not be there.

I have to admit, this has worked for me in the little work I do do with crystals, as I have never had a problem.  I suppose what it comes down to is what you have trained yourself to do and what they allow you to do to them.  When I charge objects (not stones and crystals) I can easily discharge it just by placing my thumb on it, because I trained my energy to do just that.
