I don't have any distilled water handy, and I want to get the petals now, as I've already waited a bit too long as it is.

I wonder if boiling water would suffice?

Where I live there is a Indian grocery store near by, that sells rose water. But I didn't have enough cash, and it was under 10 bucks so I couldn't use my card.
I was gonna buy some to charge my rose quarts.

Yeah, I can definitely buy it in a few places, but I want to try to make some myself. I tried a few times last year, but I kept forgetting the distilled water part.

But of course what you said makes sense.

That reminds me I should cleanse my tiger eye and agate tonight.

I'm often skeptical, as some sites will say different things.

Sometimes, I just listen to the stones and they seem to be pretty content to let me know where they do and do not wish to be placed.

I believe that there can be multiple ways to charge and cleanse different gems.
I know that some methods work for rocks and others don't. Sunlight might be good for a citrine, while sunlight will turn an amethyst green. Some will say water for flourite while its damaging to hematite.

I feel like as long as you know what not to do for certain stones, you can try any other recommended method.

What seems to be harmless for all gems is sage, bells(never tried it) and moonlight.(the energy for moonlight even seemed to work well for my citrine)

But I say when in doubt, sage and moonlight. Also seems to be the most convenient method for me.

I know sites will say different things for how often to cleanse and charge, and if there is no information, I try to cleanse and charge mine once a week.

All the recommended sites I've come across I've copied and pasted to microsoft in alphabetical order.

From my personal experience so far, I feel that cleansing and charging are both important, like you can't have one with out the other. Cleanse to rid it of any negative energy, and charging to really benefit from its energy.

Never seen this site before but it pretty cool since they are sharing their personal experience on how to cleanse and charge it. http://hecate-horus.hubpages.com/hub/All-About-Tigers-Eye-Stone

I check out this one a lot http://www.psychic-revelation.com/reference/a_d/crystals/charging_cleansing_crystals. html

youtube might be helpful too, I never really tried youtube.

I think I'll stick with sage and moonlight, then.

Perhaps water for stones that seem to like it. Earth for others, I suppose, and rain for some.

Seriously! It is, but I'm still unsure as to whether or not rose water does much good for my face...

But yeah, I dislike spending that much money on products I'm not entirely sure I like, and can (theoretically) make myself, heh.

I know that it's not much in the grand scheme of things, but when I add that cost to the cost of the EOs I buy, the beeswax, the calendula oil, herbal supplements, etc... Nah.
