This post is all over the place. I cut and pasted the information from Facebook. I'm NOT in the mood to fix it -- correct spacing, etc. lol
Selenite doesn't tolerate water. It'll disintegrate in water.
Sandy Thaxton-Hicks Selenite cannot tolerate water at all.

Nikki Sade Green aventurine?
Sandy Thaxton-Hicks I don't know about that one.
From Chandrielle Mitchell Mostly smooth polished crystals HOWEVER, some agates ate dyed and the color will bleed. If you're using sea salt, u don't necessarily need water. Definitely don't put star aragonite or selenite in water.
If in doubt about how to cleanse a crystal, a very safe & effective way is with high pitch sound vibrations such as Tibetan bells, chimes, or a singing bowl. That way you don't have to work about what's hazardous to your crystals.

Sandy Thaxton-Hicks I cleanse some of my crystals using Sage incense using a feather to wave the smoke over the crystals.

Sandy Thaxton-Hicks Striking that you mentioned sun as I was just looking for which crystals can safely be in the sun. Some fade in sunlight, Nikki Sade.

Sandy Thaxton-Hicks Citrine is safe in water as is Bloodstone.
From Angel Herron A good general rule of thumb is to not submerge crystals with a MOH hardness level of 5 or less. Also if you are going to keep the crystal in the water for a long period of time, make sure it does not contain iron -- like Hematite, Magnetite, and Lodestone -- because it can cause them to oxidize.

From Angel Herron Avoid Sunlight: These crystals should avoid being placed in sunlight for prolonged periods of time. This list will include many of the most common crystals. This list is not exhaustive, but it will give you a good start.
Amegreen, Amethyst, Ametrine, Apophyllite Green, Aquamarine, Auralite23, Celestite, Citrine, Fluorite, Hiddenite, Kunzite, Opal (will dry out), Prasiolite, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Spirit Quartz, Super Seven, Topaz, Turquoise.

Nikki Sade I just won't put any of them in the sun lol
From Angel Herron:Here are some examples. They do not exhaust the entire list of hazardous stones. First, crystals that contain copper or lead should never be used. This group includes Azurite, Malachite, Galena, Chalcopyrite, and others. Hematite as an iron based stone should not be put in water as prolonged exposure to water makes it rust. Some salt crystals dissolve in water, so they should be avoided too. Other stones, like for example Tiger's Eye, contain asbestos and likewise should not be used for charging water.
