Running Water: Leave it under running water (from the tap or a natural source) for a few minutes. Visualize all energetic impurities being washed away.

Moonlight: Moonlight, especially the Full Moon, is perfect for charging Aquamarine, realigning it with its energy of fluidity and intuition. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade its color.
