Charms
To make a stone/crystal charm, smudge it with corresponding incense and charge it with intent. The charm can be the stone itself, the stone in a charm bag, or jewlery made from the stone. This will bring good things to you.

To banish negative energies, charge a stone with your negative thoughts/energy and carry it with you for 24 hours. Once all of your negative energy has moved into the stone, bury it or throw it into a natural body of water.

Elixirs
To make an elixir, get a stone, pure water, and an air tight jar. Charge the stone with intent and put it and the water in the jar and place the jar in sunlight for 1 - 9 days. Numerology can play a a part in the number of days. Elixirs can be used for blessings, charms, in baths, and even in food (if the stones aren't toxic).

Healing Stones
A general rule is to place a stone that's the same color of the chakra that corresponds to what you're trying to heal on that chakra.

For example, if you're trying to heal a physical heart problem or a love issue, place a green stone such as aventurine on the 4th chakra.

How to Cleanse Stones
Stones are reusuable, however between uses, it's a good idea to cleanse your stones. You can use either of the 4 elements to cleanse stones.

Earth Cleansing - Put the stone in a natural sack (i.e. cotton, silk) and bury it for at least 24 hours.

Water Cleansing - Put the stone in a sack and tie it to a stake near natural water. Let the sack bob in the water for at least 24 hours. If you're not near natural water, you can put the stones under running tap water while sending "white light" into it for cleansing.

Air Cleansing - Hold the stone over the smoke of blessed incense and say blessing and cleansing words. You can also leave the stone in full moonlight.

Fire Cleansing - Allow the stone to sit in the sun and be cleansed by its energy. Fire cleansing is most effective during equinoxes and solstices.
