I'm not in an area where I can just go out side and bury crystals in earth...

Location Oddities:
For many of us city dwelling is our only alternative.. How are we to bury our stones or crystals in our cities? In this case, a large terracotta pot, organic potting soil and moss gathered from the forest can be used as an alternative.
When Is To Much Salt, To Much:
Salt was and has been prevalent in helping create minerals.. the flow of underground streams, fresh water or springs help carry minerals (raw or liquid state) to a hole, pocket or cavity.. and over the centuries.. this raw, liquid chemistry creates or turns into crystal formations.. and again depending on the chemical compound.. is what type of mineral/s one may end up with.
However, I do not condone the use of a salted solution or getting salt any where near my minerals or crystals..
Sunlight:
The harmful rays of the sun, not only weaken the minerals structure (much like the salt) it can open small cracks and encourage pitting on the surface of the stone. Fading of the crystal will occur if left in direct sunlight for any length of time.
For the last year, I’ve been testing the effects of the sun on a few samples of amethyst. One year not to long ago, I spent nearly three months cutting and shaping an amethyst for my wife. Handing it to her I drop the stone on the floor and the stone broke into several smaller shards.
Setting aside one shard, I placed it out side in direct sunlight for at least one year. The dark purple chevron amethyst is no longer dark.. but a pale/white to clear.. Needless to say.. this theory holds true. One should never place stones in windows or areas of your dwelling that have more then 6 hours of sunlight per day.
Prolonging Life Grid: Sands Of Time
This grid should be setup must like that of a time clock or sundial. In a round sand filled pot, place the larger crystal point (wand) upright (facing/pointing) north. arrange the other stones at the hour, 1/2 hours, 1/4 hour and even mins if so desired. The main stone should be that of a crystal wand approx 8 - 12 inch long and rest at the "12 o'clock" hour. The wand or crystals resting at the 12 o'clock hours make no difference, so use your best judgment when deciding which crystal to place in the spot.
The stones (main or the basic set) should be placed at every adjacent hours put making the time of day etc. The stones /crystals you have within your collecting could use a few more to accompany them within this setting.. The placement of the grid should be out of the sun, off the floor and in an area where it's not going to be disturbed. Routine cleaning or maintenance of these stones should be one or twice a week and returned to their original spot on the grid. (thou can be turned over or around if necessary)
The reasoning behind not posting or suggesting any certain stones or crystals to be placed within this grid, is because each stone can and will change due to the vibrations and atmosphere of its surroundings. Also.. it's getting harder to tell what in fact it is we have (crystals and stones wise).
In other words.. your common since serves your well.. knowing what to look for and any warning signs is well in hand. Never doubt yourself when wanting to place, cleanse or perform your rituals.
