Smudging seemed like the route to go, mostly because Abra wasn't entirely sure he could ~feel~ the negative energy coming from the stone, let alone how much. Sure, he felt negative energy, but he felt that every minute of every day and it was called 'anxiety', so he couldn't go around blaming that on the stone. The point was, he didn't know how much time to water cleanse it for, and going for ten minutes even just to be safe meant a lot of waiting around. No, smudging was the way to go.
So Abra moved to the cleansing station with the stone slabs and the bundles of sage. Holding his stone in the last three fingers of one hand, he picked up a bundle of sage, withdrew his wand, and cast, "Incendio," at the end of it. The bundle flamed at once, and Abra waited for a moment before blowing it out again. Trying not to cough too obviously from the fragrant smoke, he took the stone and ran it through it a few times, over and over and over, until the smoke had pretty much dissipated.
With that done, Abra set down the burnt bundle of sage and turned back around, and headed across to the last table where he used the jewellers wire, leather cord, and tools to set about the fiddly work of connecting everything together to make a pendulum. It took him... probably much longer than it should have done, and by the end of it Abra was trying hard not to get frustrated with the process - in fact, it was likely his stone needed cleansing again after that - but he eventually managed it and was left at last with a tiger's eye pendulum.
More or less satisfied, Abra returned back to his seat and waited for the lesson to move on.
