Care & Maintenance

Our pieces are natural works of art, formed over millions of years. With proper care, they will remain timeless companions for generations. Each mineral has its own qualities, requiring thoughtful handling.

General Care for All Crystals & Minerals

• Dust gently with a soft microfiber or cotton cloth.

• Avoid harsh cleaners, chemicals, and abrasives — they can damage the surface or dull the polish.

• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight as some stones may fade.

• Use two hands when lifting to protect both the stone and the stand.

• Placement: Avoid areas with high humidity or constant temperature fluctuations.

Colombian Quartz

• Naturally durable, but can chip if dropped.

• Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth. If deeper cleaning is needed, use lukewarm water and wipe dry immediately.

• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners — natural fractures may expand.

Rose Quartz

• Sensitive to sunlight; prolonged exposure can cause fading.

• Wipe with a soft cloth only — avoid water immersion, as it can dull polish.

• Place away from heat sources to preserve its natural hue.

Amethyst

• Can fade under direct UV light; keep away from sunny windows.

• Dust lightly and, if necessary, wipe with a barely damp cloth, drying immediately.

• Avoid contact with alcohol-based sprays or oils near the surface.

Marble

• Porous by nature, so protect from oils, wine, and acidic liquids.

• Clean only with pH-neutral stone soap or a soft damp cloth, then dry.

• Never use vinegar, lemon, or abrasive cleaners.

• Consider periodic sealing if used in high-touch areas (for furniture pieces).

Malachite

• A soft, porous stone — extremely sensitive to moisture and chemicals.

• Never use water, soap, or cleaners; simply dust with a dry cloth.

• Avoid skin oils, perfumes, or lotions contacting the surface.

• Handle with gloves for best preservation, especially for polished specimens.
