When wearing your Jewellery, whether it be a Crystal piece or other, it is vital that you protect it from scratches, sharp blows, chemicals, constant direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Crystals are fragile, even though some are high in the Mohs scale, as being very hard and durable. Its important to note and be aware, that some Crsystals actually react to water. They may start to disolve or release toxic chemicals.
Gemstones are precious stones, that are formed from the earth. They need to be appreciated and respected for this very purpose! - not just because they are expensive and look pretty.
Here are a few top tips, to help you care for your Jewllery and Crystals.
Do not wear your Jewellery in a swimming pool, hot-tub, or whilst showering/bathing.
Take your Jewellery off whilst undertaking exercise, or other forms of sports, that would cause you to sweat.
Gently Clean your jewellery occasionally to remove any oils, dust.
You can do this by using a soft clean lint-free cloth . Simply polish each crystal with a dry cloth, using a gentle circular action. If your crystal jewellery or Crystal has stubborn marks that won't shift, it might need a deeper clean. This can be done with a soft-bristle toothbrush and some soapy water. (But ENSURE you check if your Crystal is suitable to be cleaned with water)
Here are a few Crystals that should avoid water - Malachite, Calcite, Hematite, Fluorite and Selenite.
Most commercially prepared jewellery cleaners are safe, but beware of those that contain ammonia or chemicals that can damage sensitive gems like pearl or amber.
Regularly cleanse your crystals to re-energise their powers by either; placing them under the moonlight overnight, sunlight, or Water (again please check prior to using water on your crystals to see if its suitable)
Use another method to cleanse your Crystal or Crystal Jewellery. Stones such as: Selenite, Carnelian and Quartz all hold powerful cleansing qualities and can be use to cleanse other Crystals or the Environment.
Another method would be to use the Smudging method with Sage or you could use a Singing Bowl.
