Crystal Care Guide

Care Instructions
Care & Handling
Rhodochrosite is relatively soft, brittle and possesses perfect cleavage. Protect it from scratches, impacts, acids, perfumes, household chemicals, excessive heat and sudden temperature changes. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning. Use a soft dry or minimally damp cloth for routine care.
Water Exposure
Avoid prolonged soaking. Brief surface cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap may be used cautiously on intact, untreated material, followed by prompt drying. Avoid water exposure where the stone is fractured, treated, glued or mounted. Do not use Rhodochrosite to prepare drinking-water crystal infusions or elixirs.
Sunlight Exposure
Avoid prolonged intense sunlight and excessive heat. Conservative storage away from sustained strong light and heat is preferable, particularly for strongly coloured, treated, glued or delicate material.
Salt Cleansing
Direct salt and salt-water cleansing are not recommended. Abrasive salt can scratch this relatively soft mineral, while prolonged saline moisture may affect fractures, treatments, adhesives and jewellery components.
