✨ Crystal Care Guide

Caring for Your Treasures from Moon and Stars Gems

Thank you for supporting our small family-owned boutique! Each crystal is a unique piece of nature that deserves a little love to keep it looking beautiful for years to come.

 

🧼 Cleaning Your Crystals

Most crystals can be gently cleaned with:

• A soft microfiber cloth
• Lukewarm water
• Mild soap if needed

After cleaning, dry thoroughly with a soft towel.

Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or soaking porous stones.

 

☀️ Keep Away from Prolonged Sunlight

Many crystals can fade after long exposure to direct sunlight, including:

• Amethyst
• Rose Quartz
• Fluorite
• Celestite
• Kunzite

Display these beauties in bright rooms but out of direct afternoon sun.

 

💧 Water Safety

Not every crystal enjoys water.

Water-safe examples:

• Clear Quartz
• Rose Quartz
• Agate
• Carnelian
• Aventurine

Avoid soaking:

• Selenite
• Satin Spar
• Malachite
• Pyrite
• Angelite
• Lepidolite

When in doubt, simply dust with a dry cloth.

 

🏡 Display Tips

To keep your crystals looking their best:

• Display on stable shelves or trays.
• Keep away from extreme heat or freezing temperatures.
• Avoid placing heavy crystals on delicate surfaces.
• Rotate your displays occasionally to prevent uneven fading.

 

💎 Handle with Care

Although crystals are made of stone, many are surprisingly delicate.

Some, like fluorite, calcite, selenite, and angelite, can chip or scratch easily.

Always handle carvings, towers, and points by the base whenever possible.

 

📦 Storage

If storing your crystals:

• Wrap each piece individually in soft cloth or tissue.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep harder stones separated from softer ones to prevent scratches.

 

🌿 Natural Beauty

Every crystal is one of a kind.

You may notice:

• Natural inclusions
• Small surface lines
• Color variations
• Tiny pits or texture differences

These are natural characteristics that make each piece beautifully unique—not imperfections.

 

Natural Stone Disclaimer: Because our crystals are created by nature, each piece is unique. Variations in color, pattern, inclusions, shape, and size are natural and should be expected. These characteristics make every crystal one of a kind.
