Questions on maintenance and cleaning

* General cleaning: wipe with a soft cloth, rinse with running water (avoid prolonged immersion), dry naturally. Avoid contact with chemicals (perfume, cosmetics, detergents).

* Fragile crystals: such as calcite, tremolite, fluorite, etc. Low hardness, easily soluble in acid, avoid washing and collision. Wipe the dust with a dry soft cloth.

* Metal parts: S925 silver need to keep dry, avoid contact with sulfur soap and other sulfur-containing substances, blackening available silver cloth. Gold-plated jewelry to reduce friction and sweat soaked, stored separately.

* Avoid: prolonged exposure to the sun (may lead to discoloration), violent temperature differences (may lead to rupture), hard objects collision, ultrasonic cleaner (risk for some cracked crystals and metal joints).

* :: “Demagnetization” maintenance: common methods include: rinsing under running water for a few minutes (suitable for crystals that do not dissolve easily in water), exposure to moonlight/sunlight (avoid exposure to sunlight), purification of clusters/caves, smoking (e.g., sage), and burying in the earth. Different crystals have different suitable methods (e.g. pink crystal, amethyst is not recommended to be exposed to the sun for a long time).

Frequently asked questions

Is this a natural crystal? Could it be man-made or glass?

We are committed to selling crystals that are naturally occurring mineral crystals. We are committed to providing truthful and reliable descriptions and pictures of our products.
You can distinguish the authenticity by: observing the internal inclusions (natural crystals usually have inclusions or growth textures), feeling the temperature (natural crystals are cold to the touch and dissipate heat faster), checking the luster (natural crystals have a warm luster), but the most reliable way is to pass the test of a professional organization.

Are the energies/effects of crystals real?

The energies and effects of crystals belong to the realm of traditional culture, metaphysics or personal beliefs. We respect the understanding of crystals by different cultures and belief systems, and provide truthful information about traditional cultural symbolism (e.g. attracting wealth, love, warding off evil spirits, healing, etc.). However, we are unable to provide scientific evidence to support these claims, and we recommend that you view them as cultural symbols or psychological hints, and choose them rationally and according to your personal preferences.

Which crystal is right for me? (Selection based on efficacy)

The most important thing in choosing crystals is “eye contact” and personal preference! If you refer to the traditional cultural symbolism:
* Attracting money/business: citrine, green ghost, chrysoberyl, titanium, tiger's eye
* Love/Relationships: Pink Crystal, Rhodochrosite, Strawberry Crystal
* Health / Healing: Amethyst, White Crystal, Black Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Garnet
* Protection from Evil: Black Obsidian, Tea Crystal, Black Hair Crystal, Onyx
* Wisdom/Schooling: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Crystal
* Peace/Emotional Stability: Moonstone, Labradorite, Blue Agate, Pink Crystals Suggestion: Once you know the general classification, choose the one that you are attracted to at first sight, which is usually the most suitable for you.

Will the color and texture of the real thing be the same as the picture?

Due to the uniqueness of natural crystals, the color, texture, cotton wool, ice cracks and other natural features will vary from one crystal to another. We strive to show the item realistically through high-definition physical photos and detailed descriptions. We recommend that you carefully review the multi-angle pictures and descriptions on the item's detail page before purchasing.

What is the metal used in the jewelry? Will the color fade?

The material of the metal accessories we use will be clearly labeled in the product details (e.g. S925 silver, 18K gold clad, pure copper plated with real gold/platinum, titanium steel, alloy, etc.).
* S925 silver: 92.5% pure silver, stable but may oxidize and darken (non-fading, can be wiped to restore brightness).
* 18K gold clad / gold injection: in the base metal surface covered with a thicker layer of real gold, good color retention, not easy to allergies.
* Copper plated gold / white gold: surface plating may be due to friction, sweat, chemical substances and wear fading, need to pay attention to maintenance.
* Titanium steel: corrosion-resistant, not easy to allergy, not easy to change color.
