Caring for your Brandberg Amethyst

To ensure your natural crystal retains its beauty over the long term, we recommend the following care instructions:

1. Clean the stone occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
2. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as intense UV radiation can fade the violet color over time.
3. Store it separately from harder minerals to avoid scratches.
4. For energetic cleansing, tradition suggests briefly placing it on clear quartz or smudging it with sage.
