Care and Handling of Your Blue Baryte

Baryte is a rather soft to medium-hard mineral and should be handled with care accordingly. To ensure your piece shines in its full beauty for a long time, we recommend the following care instructions:

• Do not clean with water – baryte can become dull due to moisture
• Dust with a dry, soft cloth
• Protect from impacts and scratches, as the mineral is cleavable
• Do not store permanently in direct sunlight, as intense UV radiation can affect the color over the long term
• Store separately from harder minerals to avoid scratches
