How to properly store and care for brochantite from Morocco

With a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4, brochantite is a comparatively soft mineral and should therefore be handled with care. Keep the piece protected from direct sunlight, strong humidity, and mechanical impact. A clean, dry spot in a display case or on a stand is ideal. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is recommended – water and aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided to preserve the fine crystal structures.
