Proper Storage and Care for Brochantite from Morocco

Store the piece protected from direct sunlight, strong humidity, and mechanical impacts. A clean, dry place in a display case or on a pedestal is ideal. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is recommended – water and aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided to preserve the fine crystal structures.
