Care and handling of your Apophyllite-Stilbite Cluster

Apophyllite is a relatively delicate mineral and should be handled with care. The following care instructions help preserve the beauty of your piece long-term:

1. Do not store in water or humid environments – Apophyllite is sensitive to moisture.
2. Protect from direct, prolonged sunlight, as intense UV radiation can affect the color over the long term.
3. Dust with a dry, soft cloth – do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
4. Avoid impacts and vibrations, as the crystal tips are prone to breakage.
5. For energetic cleansing, tradition recommends the proximity of Selenite or smudging with sage.
