Care and Handling of Your Heulandite Geode

Due to the relatively low Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4, heulandite should be handled with care. Avoid mechanical stress, prolonged direct sunlight, and contact with aggressive cleaning agents. A slightly damp, soft cloth is sufficient for cleaning. For energetic care, many crystal enthusiasts recommend a brief airing outdoors or placing it near clear quartz clusters.
