Care and Notes for Your Malachite

Malachite is a sensitive mineral and should be cared for thoughtfully. Since it reacts to acids and strong cleaning agents, we recommend the following handling:

• Only wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth
• Do not use chemical cleaning agents or ultrasonic cleaners
• Do not soak in water – malachite is sensitive to water
• Protect from direct, prolonged sunlight to preserve color intensity
• Store separately from harder minerals to avoid scratches
