Care and cleaning of Spirit Quartz

To help the stone retain its natural radiance, simple care methods are recommended that protect the delicate daughter crystals:

1. Regular cleaning with a soft, dry cloth – do not use harsh cleaning agents
2. Caution with water: the many small crystal points are mechanically sensitive, so the piece should not be soaked in water
3. Energetic cleansing, e.g. by smudging with sage or briefly placing it in sunlight (not for too long, as bright sunlight can slightly bleach quartz)
4. Storage on cotton wool or in a soft pouch to avoid damaging the fine crystal points
