Care
- Kyanite is quite durable, but it is somewhat fragile compared to many other gemstones. Avoid using ultrasonic or steam cleaners and avoid bleach or other chemicals and cleaners. When cleaning Kyanite, use only water and mild soap. Wipe the stone with a soft cloth and rinse well to remove any soapy residue. When storing stone jewellery or the stones themselves, it is best to place them in a cloth-covered box or wrap them in a cloth separately from other stones to prevent damage and scratches.
- It is advisable to remove jewellery during major physical activities such as exercise or sports. Avoid spraying perfume and hairspray directly on your jewellery and stones.
