Care
- Rose Quartz can be quite sensitive to strong pressure, high temperatures and harsh household chemicals and cleaning agents. Avoid exposing it to bleaches or sulphuric acid. Clean the ergot with warm, soapy water. Wipe the stone with a soft cloth and make sure it is well rinsed to remove any soapy residue. It is best to store stone jewelry and the stones themselves in a fabric-lined box or wrapped in cloth separately from the others to prevent self-damage and possible 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.
