Care
- The best way to clean Rhodonite is with soapy water and a soft cloth. Be sure to rinse the stone well and remove any soapy residue. Do not expose the Rhodonite to sudden changes in temperature. As with most gemstones, the use of ultrasonic cleaners and steamers is not recommended. It is best to store stone jewelry and the stones themselves in a cloth-covered box or wrapped in cloth separately from other stones to prevent self-damage and possible scratches.
- It is advisable not to wear jewellery during major physical activities such as exercise or sports. Avoid spraying perfume and hairspray directly on your jewellery and stones.
