 Gem Chrysocolla Care and Cleaning Instructions

​

​

Chrysocolla is a rather soft gemstone, so extra care should always be taken to retain its attractive polish. It can be easily scratched by other gems and jewelry, so it should be worn and cleaned separately. When cleaning chrysocolla gemstones, simply use a soft cloth or brush and plain soapy water. Do not use any ultrasonic cleaners or steamers and avoid the use of any harsh household chemicals, such as bleach or amnonia conatining product. To prevent permanent damage to the color of your stones, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat.

​

​

Chrysocolla gemstones and jewelry should always be stored separately from other gems and jewelry. When storing your chrysocolla, it is best to wrap your stones individually using a soft cloth, or place them inside a fabric-lined jewelry box for added protection. Always be sure to remove any jewelry before playing sports, exercising or performing any vigorous household chores.
