‍Care Instructions:

‍Garden quartz care requires gentle cleaning with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals, and protecting the crystal from hard drops or sudden temperature shifts.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe or wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals, and do not let it soak in salt water for extended periods to protect the natural inclusions from degrading.

• Storage: Wrap your Fire Quartz individually in a soft cloth or place it in a padded box to prevent the edges from scratching or chipping other stones.

• Handling: Avoid dropping the crystal on hard surfaces to prevent cracks or breakage.‍
