Care & Maintenance

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Citrine can be sensitive to prolonged sunlight exposure, which may cause the color to fade over time. Store it in a cool, dry jewelry box when not in use.

Keep Away from Chemicals

Perfume, lotions, alcohol, and cleaning agents may damage the crystal surface or reduce its natural brilliance. Remove jewelry before applying such products, bathing, or swimming.

Regular Cleansing

• Basic method: Rinse gently with clean water for 1–2 minutes and dry with a soft cloth.
• Traditional method: Some people prefer placing the crystal under moonlight for a few hours during a full moon as a symbolic cleansing practice.

Important Precautions

Avid Sharing Jewelry

Many crystal enthusiasts prefer not to share personal crystals, as they believe crystals absorb the energy of their wearer.

Avoid Hard Impact

Although citrine has a Mohs hardness of about 7, it can still crack if subjected to strong impact. Handle and store with care.

Special Considerations

Pregnant individuals and infants are generally advised to avoid wearing crystal jewelry primarily to prevent unnecessary concern regarding energy symbolism.
