Care & Maintenance

Daily Care

1. Avoid Impact Malachite has a Mohs hardness of about 3.5–4, making it relatively soft and easy to scratch. Handle gently and store separately from harder jewelry such as gold, silver, or gemstones.
2. Avoid Heat & Chemicals Prolonged sunlight may cause fading, while high temperatures may lead to cracking. Remove the jewelry before:
   • Applying perfume or lotion
   • Bathing or swimming
   • Using cleaning products
   Chemicals, alcohol, and sweat may damage the stone’s surface.
3. Regular Cleansing · Two common methods are:
   • Simple method Rinse briefly with room-temperature water for about one minute, then gently dry with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking.
   • Moonlight method Place the stone by a window under moonlight for 2–3 hours during a full moon for gentle energetic cleansing.
   Avoid soaking malachite in saltwater or essential oils, as this may damage the mineral structure.

Important Precautions

1. Avoid Frequent Sharing Malachite is traditionally believed to absorb the emotional energy of the wearer, so it is generally recommended as a personal item.
2. Avoid Harsh Cleaning Do not use brushes, abrasive tools, or harsh cleaning agents, as they may scratch the surface.
3. Special Considerations Pregnant women and infants are generally advised not to wear energy stones unnecessarily. Individuals with sensitive skin should try short-term wear first to ensure there is no irritation.
