Care & Maintenance

Daily Care

Avoid Impact

Moonstone has a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, making it relatively delicate. Avoid dropping or rubbing against harder gemstones or metals.

Avoid Heat & Chemicals

Prolonged sunlight may weaken its optical effect. Remove before applying perfume, lotion, or entering hot environments such as baths or saunas.

Regular Cleansing

• Rinse gently with clean water for 1–2 minutes, then dry with a soft cloth.
• For traditional cleansing, place under moonlight during a full moon for 2–3 hours.
• Avoid soaking in saltwater, which may damage the stone.

Important Notes

Avoid Sharing

In crystal traditions, Moonstone is believed to absorb the wearer's emotional energy, so sharing may disrupt this connection.

Avoid Harsh Cleaning

Do not scrub with hard brushes or abrasive materials to prevent surface scratches.

Special Populations

Pregnant women, infants, or individuals with sensitive skin should use caution and test briefly before long-term wear.
