Care & Cleansing

  • Gentle Cleaning: Clean Peridot with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat.
  • Energy Cleansing: Recharge by placing under moonlight overnight, on a selenite plate, or using sage or palo santo smoke. Check sun sensitivity — some crystals fade in direct sunlight.
  • Storage: Store separately from harder stones to prevent surface scratches. A soft cloth pouch or lined jewelry box is ideal for preserving its natural beauty.
