How to Care for Crystal Home Decor
Treat it like an object you like looking at.
A tower on a desk and a cluster on a nightstand pick up the same film as picture frames. Care is dust and placement. If a practice helps you pause, keep it. Do not confuse that with a required wash.
Weekly
Towers and spheres: microfiber, dry first. If they look greasy from hands, a barely damp cloth, then dry immediately.
Clusters and geodes: soft dry brush into the points. Water sits in pockets and leaves marks on the wood underneath.
Crystal trees: hold the base. Brush chips. Do not dunk the wire trunk.
Trays and mats from ritual kits: shake out, dry indoor storage. No washing machine.
What to skip
Salt bowls against raw stone or against the table finish.
Vinegar, glass spray, essential-oil mixes on porous pieces.
Soaking amethyst, citrine or glued trees.
Direct noon sun for days on pale rose quartz or heat-sensitive color. Side light is enough.
By room
Desk: fingerprints. Wipe the tower when you wipe the keyboard.
Nightstand: less dust, more lotion. Keep the sphere off the cream bottle.
Entry: street grit. Brush the cluster; do not leave wet gloves on it.
Shelf: finest dust. Brush weekly or the points go matte.
After you move a piece
Check the stand. Spheres roll. Trees lean. A felt pad under a tower saves the oak.
When something chips
Keep the piece if you still like it. A small chip on a cluster is geology, not a defect you have to hide. A broken tree branch can be tucked back or left. Do not glue with household adhesive if you still want the look of metal and chip.
The two-minute version
Brush. Wipe the table. Put the stone back where you can see it. That is care. The Reset, Balance and Protection pages are for the pause—not for washing.
