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.
