Mystic Quartz should be handled with the same care as opals and pearls.
a) The thin film treatment applied to gemstones producing beautiful iridescent colors is quite durable and hard, however it is very thin, being only a few microns thick.
b) If the wearer utilizes care, the enhancement will last the life of the jewelry setting.
c) The enhanced gemstone should not be exposed to any abrasives, acids, or immersed in an ultrasonic cleaner. Ultrasonic cleaners may contain a pickling solution that would cause damage to the enhanced surface of the gemstone.
d) Abrasive cloths may scratch the enhanced surface of the gemstone. This may not remove the treatment, but scratching the optical surface will affect the reflection of light traveling through the gemstone. This influences the color and clarity of the gemstone.
e) High heat may adversely affect the refractive index: eliminating color-intensity. Heat should NOT be applied to the enhanced surface of the gemstone.
f) Cleaners: use only cleaners that are safe for pearls or opals to clean the enhanced gemstones. A mild soap and water rinse also works well. Simply wash off the dulling surface oils and blot dry with a clean paper towel. This will restore the colors to their original luster and brilliance.
