Crystal and Copper Care
There are many ways to keep your crystal jewellery energetically charged, but an easy way is to use the natural energy of the sun or the moon. For sunlight, leave them outside for anywhere from six to 24 hours, making sure to bring them inside if there's inclement weather. You can also leave your stones on a windowsill before dawn and remove them after sunset, to get the most sunlight exposure possible.For moonlight cleansing and charging, place the crystal outside on the ground, overnight on the night of the full moon.
To take care of your crystal jewellery, we recommend giving your crystals a light polish regularly, to remove dust or dirt on the surface, and to maintain their shine. A soft, lint-free cloth is perfect for this task. If you have multiple pieces of crystal jewellery, which we highly recommend :-), store them separately or in pouches to prevent scratching and damage. Avoid storing harder crystals with softer ones to prevent potential damage.
Please remember that some crystals may be more fragile and it is best to always remove your jewelry before sleeping or exercising.
Copper is a beautiful metal with many health benefits. With time, depending on where you store it, where you live, and how often you wear it, copper will oxidise. Oxidation causes the metal to change colour, darken, and sometimes even grow areas of green/blue on the surface. It is, however, super easy to return your copper back to the lustrous colour it was with some metal cleaner (check that it is good for copper) and a microfibre cloth.
If you purchase copper rings, you may find that your finger darkens or turns green where it is in contact with the copper. When copper mingles with external elements such as oxygen, sweat on your skin, and other oils, it can leave copper carbonate on the skin, which shows up as this green layer. This reaction is completely natural and not at all harmful and is easily cleaned off.
