Never wear your jewelry in a hot tub or swimming pool! Chlorinated hot tubs and swimming pools are a no-no for jewelry of all types. Chlorine is a very caustic chemical and will damage all fine jewelry unless it is made exclusively of platinum or palladium.
Quick immersion in salt water will not cause any damage or discolouration to amethyst. However, this crystal should not be left sitting in saltwater for extended periods of time. This is because saltwater has corrosive properties.
Yes - but not for an extended period. Even though Rose Quartz is a hard mineral (Quartz family), prolonged submersion can damage the stone. If you are going to submerge your Rose Quartz, be sure to rinse it off with clean water after taking it out of the pool, ocean, or even bath.
Rock crystals such as Quartz (including Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Apricot Quartz, etc.), Jasper, Citrine, Jade, Ametrine, Tiger's eye, Amethyst, Agate, Black Tourmaline, and Petrified Wood are all considered safe additions to your aquarium.
The rocks to avoid are those that are highly calcareous—meaning they have a large amount of calcium. Also, always avoid sharp-edged rocks that can harm your fish.
Obsidian is an inert rock that doesn't have an impact on water parameters. This makes it a good choice for all aquariums because it will not cause the PH to go up or down. Furthermore, it won't have an influence on the water hardness either.
It is stable to light but is harmed by exposure to hydrofluoric acid. Warm soapy water is the only recommended substance for cleaning moonstones. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are never recommended.
Even though lapis lazuli can go in water, it is not recommended to leave the stone in water for extended periods of time due to its porous nature. Clean undyed lapis with lukewarm soapy water; test dyed materials to see how they react to water before cleaning.
Any stone that is a 6 or above on the Mohs Scale is not water soluble and can be placed in water without an issue. Citrine, a form of crystalline Quartz, lands at a 7 on the Mohs scale, so this stone is fine if it comes in contact with water.
Protect from Chemicals – Hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride and alkaline solutions, most of which are found in household cleaners can severely damage the amethyst. Even perfumes, hand sanitizers, and hairsprays must be kept away from this stone.
SUNLIGHT. Leave them out in daylight on a windowsill for 30 minutes (even on a cloudy day), and the Sun will do the job. Some people like to charge their crystals under the light of a Full Moon, although not everyone thinks this is a potent enough power to charge a crystal.
Most Jade can be used with running water, but should not be submerged in water for long periods of time. The water should also be completely free of chlorine, and other chemicals, as this stone is very sensitive.
Unlike diamonds, crystals are not nearly as dense. That means they tend to float just under the surface of the water or halfway in the glass. To test your own stone, fill a glass of water. Drop the stone into the glass—if it sinks, you'll know your diamond is real, but if it floats it means it's an imitation.
Absorbent materials such as cotton can break down in the water. These fibers can clog pool filters and create the need for expensive repairs. Lycra and Nylon are the best non-absorbent materials for swimwear.
If it floats chances are good it is real.
Can Tigers Eye go in the sun? Tigers Eye is a stone that is ruled by the sun and mars. It is quite a hardy and dark stone so it shouldn't have much issue when placed in the sun. However, you should limit all crystal exposure to the sun to a few hours to avoid dramatic shifts in temperature.
Real lapis lazuli will remain cool to the touch, even after holding it for a while. Plastic imitations will never feel as cool and glass imitations will warm up quickly if you hold them in your hand. Additionally, rubbing the piece with acetone can determine its legitimacy.
Malachite cannot go in water. It has a 3,5 on the Mohs scale, meaning it can become brittle and break when left to soak. Water that has come into contact with malachite should NOT be ingested, as is likely toxic. Safe ways to cleanse malachite are dry salt, smoke cleansing, sound, selenite or burying it.
Like I mentioned before, you can use moon water for anything you want, you can drink it and feel the energy of the moon, or you can put it in a bottle and spray your home with it, you can also water your plants, heat it and drink it in tea, anything you want.
Can Rainbow Moonstone go in the Water? Yes, rainbow Moonstone can go in the water. Rainbow moonstone is technically a variety of labradorite, not moonstone, and it has a hardness of 6-6.5 on the Mohs Scale. So, it can survive underwater, but it should not be immersed for too long.
Moonstone Care Do's:
Remove your moonstone jewelry when cleaning, showering, working out, and at night. Regular body oils, sweat, and lotion can build up quickly causing the stone to look matte in appearance.
Boiling the rocks and gravel for 10-20 minutes in regular tap water that is at a rolling boil should kill any unwanted pathogens. CAUTION—rocks stay hot for a very long time. Let them cool a long time before you handle them.
In reality, obsidian is easily broken by human action and can also be worn down by the weather. This would make it a terrible substance from which to build a fortress.
A related myth is that soft minerals will somehow dissolve in a tank. “Just be sure not to use calcite, opal, or any “soft” stones on the MOHs scale under scaling of 7-8. (Quartz is one of the higher-rated stones.) the softer the stone is, the more likely it is to dissolve and chip or leak minerals into the water.”
