Care & cleansing
Important: both malachite and chrysocolla are copper minerals and can be toxic if ingested or if dust is inhaled. Never create gem water, elixirs, or infused drinks with this stone, and avoid cutting, grinding, or sanding it. Keep it dry at all times — no soaking, rinsing, or salt cleansing. A soft, dry cloth is the safest way to remove dust. Store away from young children and pets, and keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the color.
