A soft, dry cloth is usually enough for regular dusting; if you'd like to rinse it, keep it brief under lukewarm water and dry it right away rather than soaking it, since prolonged soaking and salt can dull a treated stone's surface over time. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade some citrine over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Citrine Polished Cut Base?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a decorative display object — a polished natural citrine specimen (heat-treated quartz) with a flat cut base.
