Here are a list of Crystals that are safe and unsafe for water. This list is based off of items in our shop.
Water Safe Crystals:
Clear Quartz
Rose Quartz
Amethyst
Smokey Quartz
Citrine
Agate
Moonstone
Carnelian (though NOT safe in salt water)
Jasper
Tiger's Eye
Aventurine
Black Obsidian (FYI: can break in EXTREME cold or hot water temperatures)
Some say add salt into water, however salt can be corrosive to most unpolished gems. If using salt be sure to use pink Himalayan salt!
Water Unsafe Crystals
Fluorite (especially SALT water)
Selenite
Apophyllite
Tangerine Quartz
Gypsum
Lepidolite
Opal
Azurite
Apatite
Halite
Malachite
Turquoise
Ulexite
Labradorite
Celestite
Pyrite
Hematite
Many of the crystals on the unsafe list will completely dissolve when place in water, or they will lose their shine. Now don't get me wrong you can quick rinse, but do not soak these crystals in water at all.
