Precautions and maintenance of Malachite

The Malachite, rich in copper, requires special attention to preserve its characteristic green radiance. It is an acid-sensitive mineral, even those present in sweating, especially in prolonged contacts. It should not be exposed to extreme temperatures or left too long in the sun. It is not recommended to immerse it in water or store it in a humid environment. To clean it, use a soft, dry or slightly moistened cloth if necessary, taking care to dry it properly.
