Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty and integrity of your dragonfly gemstone pendant:

• Gentle Handling: The delicate wings and thin body require extra care to prevent chips or breaks.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Remove pendant before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes.

• Gentle Cleaning: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently clean detailed wing crevices.

• Proper Storage: Store in a fabric-lined jewelry box or pouch to prevent scratches from harder stones or metals. Consider individual compartments to protect delicate wing edges.

• Energetic Cleansing: To refresh the stone's energy, place under moonlight (especially full moon), smudge with sage, or rest on a selenite charging plate. Given the dragonfly's connection to light, brief exposure to gentle sunlight (for stones that are not sun-sensitive) can also be powerful.
