Unlike industrially coated, polymer-stabilized, or dyed commercial beads, SUIYING talismans are crafted exclusively from 100% natural, untreated earth minerals. Because they retain their authentic geological pores and crystalline boundaries, they deserve gentle, mindful stewardship.
1. Water, Salt & Chemical Sensitivity
Water may seem purifying, but immersion can permanently compromise untreated mineral integrity:
- Porosity & Dissolution: Minerals with Mohs hardness below 6 (such as untreated Lapis Lazuli, Selenite, Turquoise, and Malachite) can absorb moisture, leading to dulling or micro-fissuring.
- Silk Cording Longevity: Submerging hand-knotted natural Japanese silk in chlorinated tap water or hot showers causes the fibers to expand, weaken, and stretch over time.
- Chemicals & Fragrances: Apply skincare lotions, essential oils, and perfumes prior to putting on your talisman. Direct alcohol or synthetic chemicals can degrade natural surface luster.
2. Cleansing Without Liquids
To preserve both the stone’s polish and its vibrational clarity:
- Dry Polish: Buff gently with our included micro-fiber jeweler's cloth to remove daily skin oils and ambient dust.
- Sound & Smoke Clearing: Bathe in aromatic Himalayan cedar smoke or sound frequencies (432Hz Tibetan singing bowl or Koshi chimes).
- Selenite Rest: Store resting on a raw Moroccan Selenite slab overnight to naturally draw out discordant static frequencies.
3. Thermal Shock & Direct Sunlight
Certain high-vibrational minerals—especially untreated Amethyst, Rose Quartz, and Natural Citrine—contain delicate natural trace chromophores that can gently fade if exposed to harsh, prolonged midday sun. We recommend charging exclusively under soft lunar light.
4. Sacred Storage
When not gracing your body during meditation or daily life, store your talisman inside its breathable SUIYING raw unbleached linen pouch, isolated from metallic keys or abrasive jewelry.
