PHYSICAL CARE
- Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, water, salt and sudden temperature changes.
- Although Tiger’s Iron is generally suitable for careful handling, its polished surface may scratch or chip if knocked against hard surfaces. Handle with care and avoid drops or prolonged contact with harder minerals.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as a general precaution.
ENERGETIC CLEANSING
Sound cleansing or a moment of focused intention can be gentle alternatives for those who use crystals in spiritual practice. Smoke cleansing is another traditional option when carried out safely.
