Crystal Care
Avoid water. Rhodochrosite is a relatively soft manganese carbonate mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4, and it can be damaged by water exposure over time. Do not soak or rinse. Cleanse energetically by smudging with sage or palo santo, using sound cleansing with a singing bowl, or placing on a Selenite charging plate. Recharge in moonlight. Handle with care and store separately from harder stones to preserve the polished surface.
