How We Clean Crystals Without Toxic Chemicals
ethical sourcing doesn’t end at the mine. it continues through every step of how your crystals are handled.
We clean and polish the majority of our stones in-house using proprietary, eco-friendly methods designed to preserve their natural vibrancy without exposing them (or you) to harsh chemicals. While much of the industry relies on industrial acids, petroleum-based oils, or mystery polishes. We use only safe, sustainable, non-toxic materials and gentle techniques to clean and polish our stones and crystals
Most crystals don’t arrive looking beautiful—they arrive buried under dirt, clay, and natural debris. By processing them ourselves, we maintain complete control over what touches your stones from the moment they enter our studio. This hands-on approach takes more time, but it ensures each piece is revealed naturally and responsibly, without shortcuts or chemical treatments.
The result: cleaner, safer crystals that honor the earth, protect the environment, and stay true to their authentic form—exactly the way they were meant to be.
Our Proprietary Process
1. A Safer Cleaning Solution
We’ve developed a unique vinegar-based cleaning method as a sustainable alternative to harmful acids like hydrochloric acid. While our approach requires more patience and care, it achieves the same exceptional results without compromising the integrity of the crystal or the environment.
2. Natural, Sustainable Polishing
We use a combination of jojoba oil and grapeseed oil to bring out the natural beauty of our crystals:
Jojoba Oil: A plant-based, biodegradable oil prized for its lightweight texture and resemblance to natural skin oils. It’s safe for handling and spiritual use, making it perfect for polished crystals that you interact with intimately.
Grapeseed Oil: A byproduct of the wine industry, this sustainable oil is odorless and semi-clear, providing a smooth, flawless finish to your crystals.
By avoiding petroleum-based mineral oils used by many in the industry, we ensure that your crystals are free from harmful residues and polished with care and sustainability in mind.
3. Quality Control Through Polishing
Our in-house cleaning and polishing allow us to personally inspect every crystal. During this process, crystals may lose over 50% of their weight as dirt, debris, and loose chips are removed. This thorough process reveals the stone’s natural beauty, ensures stability, and guarantees you receive only the highest-quality materials.
Why Our Process Stands Out
Chemical-Free: Absolutely no harmful chemicals like mineral oil or hydrochloric acid are used, ensuring your crystals are safe to handle and use in spiritual practices.
Environmentally Friendly: Our materials, such as jojoba oil and grapeseed oil, are sustainable and biodegradable, reducing our environmental footprint.
Preserves Natural Beauty: Unlike tumbling or lapidary work to alter a crystal’s original shape and appearance, our method retains the stone’s raw features while enhancing clarity and color.
Handcrafted Excellence: Every crystal is personally inspected, cleaned, and polished, ensuring meticulous quality control.
