Gemstone Specifications & Care

Mohs Hardness: Lapis Lazuli has a moderate hardness, ranking between 5 and 6 on the Mohs scale. This makes the stone relatively soft and susceptible to scratches and wear, meaning it requires careful handling.

Care and Maintenance:

• Cleaning: The safest cleaning method is using warm, soapy water with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth. Be sure to gently dry the gemstone with a non-abrasive soft cloth afterward.
• Avoidances: Do not use abrasive materials, strong chemicals, or ultrasonic or steam cleaners, as these can damage the stone or its treatments. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, heat, and direct sunlight, which can cause fading or harm the porous composition.
• Storage: Store Lapis Lazuli separately from harder gemstones (like quartz or diamonds) in a soft pouch or fabric-lined compartment to prevent scratching.
• Wearing Protocol: It is best to remove the piece before showering, swimming, or engaging in physical activities. Also, apply any cosmetics, perfumes, or hairsprays before putting on your Lapis Lazuli jewelry.
