Care and cleaning of your Ural citrine

Natural citrine pieces are low-maintenance, but should not be kept permanently in direct sunlight, as intense UV radiation can cause the color to fade over time. For cleaning, we recommend briefly rinsing with lukewarm water and gently patting dry with a soft cloth. Harsh cleaning agents or ultrasonic baths should be avoided.
