Caring for Your Yellow Calcite Specimen

Since calcite, with a Mohs hardness of 3, is among the softer minerals, it requires special care. Store the specimen separately from harder stones to avoid scratches. For cleaning, a dry or slightly dampened soft cloth is recommended – acidic cleaning agents and prolonged water baths should definitely be avoided, as acids can dissolve calcite. For energetic cleansing, tradition suggests briefly placing the specimen in sunlight or combining it with selenite – however, be careful to avoid direct, intense sunlight for extended periods, as this can affect the color.
