How to Care for Caribbean Calcite

Calcite is a relatively soft stone and requires some special care. It has a hardness level of 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it prone to scratches, cracking, or breaking.

 

Calcite is sensitive to temperature changes and should be kept in a mild and stable environment. It’s best to keep Caribbean Calcite in a safe indoor space, like a bedside table or bookshelf.

 

Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause cracks or discoloration, and moisture can also cause damage.

You may want to wrap your calcite in a soft cloth to prevent scratches if you’re storing it with other crystals.

Other Clean & Care Tips

  • To clean, wet a cloth and wring it out. Wipe your phantom calcite lightly to clean it and dry immediately with a soft, dry towel.

  • Avoid leaving it submerged in water for extended periods of time.

  • Avoid salt water, as it can cause fissures in the crystal and erode it quicker than fresh water.

  • Store your Zebra Calcite in a dry area away from direct sunlight. Overexposure to sunlight or UV light can cause the color to fade.
