Lapis lazuli is strictly forbidden to be washed and cannot be wet!

A few days ago, a friend came to Allure and asked, "My lapis lazuli bracelet is a little dirty, can you soak it in water and wash it?" As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, "Don't wash it with water, don't do it!" ”

Once lapis lazuli jewelry has been stained, it should never be soaked and rinsed with water. Because lapis lazuli is a granular aggregate of minerals, if soaked and rinsed with water, the dirt on the surface of the gemstone will penetrate inward, thus changing the original brilliance of lapis lazuli. After lapis lazuli jewelry is stained, it can be gently wiped with a damp cloth to wipe off the dirt.

Why can't lapis lazuli get wet?

Lapis lazuli is a variety of mineral aggregates, simply put, that is, a kind of stone, so as long as it is a stone, it will have water absorption and permeability. It's like if you take an ordinary stone and throw it into the water, and after a while, you will find that it is heavy, and that's the truth!

The permeability of lapis lazuli is an important reason why it cannot touch water. When lapis lazuli touches the water, it not only sucks the water in, but the dirt on the surface will also penetrate into the inside, and you think that the dirt has accumulated inside, and the consequences are unimaginable!

How do you clean lapis lazuli after it is stained?

Lapis lazuli to avoid chemical corrosion, if there is dirt on the surface, spray the special jade maintenance liquid on a soft cloth, and use a soft cloth or soft brush to gently wipe the lapis lazuli surface repeatedly and gently until evenly applied. After that, remember to wipe the surface with a soft cloth to wipe the remaining maintenance solution off.

What are the contraindications for lapis lazuli maintenance?

First: stay away from acids and alkalis. Lapis lazuli itself is also not resistant to acids and alkalis, so care should be taken to avoid chemical corrosion. The copper inside can be easily oxidized, so be sure to avoid lapis lazuli coming into contact with corrosive chemicals.

Whether it is lapis lazuli or other jade, it is very necessary to stay away from acid and alkali, jade contains silica, silica and acid and alkali can undergo chemical reactions to cause corrosion.

Second: Prevent scratches. The hardness of lapis lazuli is not high, about 5.5, so it is easy to scratch the surface and affect the color when wearing it or rubbing it against other items.

Third: Do not expose to the sun. Keeping it in the mild sunlight often, remembering not to expose it to the sun to prevent it from losing its color, and not to let him receive too much yin from the night, will help to maintain spirituality.

Lapis lazuli can help with hypnosis and deep meditation, which can enhance the insight of observation and spirituality. It can arouse people's noble and fresh, gentle and elegant temperament. Wearing lapis lazuli while driving can stabilize the mood, eliminate irritability caused by traffic chaos, and children can wear it to ensure safety and health and promote development.

Fourth, avoid oil stains. Oil stains not only adhere to the surface of lapis lazuli, affecting its color, and will dilute its color for a long time, but also the substances in the oil stain will also have an erosive effect on lapis lazuli.

Fifth: Lapis lazuli needs to be demagnetized. You can put lapis lazuli on the natural crystal cluster or crystal cave, often use the imperial salt demagnetization, with the chrysanthemum flower demagnetization, you can achieve a very good purification effect. Burying lapis lazuli with omamori salt, or putting lapis lazuli in the center of the sea chrysanthemum, this effect is very good, and it can be used for up to 3 months at a time. It is also called 100-day demagnetization.

Remember that lapis lazuli jewelry cannot be soaked in water for cleaning, which will destroy its internal structural texture, make it loose, and the water that penetrates into it will also change the color of lapis lazuli, affecting the aesthetics and value.
