Is charoite suitable for everyday jewelry?

Charoite jewelry, especially when set with polished charoite or charoite cabochons, can be worn daily, but some care should be taken due to the stone’s moderate durability. It’s best to avoid impact or exposure to harsh chemicals to maintain the charoite value and appearance.

How should I care for my loose charoite gemstones?

To maintain the beauty of your loose charoite, store it separately from other stones to avoid scratches. Polished charoite and charoite cabochons should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the stone's natural beauty.
