What to check

Look for surface coating, dye in fractures, repairs, and unsupported locality claims.

Practical handling

Care and safety

Mild soap and water; avoid heat, steam, and prolonged strong light.

Responsible buying

Ethics and sourcing

Use the trade name transparently and do not imply a universally settled mineral classification or rare locality without records.
