trouble is, salt and water eat at sodalite - I hope you wiped it well, to remove any trace. I wouldn't repeat what you did, despite the shine. Sodalite and water don't mix, as sodalite is salt-based, as its name indicates.
Shikamaru said:I hit the jackpot today and same problem. I want to clean them because I am sure someone sneezed and handled the stones or they have been handled, and I hate using and handling my stones and then having to wash my hands after every time I touch one.
Here is the jackpot I hit today cause my local store got all these in and I never had most of these before:
Red Aventurine
Carnilian
Bloodstones
Hematite
Amethyst
Orange Calcite
Topaz (Imperial/Golden)
Jade
Aventurine
Citrine
Moonstone
Amazonite
Ruby
Gold Tiger's Eye
Chinese Turquoise
How would you suggest cleaning/washing these stones as to not damage them.
