Care Instructions

Wipe clean using a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth and dry immediately. Avoid vinegar, citrus-based products, acidic cleaners, harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, and prolonged soaking, as calcite is sensitive to acids and may become etched or lose its polished finish.

Handle carefully and avoid dropping the figurine onto hard surfaces, as natural stone may chip, crack, or fracture upon impact.
