Gemstone Six Face Obelisk Point approx 17cm - Amethyst
IndiaAre the aurora points untreated natural quartz? +
No. The Aurora styles are enhanced quartz, with the coloured iridescent finish created as part of the treatment process. Retailers should make that distinction clear for customers who specifically want untreated crystals.
Will every obelisk in a trade pack look exactly the same? +
No. The gemstone points are handmade from natural stone, so small differences in colour, markings, shape, polish and proportions are normal. Even pieces cut to the same approximate size will have their own character.
How easily can the pointed tips chip? +
The tips deserve a little care. Gemstones vary considerably in toughness, and even a relatively hard stone can chip or fracture if it is dropped or knocked against another point. Shallow or lined displays are preferable to piling them together.
How should I clean gemstone points? +
For routine shop care, start with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid routinely using steam, ultrasonic cleaners or strong chemicals, particularly where the gemstone or any treatment is uncertain.
Do the larger obelisks need any special display consideration? +
Yes. Some of the larger gemstone points are substantial pieces of stone, so use a strong, level shelf and keep them safely back from the edge. It is also worth checking that each piece sits securely before putting it into an open customer-handled display.
