Q: Can crystals fade over a period of time?
A: Yes, some crystals can fade or change color over time, particularly when exposed to prolonged sunlight or extreme heat. This is because certain crystals, such as Amethyst, Citrine, and Rose Quartz, have sensitivities to UV radiation, which can cause them to lose their vibrant hues. At East West Store, we recommend storing your crystals in a shaded, cool place when not in use to maintain their natural beauty. Additionally, it's beneficial to cleanse and recharge your crystals regularly, using methods that do not involve direct sunlight if they are prone to fading. If you have questions about the care and maintenance of specific crystals, our knowledgeable staff at East West Store are always here to help.
