Caring for a turquoise statue involves gentle handling and proper maintenance to preserve its beauty. Here are some tips:
Handle with Care: Turquoise is a relatively soft and porous stone, so handle the statue with care to avoid scratching or chipping.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Turquoise is sensitive to chemicals, including acids found in perfumes, cosmetics, and household cleaners. Avoid exposing the statue to these substances, as they can damage the surface of the stone.
Clean with a Soft Cloth: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust or debris from the surface of the statue. For stubborn dirt, you can dampen the cloth with water, but avoid using any cleaning products or chemicals.
Avoid Moisture: Turquoise is porous and can be damaged by moisture. Avoid exposing the statue to water or prolonged humidity, as it can cause discoloration or deterioration of the stone.
Store Properly: When not on display, store the turquoise statue in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Wrap it in a soft cloth or place it in a padded box to protect it from scratches and damage.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Turquoise can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, so avoid exposing the statue to rapid changes in temperature or placing it near sources of heat or cold.
By following these care tips, you can ensure that your turquoise statue remains a cherished and beautiful piece for years to come.
