If you want to use that on your crystals it's your choice. But it's not good advice.

Good to know. Like I said, I don't work with them. I just collect them and display them to enjoy looking at them. The most that I do is dust them with swiffer if they are large. I have a particular fondness for quartz and quartz based gem clusters.
