Jewelry & Crystal Cleaning
Thoughtful care for treasured gemstone jewelry, crystals and mineral specimens, with every piece assessed before cleaning.
Respect the Stone. Preserve Its Beauty.
From a favorite gemstone bracelet to a mineral collected on a rockhounding trip, proper care begins with knowing what the material can safely handle. Different stones, settings and treatments call for different approaches.

Assessment and suitable cleaning for rings, necklaces, bracelets and pendants. We take gemstone sensitivity, metal type, settings and adhesives into consideration.

An Important Note About Delicate Minerals
Water, ultrasonic cleaners, solvents, acids and polishing compounds can damage some minerals or gemstone settings. Cleaning is not appropriate for every specimen, and complete stain removal cannot be guaranteed. Preservation always comes first.

A Little Care Goes a Long Way
It's always best to call before stopping by. As a family-run shop, we're sometimes fulfilling orders, visiting the post office, cutting larger rocks, rockhounding, helping with metal detecting recovery or spending time with our son. Sometimes we're just 5–15 minutes away, and we'd love to be here to welcome you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can every crystal be cleaned?
No. Some minerals are porous, soluble, friable or sensitive to common cleaning methods. We evaluate each piece first.
Do you offer ultrasonic cleaning?
We do not assume ultrasonic cleaning is safe for every item. The appropriate method depends on the materials and condition.
Do I need an appointment?
Please call ahead so we can discuss your item and arrange a convenient visit.
