Proper Care of Vesuvianite
Though vesuvianite isn't the hardest of stones, it lacks cleavage, which makes it a bit more durable. The best method for cleaning vesuvianite is to use warm water and mild soap. A soft bristle brush or cloth can be used to remove body oils and other grim from the surface. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners or steamers as well as harsh chemicals. Exposure to rapid temperature changes or extended direct heat can create unwanted color changes in vesuvianite. Apply makeup and perfumes before putting on vesuvianite jewelry.To learn more about vesuvianite and other gemstones, order your copy of Walter Schumann's revised and expanded edition of Gemstones of the World.
Designing with Vesuvianite
The soft green, brown and yellow hues of vesuvianite make it an ideal stone for autumn jewelry, emulating the changing of seasons and colors. Vesuvianite is an understated stone that does not scream for attention, making it a perfect accent stone to other similarly colored stones such as peridot. Vesuvianite works well for unisex jewelry since the hue is not viewed as overly feminine or masculine. Combine with darker shades of stones in brown or black hues to play up this versatility.View design inspirations featuring vesuvianite in the Gallery of Designs.
