General Care for a Bloodstone
Unlike some crystals that are soft and easily damaged, like Gypsum, Brown Zebra Jasper won't sratch easily.
It's not the hardest stone in the world, getting just an average 6.5 - 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
But!
Because it's average and not super hard we recommend you don't mix this stone in a box or bag with other crystals.
It can scratch your other crystals, and it might get scratched by hard crystals like Topaz.
Why does my Jasper crystal look dull?
If you haven't cared for your tumbled crystal in awhile, it probably looks a bit dull and dark.
The totally scientific reason for that is because it's sad you haven't cared for it in a long time.
Oh, and because could use a good cleaning.
If it's just dust then a gentle wipe down with a clean cloth or brush is all it takes to restore its shine.
Otherwise, it's bath time!
How To Clean Brown Zebra Crystal
One trick we love for shining crystals is a vinegar bath. This helps get rid of any calcium carbonite that's collected on the surface.
But remember that this should only be done to crystals that aren't sensitive to chemicals!
And good news... Brown Zebra Jasper doesn't mind taking a vinegar bath.
Jasper passes the mineral acid test and isn't very sensitive to acidic compounds
If you've got some raw Brown Zebra Jasper, you'll want to be gentle when you're cleaning. In the crystal's natural form, the gritty stone can be easily damaged and chipped.
Now if you've got polished and tumbled crystal, they scrub away!
After all, it's already survived being banged around for hours to get into it's tumbled form.
It can handle a some tough cleaning and weak acidic chemicals.
No need to buy any special products, just some warm water and soap.
Will Brown Zebra Jasper Fade?
Your Brown Zebra gemstome is almost certainly a combination of brown and white bands.

Albino Zebra Jasper!
Of course, good luck convincing anyone it's not just a regular driveway stone.
But don't worry, the brown bands won't fade unless heated to crazy high temperatures.
So realistically, it doesn't fade at all.
No need to worry about taking your stone out into the sunlight!
