Cleaning Marcasite Jewellery

Marcasite Jewellery should only be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution, and then wiped gently with a soft cloth (preferably cotton). To keep the naturally dark areas, be sure to clean it gently. This type of cleaning solution will be fine on whatever stones the jewellery has set within it.

Marcasite definition - the mineral Marcasite is a grey*, lustrous mineral, a sulphide of iron resembling pyrite or common iron pyrites in composition, but differing in form. (* The colour of marcasite ranges from dark grey to almost black regularly with sparks of yellow or gold throughout the stone. As with all natural stones, the colour can vary somewhat.)
