Moss Agate ranks lower on the Mohs scale of hardness compared to some other gemstones commonly used in jewelry, such as diamonds or sapphires. As a result, it can be more prone to scratches and wear over time, especially if exposed to everyday activities that involve contact with hard surfaces. With proper care and occasional wear, a Moss Agate ring can last for many years. To maximize its lifespan: Avoid Harsh Activities: Remove the ring when engaging in activities that could subject it to impact, pressure, or potential damage. Gentle Cleaning: Clean the ring regularly using mild soap and water to remove dirt and oils. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm the stone’s surface. Storage: Store the ring separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Consider using a soft pouch or jewelry box with individual compartments. Professional Maintenance: Periodically have the ring inspected by a professional jeweler to ensure settings are secure and for professional cleaning and maintenance.
