I just opened my geode and the crystals inside are pretty dirty, does anyone know clean it?Thanks you!?

Answer 1

If it is just dirt wash it with mild soap water and rinse under tap, it should be sparkling clean.

In case it has coatings you have to be very care full. pl. avoid using acids as it may dissolve calcite crystals inside the geode (many times calcite crystals are found). You can try  mild alkaline solutions to clean it.

Answer 2

I would do what the first answer said, but if you need to reach inside or scrub the crystals a little more, use an old toothbrush.

Answer 3

If they are quartz crystals you can use CLR or anything you buy in the grocery store that removes rust and lime from bathtubs and sinks
