How to care
Brass
While using the screw cap may come loose or unscrewed. From time to time hand-tighten the screw cap. Please do not force the screw closed as the threads may become stripped. Over time the metal color may darken or change.
Mineral
These natural stones are not dyed or treated. Cut and finished by hand they are combined with solid brass hardware. Even within the same type of stone there is natural variation in color and pattern. To clean wipe with a wet cloth and dry immediately. Avoid strong impacts as the stone may chip or crack. If sharp edges develop discontinue use to avoid injury. Sodalite and lapis Lazuli color may fade with exposure to water and salt. Reduce exposure to direct sunlight.
