Purification method of turquoise:

1: take out the 1 to be purified.

2: each bracelet or pendant uses 10g royal salt.

3. If you use a special purification bowl, you don't need to calculate the amount of water. If you use ordinary glass bowls and porcelain bowls at home, you need to add 500 grams of water to each bracelet. Water doesn't have to be mineral water or pure water, just ordinary tap water. This is because the purification ability of imperial salt is much higher than that of crystal cave, so there is no need to have strict requirements on degaussing consumables.

4. If you need to pray, such as seeking wealth and happiness in marriage, after completing the previous step, take out "Shoushouxuan", also called Shoushouzhi, and write your birthday and lunar wishes on the stamped side of Shoushouxuan. Put the paper in the container. Paper can be folded. If you don't need to pray, follow step five.

5: Put the bracelet into the prepared bowl. If there is a wishing paper in the container, put the bracelet on the paper and pour in water. If there is a filter, it is best to put the royal salt in the filter and then put the filter in the water. The filter tool is used to prevent impurities and dust particles from scratching the tiger crystal.

6: Wait for 24 hours to complete degaussing. The waiting time can be more than 24 hours, but not less than 24 hours.

7: Pour out the salt water for purification, take out the paper to dry and then burn it.

Note: once the turquoise is degaussed, it can last 1 to 3 months. It is harmless to degauss frequently. Imperial salt is not sea salt, coarse salt or big salt, but is refined and processed from seawater. Therefore, it has no corrosive effect on natural turquoise.
