Using a small AA battery flashlight, place the gemstones against the light to see their flash of brilliant colors.

Gently clean your gemstones with a soft toothbrush. The gemstones can also be polished using a rock tumbler. Inclusions are small fragments of foreign matter found in gemstones. These are normal - flawless gemstones are rare. Expect to have some gemstones that have inclusions that are acceptable.

Do not use ultra sonic jewelry cleaners as they can damage some gemstones.
