A rare mineral that forms prismatic or rhombohedral crystals, often found in twinned formations. It appears in colorless, pink, or brown hues with a white streak.

Danburite possesses a higher hardness than clear quartz, registering 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale. Raw danburite often includes black mica inclusions. In Myanmar, danburite is believed to be one of the highest-vibrational crystals in existence, facilitating connection with higher consciousness and channeling spiritual knowledge from the upper realms into daily life. This stone corresponds with the crown chakra and the third eye, activating these chakras, enhancing intuition, and purifying one's aura.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can subtly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will turn jewelry black and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it. ◮ Human perspiration, with a slightly acidic pH of 4 for its antibacterial properties, can cause corrosion and accelerate alloy oxidation with prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed by sweat. However, **not everyone's perspiration will cause breakage, so if you have had similar experiences, please be particularly mindful.** To maintain the newness of your silver jewelry, we recommend washing and drying it after each wear, especially if exposed to sweat, and keeping it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Chemical-laden products can indeed accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you regularly use perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's humid climate means relatively high air humidity. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oil with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness, and keep pieces stored individually to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches. ◮ About Silver Vulcanization 925 sterling silver can oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction. It's similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, it can appear slightly dark. Vulcanization is a technique where 925 sterling silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized to create an antique, distressed, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This effect is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices require less upkeep. Frequent wear, where the jewelry rubs against clothing, helps maintain its shine. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing, allowing for no pores or flaws. To ensure durability, we employ repeated hammering techniques, giving our silver jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear and can affect both the environment and the human body, obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find your unique piece of jewelry here.
