Our Exclusive Eco-Friendly Cleaning and Polishing Process
At Beyond Bohemian, we’re not just about ethical sourcing—we’re also redefining how crystals are cleaned and polished. Our proprietary, eco-friendly methods ensure your crystals maintain their natural vibrancy while respecting the environment. Unlike traditional industry practices that rely on harsh chemicals and toxic oils, our innovative process uses sustainable, non-toxic materials, making it safer for you and the planet.
Our Proprietary Process
1. A Safer Cleaning Solution
We’ve developed a unique vinegar-based cleaning method as a sustainable alternative to harmful acids like hydrochloric acid. While our approach requires more patience and care, it achieves the same exceptional results without compromising the integrity of the crystal or the environment.
2. Natural, Sustainable Polishing
We use a combination of jojoba oil and grapeseed oil to bring out the natural beauty of our crystals:
Jojoba Oil: A plant-based, biodegradable oil prized for its lightweight texture and resemblance to natural skin oils. It’s safe for handling and spiritual use, making it perfect for polished crystals that you interact with intimately.
Grapeseed Oil: A byproduct of the wine industry, this sustainable oil is odorless and semi-clear, providing a smooth, flawless finish to your crystals.
By avoiding petroleum-based mineral oils used by many in the industry, we ensure that your crystals are free from harmful residues and polished with care and sustainability in mind.
3. Quality Control Through Polishing
Our in-house cleaning and polishing allow us to personally inspect every crystal. During this process, crystals may lose up to 10% of their weight as dirt, debris, and loose chips are removed. This thorough process reveals the stone’s natural beauty, ensures stability, and guarantees you receive only the highest-quality materials.
Why Our Process Stands Out
Chemical-Free: No harmful chemicals like mineral oil or hydrochloric acid are used, ensuring your crystals are safe to handle and use in spiritual practices.
Environmentally Friendly: Our materials, such as jojoba oil and grapeseed oil, are sustainable and biodegradable, reducing our environmental footprint.
Preserves Natural Beauty: Unlike tumbling, which can remove up to 50% of a stone’s weight and alter its original shape, our method retains the stone’s raw features while enhancing clarity and color.
Handcrafted Excellence: Every crystal is personally inspected, cleaned, and polished, ensuring meticulous quality control.

Join Us in Redefining Crystal Care
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond ethical sourcing. With our eco-friendly cleaning and polishing methods, we’re raising the standard for the crystal industry—one vibrant, natural stone at a time. Occasionally, you may notice a light residue on your crystal. This is harmless and can be wiped away with a soft cloth, ensuring your stone is ready for you to enjoy.
