Crystal is delicate; avoid dropping or subjecting it to impacts.- Storage: If storing, keep the figurine in its original packaging or a padded box to protect it from dust and accidental damage.- Environment: Keep the figurine away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent any potential fading of colored elements, and away from radiators or air conditioning vents to avoid rapid temperature changes.- Safety Note: This is a decoration object, not a toy.
