At first, Tina wasn't sure her answer would be what Professor Sutton was looking for, so she couldn't help but feel pleased with herself when it was accepted. Oh, so rose quartz fades if left in the sun too long... that was goid to know. She would file that piece of information in her brain; it could come in handy someday!
Tina listened intently as the professor spoke again, jotting down some of the gemstones her classmates had mentioned in her notes. So they were moving on to gem cleansing? Did that explain the tables? Were they going to practice a particular type of gem cleansing at the tables? Or possibly compare two different types of cleansing to decide which worked better? She had so many questions, but now what she needed was an answer!
She thought for a minute. The first thing that came to mind was the ultrasonic cleaning machine in the jewlery store her mother used to take her engagement ring to be cleaned,
but she doubted a muggle machine would work on a magical gem. Then she thought of sun or moonlight, but both of those had already been said. Come on, think, Tina! She tried to recall what she'd read on the subject, and... she had it! Her hand went up, and she said, "I believe there's one method of gem cleansing that uses Himilayan salt."
