We came up with a new product for our hand made crystals; a tea infuser. Loose tea goes in the stainless steel strainer and the crystal hangs on the outside of the cup. For cleaning, use a lobster claw clasp to remove the crystal. The crystal is wrapped in sterling silver so it should be removed for cleaning. A necklace is included so the stone can also be worn as jewelry when your not having tea.  Pretty clever.  First prototype is pictured with a Jasper Stone.
