With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Stuller lists all quartz as usually safe in an ultrasonic cleaner. Just like amethyst and citrine, quartz can crack from rapid temperature changes.

Watch out for

  • Rose quartz often has internal cracks – be careful
  • Dyed quartz stones: avoid
