Question:

I have a dirty piece of jaggedy quartz?

It's coated with years worth of dust and nicotine. Getting into all the nooks and crannies with a toothbrush isn't possible. How about if I use a pressure washer at the carwash. Would my lovely mineral fall apart? (It's about 4quot;L x 3quot;W x 4quot;H)
