Removing patina on faucet without damaging crystal

We have a very nice brass/crystal faucet that has developed a green growth under the clear finish on the faucet. I assume it is lacquer. Can you recommend a process for removing the clear finish without attacking/harming the crystal attached to the faucet?

Thanks, and Seasons Greetings to all
