Why You Should Be Careful How You Use These Common Crystals

You might be surprised to know crystals are like plants and essential oils - not all of them are safe for humans!

Amazonite - The green coloring of Amazonite comes from traces of lead

Blue apatite - contains chlorine

Howlite - contains boron - toxic to humans (when contaminating)

Bloodstone - contains chlorite

Goldstone - synthetic, unnatural, made by man

Snowflake obsidian - contains cristobalite - toxic to humans when inhaled

Selenite - can cause digestive, nervous system, kidney, and circulatory damage because it’s pure calcium sulfate dihydrate - it’s really not meant to be handled or breathed in by humans - NEVER use selenite as chalk or grind it

These contain aluminum - just know that. You can still use them but don’t be drinking with these ( I really dont recommend ever consuming a crystal):

Aquamarine - contains aluminum

Jade - contains aluminum

Labradorite - contains aluminum

Moonstone - contains aluminum
