Toxic Stones ( not suitable for waters and elixirs)

[Guest guest]

Soria from the crystalfolks2001 list Has put together a list of some

Stones that should NOT be put in water to drink and has given us

permission to share this on our list files and web site and to edit

and add to it as new information is confirmed .

 

This is a list of crystals which are NOT suited for elixirs etc.

Before you put any stone in contact with food or make a water to drink

or gem elixir you should make sure that it is safe to do so. This is

only a few of the stones that should not be injested .

 

Many of these are copper-containing minerals (copper is toxic to our

bodies), but there are also others for instance, rocks that contain Lead

or

Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminum, Barium or Mercury

 

(There are a lot of other stones and substances that should not be put

in water to drink these are just some of them (not kidding!)).

 

 

Amazonite - use with caution, the color is a result of traces of copper,

which is toxic)

 

Atacamite - poisonous (copper)

 

Auricalcite - Poisonous (zinc and copper)

 

Azurite - poisonous (copper)

 

Boji-stones - unfit - (contains some sulphur) There is some secrecy re

it's contents - which means you really should not drink it. (Would you

take

a pill you did not know the contents of?)

 

Bronchantite - unfit and poisonous (copper)

 

Chalcantite (AKA " blue shit " ) - poisonous (copper)

 

Chalcopyrite (peacock stone) - poisonous (copper and sulphur)

 

Cinnabar - poisonous (mercury/quicksilver)

 

Conicalcite - poisonous (copper)

 

Copper - poisonous

 

Crysocolla (AKA Venus-stone) - poisonous (copper)

 

Cuprite - poisonous (copper)

 

Dioptase - poisonous (copper)

 

Gem Silica - poisonous (copper)

 

Galena/ Galenite - poisonous (almost 90 percent lead)

 

Garnierite (AKA Genthite/ Falcondoite) - Contains nickel

 

Halite - will dissolve in water

 

Hematite - will rust

 

Lapis Lazuli - poisonous (the pyrite inclusions, that is.)

 

Magnetite - unfit (Iron, will rust)

 

Markasite - poisonous (sulphur) (marcasite has the same chemical make-up

as pyrite)

 

Mohawkite - poisonous (copper, ARSENIC etc.)(Keep away from children!)

 

Psiomelan - poisonous (barium)

 

Pyrite (AKA fool's gold; Inca-gold) - poisonous (sulphur)

 

Realgar - poisonous (sulphur and ARSENIC) (Keep away from children!)

 

Stibnite (has Lead)

 

Smithsonite (AKA Galmei/Zinc spar)- poisonous (zinc (may also contain

copper))

 

Ulexite - The rock will loose its lustre when in contact with water

 

Vanadanite - Poisonous (lead)

 

Wulfenite - Poisonous (lead and molybdenum)

 

 

 

The general rule is:

Avoid making elixirs and massage oils of any stone/ mineral/ crystals

containing any kind of metal (lead, copper etc.).

If you don't know the chemical make-up of the kind of rock you have -

avoid

any blue or green stone, because most of the blue and green stones get

their

color from its copper contents. (Especially the bright colored ones.)

Also avoid any shiny, metal-like stone, because most metals are toxic to

humans.

 

And one last, general warning:

Stones containing arsenic (like Realgar) and mercury (like Cinnabar)

should

not even be worn nor handled without protctive gloves etc because of its

extremely high toxicity.

 

 

So - YES - you may use this list in whichever way you want to (including

making additions) - no copyright needed. This benifits us all -

 

 

Love and Light
