I am not a mineralogist or a health care provider. I am a person that recommends acting with caution when dealing with products made from these types of crystals or stones.

I always like to act on the safe side and consider crystals to be poisonous to eat drink or otherwise consume unless I know the crystal and the makeup. How the product was created. It is always best to be safe than sorry.

If in doubt look it up. Check out your crystal bible or just jump on Google. As I always tell my lovely friends, clients, and workshop students if it doesn’t feel right walk away. Do not take on that information and check it out yourself
