When you think of healing gemstones, rocks, and minerals you may not think of the potential of toxicity or the harmful deadly makeup of some substances. There are some gorgeous rocks and minerals on this planet that you need to stay away from and not wear on your body. We will be discussing the top ten rocks/minerals that can be very harmful for you and your family.
1) Cinnabar - cinnabar is the single most toxic mineral to handle on Earth. The name of the crystal means dragons blood. Formed near volcanos and sulfur deposits, the bright red crystals are a sign of danger. Cinnabar can release mercury if disturbed or heated, causing tremors, loss of sensation or death. Cinnabar was used by the Chinese for ornamental food dishes and intricate carvings were created from chunks of it. It was also believed by ancient medical practitioners that cinnabar held healing powers.
If you ever have the opportunity to come in contact with these ten substances use not only great caution, but I would avoid them all together. You would be happy to know that none of the jewelry that Sun Spirit Gems make has these substances in them. So feel comforted with the jewelry you buy from Sun Spirit Gems.
