Ask it in the comments below and I can answer them in future videos! 🙏💖🙏
does your book speak on which crystals are toxic?
I am hoping to order it soon :) Are there any other places you might recommend. I want to start making jewelry with gemstones but am I little hesitant purchasing without knowing what to steer away from. Thank you in advance!
Thanks beautiful...made some crystal rings last night. Love your style...you encouraged me.
Thank you for the insight!
Just ran across your channel from a rather odd event happening to me, definitely feeling more comfortable because of your channel:-)
Thank you for the video, the first crystal I bought was a sodalite and I really like holding it. But it shook me quite a little to learn that it might be potentially toxic, so I use rice to cleanse it, but have had to wash it off ( I dried it off immediately with tissue though) because it made the surface somewhat sticky, which is essentially what I don't want to do. I did wash my hands off after handling the stone every time I touched it though.
Thanks Shannon. Loved everything you shared ❤.
Hi I'm confused I bought lots of crystals for myself and my children. Then read lots of them are toxic. Is this true? Thanks
Thank you for this interesting video.
Hi, I have another question. Are beaded bracelets without metal backing ok to wear. Like for example I just got a malachite, tigers eye, smoky quartz, obsidian bracelet.
Thank you!
Many thanks and blessings ♥️
You are so welcome! 🙏🙏
Very useful. Thank you. My bumblebee pendant and earrings set in sterling silver are dulled because I foolishly cleaned them in my silver cleaner. I’m in CA how do I get them polished and sealed again?
Hi Shannon, thanks, I watched the video and google searched the toxic ones. Posted in another summary comment. Strawberry quartz is safe to wear? And should we wear bracelets in fluorite, malachite, amazonite, pyrite, labradorite, Tiger's eye, moonstone, chrysocolla?
Excellent video thank you ✨💞
You are welcome - thank you so much for watching! 🙏💖🙏
I love buying crystals and able to hold them but sadly it wasn’t possible for malachite. They are so beautiful. i love malachite but due to their toxic nature. I’m hesitant to purchase them..
are tumbled crystals safer?
I see a lot of people putting stones in their bathtub with them. I’ve started placing them along the bathtub ledge but not in the water. And only quartz’s because they are supposed to have the proper mohs hardness. Do you have any opinion on that practice?
I think placing the stones on your bathtub ledge is a wonderful bathtime ritual practice. As for those placing it in the water, I would proceed with caution and place them in ziploc bags before they go in the water. 🙏💖🙏
Hi Shannon, loved your video.
I have a question you may be able to help with, I am interested in popping a few crystals and gem stones into my Cats water, is it safe and what crystals would you recommend.
Also I practice reiki and on previous pets I have had great results but my new cats seem uninterested do you have any advice xx thank you xx
NO. Do not put crystals in your cat's water. I don't recommend crystals elixirs unless the stone never actually comes in contact with the water. That's wonderful you are practicing Reiki on your cats - some love it, some aren't all that interested. That's normal 🙏💖🙏
I totally agree with you about don't drink elixir water but then there is shungite which us used for water purification. What are your thoughts on shungite.
Shungite appears to be safe in water, but many other gemstones aren't 👍
🙏🏻
Shannon,
Regarding putting stones in water,
I have been putting Elite Noble Shungite in my water after I filter it in order to rid it of the many impurities that are present in it.
Any guidance you might have about using shungite to cleanse water would be greatly appreciated💕
Shungite appears to be safe in water, but many other gemstones aren't 👍
@@ReikiGemWellness Thank you Shannon, you put my mind at ease.
You are so efficient, wasn’t expecting answer so soon.💕
Excellent video!! i would also highly recommend this podcast if you're looking for more info :)
Hi Shannon ✨ this is a very helpful video! Some of us are not alert to issues such as gems toxicity. I have a raw azurite stone and I’ve noticed that it sheds some blue sometimes. Do you think it’s harmful? I’ve just stored it on a jewelry base so that I don’t handle it directly. Is this a good measure?
Thank you ver much ✨🤍 your videos are imbued with clarity and great knowledge, they’re much appreciated!!! ☺️
It's not toxic just from handling, but I always recommend washing hands after handling any gem that is brittle or leaves a residue - just to be on the safe side. 🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you 🙏☺️ have a good day :)
Thank you for the info Ms. Shannon. Now I’m concerned because I I-o-v-e Pyrite. In doing research I found that many articles considered Pyrite toxic but on the other hand many sites & videos suggested the great benefits of Pyrite; I’m confused. People have admired my Pyrite pendants & rings and I’ve made Pyrite jewelry for others. I’ve been wearing Pyrite jewelry for years but now I’m concerned. Also why would almost every gemstone store, as well as on-line stores sell pyrite if it’s considered toxic?😟 😟 😦
Is Arfvedsonite toxic? I have bracelets and pendant I'm afraid to use them now 😅 I usually use them pretty much 24/7 I only take them off to take a bath
I have a green strawberry quartz flame. I forgot what they said it does , and I asked again for details and all she said was Zen. Any help?
Green strawberry quartz? If it's green, then it would be either green quartz or aventurine. 👍
Green and strawberry sounds like you have a chunk of tourmaline, watermelon tourmaline??
Basically its safe to wear them as bracelet? In eg Tiger Eyes
Hi Shannon! For raw malachite, do you think it is okay to store in a cool and less ventilated space? I just recently bought a raw malachite and I got stunned of its beauty before realizing its toxicity. 😅 I usually place my crystals on my headboard but the aircon directly hits that area. Can i expose my malachite to that space or is it safer if I'll just put it in an acrylic shelf? Thank you!
If Malachite is polished then you really don't have to worry about it. I would still do precautionary hand washing. The real danger comes from rough stones, if you're cutting or carving malachite, or if someone puts it in water for an elixir. 🙏🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you so much for being responsive and accomodating! 💖 I'm saving up for your book so I can ship it here in the Philippines 😊
I just started wearing my crystals more and working with them and now I'm worried.
Can you tell me if arfensonite in polished form is ok to handle
It is, but I would still wash hands afterwards as a standard practice. 🙏💖🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you for the reply 🙂
i have a large variety of crystals that include polished, tumbled, and raw. i have mostly tumbled/polished stones tho. but most of the ones i have are considered toxic and im very paranoid now :( i’ve spent so much money on my crystals and learning now that most are toxic is upsetting. i even have a cinnabar tumble that im now seeing is very very toxic. i also have a lot of pyrite pieces. should i be worried?
i don’t do much with them, like i don’t put them in water or anything and they stay on my shelves majority of the time but i have held all of them a lot
I feel the same way you feel. Don’t know what to do with my gemstones now. Some I keep on my bed under my pillow too. I have polished ones on the bed though. And jewelry are any of these safe ?
Hope you are having a good week ! I have found finding politics funny helps. My conference is in God.
Sometimes, but this year it really wasn't funny at all. But I am feeling much, much better now - Thank you! 🙏🙏
Is it safe to wear some of these gemstones? For example, I have a malachite, garnet, and moldavite necklace. Also I know some women put crystals in their bra haha and I was wondering how safe that is, specifically if you know for rose quartz, green aventurine, citrine, tigers eye, and satin spar as those are some of my favorites. Oh also sorry for so many questions, it’s just that online doesn’t usually talk about toxicity for handling, but I have a crystal shelf right by my bed, is that safe?
They are safe to wear because most stones are in metal frames limiting skin contact. I personally would be careful which gemstones I put in a bra, because the combination of the gemstone and sweat would enable absorption. Likely not toxic levels, but I would still be careful. Most gemstones are not toxic for breathing unless someone is in the business of carving and cutting gems. Just having them on display is not dangerous 🙏🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you!
Hey, I'm super paranoid so can anyone tell me if it's possible to get silicosis from owning and holding raw quartz? I dont cut them or anything but I own some raw pieces of quartz.
i think you're safe there!
These stones are not toxic their minerals. They heal they mind body and soul
I also own raw quartz. A lot of pieces and I have held them
Is it okay to have amethyst and rose quartz because I red it was super toxic but is it okay if I meditate and just sleep with them or not?
And can I just leave them in my room or tho the particles spread in the air
Amethyst and Rose Quartz are not super toxic. They're actually some of the safer gemstones 🙏🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness ooooh oké thank you so much.
@@ReikiGemWellness do you know if owning and handling raw quartz can give me silicosis? I'm paranoid lol
@@donnameese8250 I’d like to know this too lol I’m being paranoid now
I read that clear quartz improves sleep quality and reduces nightmares so I bought it for me and my family. I read that you can put it under your pillow? Is it safe or should we not use it while sleeping?
Clear Quartz is a fairly stimulating gemstone. I would recommend Howlite, Amazonite, Amethyst or Lepidolite instead. And yes, totally safe to put under your pillow 🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you for the answer! Have a great day/evening
Try amethyst, moonstone, blue calcite, howlite, black tourmaline and selenite/satin spar 💖 clear quartz can be abit overwhelming for some.
Can you put raw under your pillow?
Can the toxins in galena or malachite be inhaled even when they are just being displayed? I hope you get to answer this. Thank you for the informative video! 😊
No, there is not enough toxin to be harmful while on display. If you were cutting or carving the stones you would need to wear protective gear. 🙏
@@ReikiGemWellness thank you so much! ❤️
Do you know if any gemstones are OK to be handled if they are raw or tumbled ? Just being in the vicinity.
Shannon suggests we Google common list of 50 gemstones with some level of toxicity.
Common ones are Aglina (lead), Malachite (copper), bumblebee jasper (arsenic), lapis. Hear the rest.
1. Wash hands after using crystals.
2. Do not drink water elixirs. Use the bottles that have pockets at the bottom, if you're into that kind of thing. Clear separation of water and crystal needed.
3. Do your homework if you cut and carve gemstones.
THANK YOU, SHANNON.

There is this book that recommends drinking rainbow fluorite elixer. I did this and found out its dangerous..
Remember to detox!!
Hi im just getting into crystals im a Christian btw but im afraid that it will end badly and I don’t want to affect others around me because i read that they may cause headaches etc. Is there any chance that it will affect me negatively?because i also don’t want to manifest anything but i might do it accidentally??idk im a little bit scared
The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall has alot of info on crystals like their healing properties it doesn't cover which ones are toxic or how to cleanse them cuz some cyrsals can not go into water at all. You must research per cyrstal but as far as a wide spread of info on them & their healing both physical, mental, spiritual, and auratic its a good place to start.
As far as fear of summoning evil this can happen with anything you bring home or even if a ghost follows you home (highly unlikely but we've had such occur) so if you notice discord in your family too much or else you see ghost think what new came into the house when you started to see these things (no matter what it is) then discard those articles that has helped so many times in our family we collect antiques but one time we had store brought toy that got possessed as well. If discarding doesn't work then you'll have to go bigger but we've always discarded and it's always worked so far.
Research just because you have crystals in your house doesn't auto equal evils incoming, cuz even normal mirrors can be portals or the ground your house stands on just pick the crystals that are right for you most crystals I'm finding aid not cause things like headaches for instance.
