CRYSTALS: Vanadinite


QUESTION: hi, i got some vanadinite and i read in the crystal bible that it's poisonous, didn't know what it meant by the indirect method, does that mean i can't touch it? i put it in a ziploc but just want to make sure hahaha

ANSWER: Hi. Vanadinite is like Malachite, the dust can be harmful if inhaled or ingested in large amounts. Small stones will not affect you, but just to be on the safe side, we recommend the indirect method for gem elixirs. The indirect method is done by placing the stone in a glass jar or bowl separate from the water you are infusing. Using dry you should be fine, especially polished pieces which are not as flaky!

Sincerely,
