Potentially Hazardous Minerals
Certain minerals in the broader collector market—including but not limited to cinnabar, orpiment, realgar, galena, stibnite, torbernite, uranium-bearing minerals, and other heavy-metal or arsenic sulfide specimens—are known to contain toxic elements.
Nature’s Expression does not sell handling-unsafe minerals for consumer use. Should any such minerals ever be offered as part of a curated collector display, they will be clearly labeled as “Display Only – Not for Handling.”
Metaphysical Use
Any metaphysical or healing information provided on our website or marketing materials is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. Crystals and minerals should not be used as a substitute for professional medical treatment, diagnosis, or therapy.
