Mineral & Crystal Safety Disclaimer

Minerals and crystals offered by Nature’s Expression are intended for decorative, collectible, and educational purposes only. While the vast majority of stones we carry are safe for handling, some minerals may contain trace elements or natural compounds that can be harmful if misused.

General Safety

  • Do not ingest stones or place them in drinking water.

  • Do not grind, cut, sand, or tumble any stone without appropriate industrial safety equipment.

  • Wash hands after handling raw or porous minerals.

  • Keep all stones out of reach of small children and pets.

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.
