Witch Tip:

Save the water you use to boil eggs!! It’s good for plants! Not only does the calcium in the shells infuse into the water making the plants stronger, but eggshells are often associated with protection. I like to charge water i use for my plants with moss agate under the waxing moon because it is associated with growth. This works especially well if the plant is associated with protection, for example, I water my fern with it.

Mineral and Crystal Safety and Care Masterpost

As someone who collects and loves minerals of all kinds, I have done my best to collect as much information on the care and safety of all kinds of stones, crystals, and minerals in general as I can for my own grimoire. However, although I have attempted to do a great deal of research, these lists are not exhaustive, and please take care with any minerals and crystals you have.

Minerals That Should Not Be Exposed to Water

These minerals are water soluble, some more than others, or may be damaged by water. Some, such as halite (which is salt crystal), should even be stored in a dry location, as excess humidity may damage it. Do not charge or cleanse these with water.

Any Soft, “Fluffy”, Fibrous, or Flaky Mineral Alum/Alunite Anglesite Angelite (Anhydrite) Borax Calcite Celestite/Celestine Chalcanthite Concretions/Kansas Pop Rocks/Boji Stone® Desert Rose (Gypsum or Baryte Crystals) Dioptase Galenite/Galena Geyserite Gypsum Halite Hanksite Hematite Jet Kernite Lapis Lazuli Magnetite/Lodestone Malachite Newberyite Opal, Fire Purpurite Pyrite Sal Ammoniac Satin Spar Selenite Sulfur Sylvinite Sylvite Ulexite

Minerals That Should Not be Exposed to Sunlight/Bright Light

These minerals are not lightfast (may fade or darken with exposure to bright light). Store in a dim place and do not cleanse or charge using sunlight.

Acanthite Amergreen Amethyst Ametrine Aquamarine Aventurine Calcite, Honey Celestite Citrine Fluorite Jet Kunzite Lapis Malachite Opal Rose Quartz Smoky Quartz Spirit Quartz Super Seven Topaz Tourmaline Turquoise

Minerals That Should Not Be Exposed to Salt

Salt may corrode many minerals, or may become trapped in crevices and react with moisture to expand and crack stones, and should be used with care, whether it is salt water or dry salt. This list was hardest to find good information on, so is definitely not exhaustive.

Hematite Lapis Lazuli Opal Pyrite Selenite

Soft Minerals

Soft minerals scratch easily. They should be stored and carried alone, such as in their own bag.

It is a good idea to consult the Moh’s Hardness Scale for any given mineral (those 5 and below are particularly prone to scratching and scuffing). Even dust may contain particles harder than 5, in which case wiping the mineral that is dusty could scratch it.

Bismuth Calcite Celestite Chrysocolla Copper Fluorite Gold Graphite Hematite Iron Jet Gypsum Lapis Lazuli Malachite Nickel Obsidian Silver Talc Turquoise

Minerals That Are Potentially Hazardous to Health (Not for Use in Consumables/Elixirs; Use Care When Handling)

Determining toxicity of minerals is difficult, as some are toxic when inhaled, others when consumed, some only when consumed over a period of time or in large bioavailable quantities (such as copper), and some are toxic upon skin contact. Some minerals are potentially allergenic but do not affect everyone (many of the minerals here listed as allergenic are also toxic).

Minerals that are toxic may or may not be soluble in water, but for safety’s sake, potentially toxic minerals should not be used in elixirs, massage oils, etc. made by a direct method. It is always safer to use crystal elixirs, oils, and the like made by the indirect method (separated from the consumable by an impermeable barrier, such as glass).

Flakey, brittle, soft, and porous stones should not be used to make consumables.

Handle stones containing mercury, lead, and arsenic with gloves. Wash your hands after handling all minerals, and do not handle minerals while eating, drinking, etc.

This list is not exhaustive.

When in doubt, play it safe!
