While crystal elixirs and bath soaks may be all the rage because of their healing properties, not all stones and crystals are safe to place in water. Why? Because water can leach chemicals out of soft and porous stones that are toxic to the body.
It's a strict rule to NEVER ingest ground or powdered stones or crystals, as this could be fatal. Raw and unpolished stones and crystals, especially those that are porous, can start to flake or dissolve, releasing harmful dust. Always remember to wash your hands after handling these types of stones and crystals to prevent the absorption of toxins.
Tumbled (polished smooth) clear quartz crystal and amethyst are safe to put in beverages (one the size of an average coin per cup) to empower the water. However, this applies to adults only. Never put crystals in a child's beverage. Children can choke, even if supervised. Tumbled stones and quartz are also safe for crystal grids, Reiki, and rituals. Save the porous rocks and crystals for placing around your home or office, which are out of reach of children or pets.
Tumbled agates, amethyst, calcites (most), and quartz (clear and rose) are safe for kids to handle while supervised. You can toss a small handful into the tub (adults only) unless carefully supervised.
Additionally, be sure stones and crystals placed in over-the-counter essential oil rollers (used for perfume and chakra energy healing) are safe in water. You wouldn't want crystal powders or flakes to enter anyone's mouth (a baby, a licking pet, a lover).
