These crystals will fade in the sunlight:

  • Amethyst
  • Rose Quartz, Aquamarine
  • Smoky Quartz
  • Kunzite
  • Hiddenite
  • Spodumene
  • Fluorite

These crystals will dissolve in water:

  • Halite
  • Sulfates: Borates, Calcite, Gypsum
  • Lapis Lazuli
  • Turquoise
  • Ivory
  • Pyrite: degrades when stored at high humidity. (Place silica drying gel in the container to absorb moisture)

When In doubt, most crystals are water soluble if:

  • End in “ite”
  • Moh’s Hardness less than 6
  • Scratches easily with a steel knife

These crystals will dissolve in acid solutions (such as acetone & vinegar):

  • Calcite
  • Gypsum
  • Limestone
  • Marble
  • Amber (acetone: contained in most nail polish remover)

These crystals will produce POISONOUS gasses when HEATED:

  • Cinnabar
  • Realgar
  • Stibnite

Wash your hands after handling them and do not eat while working with them.

These crystals ARE TOXIC to INGEST:

Minerals and metals containing:

  • Aluminum
  • Arsenic
  • Barium
  • Cadmium
  • Copper
  • Lead
  • Mercury
  • Zinc

These Crystals will get damaged by Salt:

Any raw, rough stone.  Any stone with hardness under 7.  If you are not sure, use another method.

  • Amber
  • Angelite
  • Azurite
  • ALL Calcites
  • Dioptase
  • Imperial Topaz
  • Fire Opal
  • Kyanite
  • Kunzite
  • Malachite
  • Moonstone
  • Opal
  • Red Coral
  • Selenite
  • Turquoise

These are usually undocumented people who work here. Y'all asking “can’t they leave” “they choose to work there,” well these people often times have no other choice and would rather bring home $6 to their families. Yes, I understand being undocumented is a crime and whatever other bullshit y'all will throw at me (quite frankly look at the push and pull factors the u.s has created for that… but that’s a story for another day) when will y'all start caring about humans more than policies and laws. These are people just trying to survive.

UMedics training teaches people how to care for shooting victims until an ambulance arrives. Caverl said the training now also includes lessons on how to treat those suffering from an asthma attack because asthma is another danger plaguing the African-American community.

This is a great thing. Black community is united as never before, people are ready to help and save lives.

How do you like this? Now imagine how many innocent people are in jail because of these cops

Cops will be cops.

News reporting so far has carefully glossed over that this is a clear criminal conspiracy on the part of the police. If this isn’t unofficial policy from the top, it’s evidently a widespread and regular practice that they’re comfortable with.

Yes but also remember that the colonial image of Mexico erases the indigenous people that inhabited these places, prior to Spanish colonization when borders “nations” and the privatization of land didn’t exist.
