What toxicitysafety issues should I be concerned about when handling polished gemstones?
Should I be concerned about possible trace elements that are potentially hazardous in polished gemstones used for jewelry since I handle them a lot and have frequent skinpossibly residual (which could end up internally) contact with them whether making jewelry or wearing it.
For example, I read that Fluorite can have traces of Yttrium or other heavy metals that can be toxic. Yet I also read Fluorite is only slightly if ever water soluble. So it this a cause for concern?
I should also mention that sometimes my gemstones are cleaned with distilled water if they get dirty and dusty, or sometimes are in the way when hand washing when it comes to bracelets.
If this is a potential long term hazard, what stones should I try to minimize contact with?
I've known a number of people who professionally cut and polished gemstone and other rocks their entire life and showed no signs of anything abnormal that might have been related to that. The only exception are some old miners who used mercury to amalgamate gold and now have enough mercury in their spines that it shows up in X-rays. I would think some of the fumes from acids could be very harmful if you use those methods for anything.
But all in all, my antecdotal evidence suggests it shouldn't be a major concern.
