These forms are made from a crystal called Bumble Bee Jasper. We offer a heart and a tumble. This is sold by many companies NOT advising people of the toxicity issues of it.
I love the colour of orpiment banding with the jasper layers. That yellow-orange makes it the most noticeable crystal in your collection. Pity it’s one you have to take care of. Its toxicity means it is ONLY for adults and to be kept where it can be kept safe. Here is why:
- photo sensitive
- water sensitive
- arsenic i.e. a toxin
Orpiment is an arsenic sulphide mineral which forms in low temperature hydrothermal veins and volcanic hot springs. Orpiment is a striking gem-like crystal which is photosensitive. Collections of Orpiment should be kept from direct sunlight and stored in dry light proof containers.
The crystal helps speed up recovery from disease and injury. I love how it promotes the development of ideas, innocence, intimacy, and investigations. It helps to aid in understanding and removing mental blocks.
Tumble is SOLD.
Bumble Bee jasper therefore should be handled with care due to the arsenic content. Always wash hands after handling, avoid inhaling dust and never ingest or lick.
