List of toxic crystals
(Note that this is not the full list, but I will add safe crystals at the end) these are safe to wear and hold, just not a good idea to drink the water the crystal was submerged in.
Of course, it is okay to wear these crystals, but do not use them in elixirs or put them in water.

The Worst Ever
I enjoy writing, gore, writing gore, poetry, comedy, dark humor, interesting people, talking about myself, and I should probably let you know, I may be what one could consider a bit of a sociopath."Who said a sociopath can't love? I think it's the opposite. When I kiss my lover, I kiss them as though I am trying to devour them, because then they would become a part of me."
