I always tell something about extraordinary beauty, forgetting that beauty can be a threat to a person, like poisonous plants that are pleasant to admire, but you should not approach.
In this collection, I will talk about the 14 most dangerous minerals and gems for humans, as well as how to safely interact with them.
