Realgar Skull #390

Realgar is a striking red-orange arsenic sulfide mineral historically known as the “Stone of Vitality and Insight.” It has been used in alchemy, traditional medicine, and ceremonial practices—but with caution, as it contains arsenic and is toxic if ingested or improperly handled.

⚠️ Important Safety Note: Realgar should not be worn as jewelry, inhaled (as dust), or handled frequently without washing your hands afterward. Always keep it away from moisture, heat, and children or pets.
