20 Most Dangerous Minerals in The World

Minerals are good for you. Or at least… that’s what I thought. When I was a kid everybody was like “make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals.” But, did you know, some minerals aren’t just bad for you they’re full on lethal. These are the most dangerous minerals in the world!

You know I just love the sudden drop in your voice. I could give you a recipe to bake bread, and I'd be still enthralled to listen intently

Bismuth is used to make the shot pellets in some shotgun shells. Not for making the gun itself. They use bismuth cause its way less toxic than lead to the environment.

Asbestos is not completely banned in the USA. However it is banned for certain types and/or locations of construction. It is no longer allowed as insulation, pipe liner, drywall, filler, or in anyway it can become dust when demolishing construction. It is used in some aspects of construction, but very sparingly.
So this is a lie, or at the very least a misconception of the truth. This mineral and similar are highly regulated.

Quartz although highly dangerous is also found in digital watches .

Who knew there were so many different kinds of asbestos! and all this going on about how dangerous all these mineral rocks are even if you touch them or even get near them doesn't seem to have done any harm to ALL THOSE HANDLING THESE VERY SAME ROCKS WITHOUT GLOVES!! What the heck!? I did not know that the periodic table was so lethal! Thanks for scaring the heck out of me about simple old rocks!

we always think things were tested even "two" or "one" centuries ago.😝😫

[ragabufragsome]

you cannot blame people for not knowing if it could kill them to begin with but once its known to do harm it should be stopped just like the uk did with asbestos.

It would have been helpful to have additional example pictures displayed of these minerals during each of their respective segments; rather than the same stock images and video samples repeatedly used throughout the whole video. Seems kind of senseless to create an "informational" video about deadly rocks (most being commonly found and/or mistakenly mishandled by novice rock & crystal enthusiasts) but not provide distinct visual imagery of each one to help identify them.

Soooo...just wondering...all those people "modeling" these toxic elements without gloves..are they..uuuhhhmm...still around? Asking for a lawyer friend...
