once again...this question CANNOT be answered as is, it needs to be more specific.

-are you asking about oral, demal or inhalation toxicity?

-are you asking about acute toxicity, chronic toxicity, or carcinogenic toxicity?

-if asking about acute toxicity, are you asking about slightly toxic, moderately toxic, or highly toxic?

-what is the context: mineral collection, stone carving, or mining?
