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?
Yes, some minerals can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities or in certain forms. For example, exposure to high levels of lead, mercury, or arsenic can be toxic to the human body. It is important to be aware of recommended daily allowances and potential hazards associated with certain minerals.
Calcium supplements derived from bone meal or dolomite are more likely to be contaminated with toxic minerals like lead, mercury, or cadmium due to their natural composition. It's important to choose calcium supplements that are tested for heavy metal contamination and sourced from reputable manufacturers.
Many basalt minerals have a high melting point, making them resistant to high temperatures. This property makes basalt a good choice for applications where heat resistance is required, such as in the construction of buildings or roads.
Yes, there are certain minerals that can cause health problems. For one, it would really hurt to get hit in the head with a piece of quartz or something! But in all seriousness, there are minerals that can cause problems. Take asbestos for example. There are different types out there, but the most common type used in buildings would be chrysotile. It's the least likely to give you mesothelioma, but it still poses some health concerns. If you ever encounter something called "crocodolite" asbestos, it's best to steer clear, as it's probably the most hazardous of the asbestos.
No, rocks are made up of one or more minerals, while minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances that have a specific chemical composition and crystal structure. Rocks are composed of minerals, but not all minerals are rocks.
All minerals, like all things, are toxic in excess. They can create irreparable harm to the body if one is not careful in exceeding the dosage of certain minerals. Some harm could be organ damage and memory loss, among other things.
Usually they take minerals and chemicals and press them to make them compact, and non-toxic.
Rhodochrosite is not considered toxic, as it is a mineral composed of manganese carbonate. However, it is always a good idea to handle minerals with care and wash your hands after handling them.

Asbestos is composed of non biodegradable minerals including chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite. So, Asbestos is non-biodegradable and it is toxic.
No. It might give you a bit of indigestion, depending how you take it, but as long as the blood is "clean", it's really just minerals and protein juice. If your blood was toxic to you, you'd be dead just by having it pumping through your veins.
Pure water, H2O is completely safe to drink as is water that you can buy from shops which generally has minerals added to it. However, impure water such as sea water has a huge amount of salt which can be extremely toxic if drunken in large doses.
Hyperthyroidism can result in the accelerated clearance and usage of vitamins and minerals within the body. Since most vitamins and minerals can be toxic if over-supplementation occurs, it is best to only take those in which you have been confirmed deficient.
Yes, some minerals can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities or in certain forms. For example, exposure to high levels of lead, mercury, or arsenic can be toxic to the human body. It is important to be aware of recommended daily allowances and potential hazards associated with certain minerals.
depends: -there are different routes of exposure: oral, dermal or inhalation? -there's a difference between toxicity from a single dose (acute toxicity) or from repeated exposures (chronic toxicity)? -acute toxicity can be ranked depending on median lethal dose: highly toxic, moderately toxic, or slightly toxic?
The reactivity of carbonate minerals with hydrochloric acid depends on their chemical composition and crystal structure. Minerals with more reactive carbonate ions, such as calcite, will react more readily with hydrochloric acid compared to other carbonate minerals like dolomite or aragonite. Additionally, the presence of impurities or substitution of other ions in the crystal structure can affect the reactivity of carbonate minerals with hydrochloric acid.
