Care and handling
Brucite is very soft and fragile and dissolves in acids, so handle gently and never use acidic cleaners or soak it. Wipe with a dry or barely damp soft cloth. Fibrous forms can shed fine fibres, so avoid breathing any dust, do not grind or scrape it, and wash your hands after handling. Do not use it in water, elixirs or the mouth.
Individual experiences with Yellow Brucite vary, and its effects are personal rather than guaranteed. Use it mindfully for courage, and rely on qualified professionals for digestive and other health concerns.
