Rule of thumb: any crystal ending with ā€˜iteā€™ canā€™t get wet.
Also Amber, turquoise, fire opal, kunzite, selenite, red coral. By the way, @Francisco made a video project to see if selenite really can get wet. But,. Sorry I canā€™t find it.

OK! Then NO fluorite and labradorite in water!! But can they be put on other liquids, like essential oils, for example, or make oils whit them, or not liquids at all??

Thank you very much for the tip!

So the reason crystals ending in ā€œ-iteā€ usually canā€™t get wet is because theyā€™re low on the Mohs Hardness Scale. The crystals can dissolve if left in water, or they can rub off like wet chalk.

@Francisco did an experiment with selenite and water last year (I think?) that shows it doesnā€™t happen too quickly.

I donā€™t think a little bit of liquid will hurt it but over time, since those particular crystals arenā€™t very hard, I would be very cautious.

Raw tiger eyeā€¦I definitely wonā€™t get wet because it has asbestos in it. Always wash your hands after handling toxic crystals.

Im asking because I saw a lot of roller bottles with oils and fluorite in it, Annd I would love to add it to my craft! But I wont do it if its dangerous or harmful!

Oh, weird! Yeah, I personally wouldnā€™t put fluorite in oil. The best person to ask would be a geologist, though.
