Is wearing gems harmful to human health?
It is misleading to advocate that the radioactivity of minerals can improve human immunity, and radioactivity is harmful to human body as a whole.

"Wearing crystal can bring you positive energy! Different colors, different shapes, different energy! Germanate can release negative ions and help people to relieve fatigue ... "These are common advertising slogans in the GEM market at present, and even some propaganda directly jumps from" health care function for the body "to" miraculous effect for treating a certain disease ". These mysterious statements make mineral gems magical and imposing. Can the energy of these colorless and odorless minerals really be transmitted to the human body at room temperature? If the radioactive elements contained in it are really released, I'm afraid you have to be careful whether it is love or harm to you.

It is difficult for minerals to generate energy at normal temperature and pressure.

Gems are minerals, minerals are crystals, and their energy is stored in their own lattice in the form of ionic bonds or valence bonds. If it is gold and silver jewelry, it stores energy in the form of metal bonds.

If people want to use their energy, they need to break their chemical bonds and completely destroy their crystal structure in order to obtain this energy. The energy that can break the chemical bonds of molecules is bond energy, which is different from energy. Different substances have different molecular bond energies. The metal bond of gold and silver jewelry is weak, which is a combination of cations and free electrons. Electrons can move freely, so metals can conduct electricity. But the atomic bond between diamond and diamond itself is very strong, and it is very difficult to destroy it.

Imagine an ordinary ore, which needs a high external temperature to become a liquid or gas. When the human body wears these crystals, it is only at normal temperature and pressure. Chemical bonds of crystals can only maintain their lattice, but can't transfer their energy to the human body, and can't produce positive and negative energy.

Radiation from qualified gemstones can be used.

Some people may wonder whether it is possible that the radioactivity of the ore has affected the wearer, but the common minerals containing radioactive elements are feldspar, nepheline, orthoclase, potash feldspar, zircon and so on. And a small amount of special fluorite, special uranium ore, rare earth element ore, etc. , which contains radioactive elements in its own lattice.

Radioactive substances often appear in acidic magma, such as red stone used at home, which is in danger of containing radioactive substances.

Every substance has background radiation, but it only emits radioactivity after fusion and fission. Therefore, the background radiation dose of minerals is harmless to human body and can be used by people under the condition of passing the quality inspection of related gems. For example, potash feldspar can be made into decorative sunstone, and qualified products do not contain excessive radioactive elements.

The common gem crystal to supplement human energy is metaphysics.

Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica that crystal is "pungent, cool and nontoxic", which is mainly used for "relieving heat, calming the nerves, improving eyesight, removing red eye, soothing heat, reducing swelling and removing obstacles". It can also treat "lung pain, pus vomiting, cough and asthma" and "benefiting the body and pleasing the complexion", and it can also "make people fit and prolong life" after long-term use. It seems to have sedative and cooling effects.

"The main component of crystal and agate is silica. Except that glass is amorphous silica and crystal is crystalline silica, other components are the same as glass." Yu Xiaojin said that the daily life environment is full of various electromagnetic radiation sources such as computers, mobile phones and televisions. From the point of view of physical research, it has been proved that crystals can absorb electromagnetic waves. But it's hard to say how much electromagnetic radiation can be absorbed. "So Westerners like to put huge crystals in the room, thinking that they can absorb electromagnetic radiation, but in fact, many minerals and gems in nature have this effect, and it is difficult for us to evaluate what effect it has on the human body."

"The beating of the human heart, the flow of blood, the peristalsis of the stomach and other functions all need energy, but we think that it is metaphysics to supplement the energy of the human body through the so-called energy migration of crystals." Chromium trioxide in jadeite is a carcinogen.

"The green color of jadeite is chromium, which contains chromium trioxide. Trace elements that are not beneficial to the body are carcinogenic substances. Its material migration takes millions of years to happen, so people say that the green color of jade can grow up, but it is invisible in people's life and will not be transferred to people when worn. " It is difficult for jade to have evidence to prove that "jade educates people"

The so-called "jade raises people, and people raise jade", it is difficult to produce evidence. Apart from the cooling effect, it is hard to say that the jade bed has a health care effect on the human body. Rubbing the skin with jade may lead to faster blood flow. The so-called running water does not rot, and the psychological function is that jade can maintain the skin.

Germanane is just an ordinary acupuncture tool.

It is said that germanate can release negative ions and reduce fatigue. "Germanium was used as an acupuncture tool in the Han Dynasty. Germanane itself is a argillaceous limestone. The mineral composition of limestone is calcite, which is the crystallization of calcium carbonate, which is a nutrient element needed by human body. But it is hard to say whether acupuncture can put calcium titanate into human body. At normal temperature and pressure, it takes tens of thousands of years for substances to migrate to one micron, and this migration cannot be realized in a short time. "

Generally, argillaceous limestone is a chemical deposit formed in shallow sea, and it is unknown whether there are related substances in clay that can play the role of adsorption and migration, but he thinks that germane is more a hard substance to stimulate acupuncture points and stimulate blood circulation.
