What are the "crystals" made of? Does this have activated charcoal?

I didn't notice charcoal and I have no idea what the crystals are made of. It has a pleasant smell but I found the canister DampRid that last for about 3 months to be a better buy. I took it to our camp and it really helps to remove the dampness there. It also can be emptied several times before you have to replace the bag in the top. I was skeptical at first but am sold on it now.

I don't know what the crystals r made of but r white when I hang it at first and by day 30 they turn yellow. And they work great! The bag was full of water and the crystal were clumped together and yellow. Don't hesitate to buy, these work!!!!

Not sure what's in it and it's in my RV right now so I can't check it. You can probably find that info online.

It is lead crystal. Lead is used to be able to cut the designs in cystal. If it was smooth glass it would likely be lead free.

It is my understanding that all good crystal has some lead content ( it is not dangerous). However, unglazed pottery that is handpainted should not be used for food or beverages because of high levels of lead in the paints.

Yes, the box says the pitcher is lead crystal. Maybe look for "crystalline" as I think that is lead-free.

It is in crystal form. You have to dissolve in water before using it. It is good quality and cheap price.

The bowl is made of the exact same crystal as the salt crystal chunks. The picture provided isn't a good one; it makes the bowl look like orange plastic, which it's not.The bowl is quite heavy with marbly looking pink streaks and looks a little waxy and may be chipped in places.Once plugged in you will never see any imperfections on the bowl, as it glows with the same intensity as the crystal chunks.

Sorry Ozzie. I've been out of the country. It is my understanding that this is leaded crystal. A very nice piece and good value, it joins others in our collection.

No. It is a salt crystal--all natural ingredients. Lasts 24 hours with no residue. I love it.

The title mentions "carbon." The description calls them "charcoal." Isn't charcoal carbon? This is a steal at the quoted price.

When I bought this decanter it did state that it is made of 'lead crystal'. There was no accompanying literature in the package; however I sincerely doubt that any 'lead' would leach our of the crystal and taint the whisky or taint it's flavor.I think it it a fine piece.

Rich, it's just activated charcoal inside a gelatin capsule. The label lists the "Other ingredients" as just the gelatin for the capsule. One item of note though is the caution on the label "Not to be taken at the same time as medications or other dietary supplements." This is because (as it says on the label) "Activated charcoal is one of the finest natural adsorbent agents. Each particle contains many small chambers and cavities that 'capture' or bind-up unwanted materials and gas, which are safely carried out of the digestive system." You don't want the charcoal to bind-up any of your medication and carry it out of the digestive system. Hope you find this product helpful - it has definitely helped me and my family.

I've purchased this a couple of times. The charcoal is charcoal - and black in color. No multicolor. I just checked the box I have, and it doesn't say 'charcoal' anywhere that I can see, but that's what they are. I hope this helps!

No. The crystal is made of potassium alum. It is safe for everyday use. Potassium alum molecules have a negative ionic charge, making it unable to pass through the cell wall. They aren't adsorbed into your cells. Alum stones will not cause high levels of aluminum in your system. Aluminum and alum are 2 completely different substances, with distinct chemical signatures. They possess different chemical properties which create different chemical attributes. Dip the stone in water before use or use it after coming out to the shower. Often, one use is good for 2 or 3 days.
