As a geologist, yes it's fine as long as it is just the crystal structure (i.e. it is not attached to a host rock).

Also regarding pouring boiling water or sterilizing it in the oven, it won't explode. You will just ruin the colour (heat treatment)

The iron/manganese/titanium will not leech out because it is part of the crystal structure on a molecular level.

TL;DR just rinse it off in some warm water and it will be fine.
