I have recently purchased a lot of JNAT, but I have a problem. Since the JNAT is excavated from the mine. Are they radioactive or toxic, just like many other minerals found in nature?

Maybe if the mine is right next to Fukushima, and mined after 2011. If it's not I'm sure you are ok.

A friend once told me that if I walked down the salt isle in the grocery with a Geiger counter I would be shocked. I've also heard that a mass of china dishes will emit measurable radiation. I wouldn't worry about it unless I was living in the mine.
Your car cabin air filter is in all likelyhood, more radio active, wherever you live, since fukushima.

Some fraction of potassium is naturally radioactive, and you can detect it in potassium chloride (salt substitute). But not walking down the aisle with a geiger counter. Possibly with a more sensitive instrument.
As far as china, most materials in the earth’s crust contain some radioactivity - if you’re in Colorado you’re around a lot of uranium. The older orange Fiestaware was actually coated with uranium oxide, that’s what made the color, but that’s the glaze, not the clay.

This is why my favorite unit of radiation is the banana (0.1 uSv).
