So I cleaned out under my bed today while looking for a missing game cartridge, and come across a collection of polished stones, each with a name tag. It was in the storage crate that is under the head of the bed. I took it out, and noticed that it came with a pamphlet that lists the origin and "powers" of each stone. Powers. Heh. I read them, and apparently I have a wide range of 'crystal effects' affecting me at night.
Healing, mental powers, dreams, love, clairvoyance, anger, peace, calm, spiritual powers, relaxation, unity, intelligence, longevity, courage, and a bunch of other warm-and-fuzzy buzz words. I began laughing hysterically, and pushed the case back under my bed (but not before taking one last look at a beautiful green stripe in some fluorite).
For whatever reason, some people believe that just because crystals can refract light, they can refract other "spiritual" types of energy as well. Whatever. I hate pseudosciences like this. But it was an expensive gift, probably. So flatter me.
Tell me, should I be mixing my purple amethyst with my green fluorite (along with 23 other stones)? And what should I do with my perfectly cleaved quartz? Does the plastic casing affect their strength? And, half-seriously, which crystals do you think propagate the best effects on dreaming?
As a side note, I think that this stuff (crystalology, or however you call it) is bogus. Of course, coming from one who loves the geometry and geography involved with minerals, I think it would be interesting to learn what the 'experts' have to say on the non-scientific side of the subject.
