i'm not superinto pearls just because that they're actually cut from an animal, a beagon el. The definition of a gem stone does not come ufi my work very often. There's a difference between a rock and a mineral. And i would never have learned it if i hadn't desied to look it up. It makes me want o sound an air horn like the ones that party d js use.
Professional gemologist Kelly Sitek talks about adventures in mining, the chemical composition of different gems, breaks down the test taking process for gemology and gives advice on haunted stones. We also spill some tea on cultured pearls and address the psychology and neurological merits of crystals/the placebo effect. Whether you are a staunch skeptic or all about woo-woo, you may end up shoving a crystal down your pants just for good luck. A.k.a. neural top-down control of physiology.
