"This is why yo're to dabble in crystals. I meang to become one of those witchy people, and i'm just going to dabble," she says. "If you want something to heal your heart, to promote self love and self care, you want to get rose quartz,. It's one of my favorite stones." She also has labadrash, a beautiful pink stone that makes her happy.
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.
