You’re not throwing them at your enemies hard enough.

Uranium will affect your aura by misaligning your chakras

@ickplant That's completely wrong. Each rock/mineral has a hidden skill. Once acquired, you have less money.

There are a bunch of crystals that do shit, like molly and meth.

Placebos can still be effective on a person who knows it’s a placebo.

I was a skeptic but a friend who worked at a crystal shop was ALWAYS around them. Even hauling them by the box then two in a matter of months. He was jacked!

/s just in case

Hey, some of those are polestones, and are perfectly capable of storing Stormlight! Just gotta wait for the next hightstorm

Devil’s advocate time: the placebo effect is incredibly powerful, and for many people it’s all that’s needed.

Some of them do shit. Specifically, exploit the impoverished adults and children who mine them so that rich Westerners can wear them.

What about the healing powers of enjoying yourself with a hobby like collecting a bunch of minerals and just looking at them?

Surely, having a hobby can improve some people's mental health.

Obsidian isn't even a crystal...

What about diamond? Those can be traded for large sums of money which can significantly improve your health.

Actually, that's not true. Fluorite has a slight healing power for your teeth.

coprolite?

True, but if you like looking at them and it soothes your stress, that kind of helps. Stress = inflammation after all. Plus, there's the placebo effect, which is surprisingly effective sometimes.

Great guide, could you tell me what sort of benefits I might expect from Selenite?

Have you tried eating any of those before posting this?

Checkmate

Incorrect. Fluorite is made of calcium fluoride. You can mix that shit with some sulfuric acid and make poison acid gas. Don't do this though, it definitely won't cure autism or help you pray the gay away. Hydrogen fluoride is like the complete polar opposite of magical healing powers.

And then most of them will be colored resin anyway.

They're pretty good as door stomps.

I was in Sedona, AZ, and I witnessed what I can only call a church service about crystals. Interesting place.

Fetid fluorite will sometimes give off pure fluorine, which is the exact opposite of healing, but I think it's cool though as I normally only get to breathe the fumes of the organic solvents at my lab. I would love to have perfluorinated lungs, so I myself can become the forever chemical.

I have a lapis lazuli rock the size of a child's fist on my desk at home. It's a beautiful rock and I'm happy it doesn't do shit
