Powerful stones?

Question

have you ever heard that stones have special powers? well they do! each stone has it's own unique power. like quartz crystal is a healing stone and can be used with other stones. seraphinite is a very powerful healer. rose quartz is a love stone and can be recharged by cold water. those are only a few. there are TONS of different stones and each one has a power. there may be quite a few healers, but they all heal in a different way and so on.

Answer 1

The gemstones HAVE healing properties.Not only have I done the research but I have built a business around it.

Just as drugs have natural remedies,the stones have come from the earth as well.(amber is ground up and taken orally)

Because after all it is tree sap.

Answer 2

Yes. I have heard that.

Answer 3

Sorry, but quartz has no special healing powers.  No impartial, double-blind study has ever shown otherwise.  If you find one that has, let me know and I'll start believing in power crystals as well.

I think the entire phenomenon of power crystals is a result of these two effects:

1)  Confirmation bias

2)  Placebo effect

Answer 4

Why did you post this in earth sciences?

It goes in mythology along with the rest of the new-age c**p.

Edit:  Give me empirical evidence.  How about a paper published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal?

Answer 5

Yes! I think it's interesting. And it isn't "new-age c**p". The use of natural minerals has been around for thousands of years.
