A depressing read on the growth of healing crystals 09:34 - Sep 17 with 1221 viewsStokieBlue

It's a long article. It's about the cheap and exploitative mining in poor countries with awful and dangerous conditions often with child labour so that wellness sites like Goop can sell "healing crystals" at ridiculous prices to people.

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/sep/17/healing-crystals-wellness-m

Some tidbits:

"Believers say crystals conduct ambient energy — like miniature phone towers picking up signals and channelling them on to the user — thus rebalancing malign energies, healing the body and mind."

"After all, he said, if uranium could kill you, why shouldn’t lithium quartz be able to help cure your depression? And when you broke it down to an elemental level, he said, people are mostly minerals and water anyway. “You’re hydrated mineral powder,”"

"Trinchillo estimates that high-end dealers now account for about $500m in annual sales. Include the lower end, he said, and you are talking about a highly profitable, multi-billion dollar industry."

It's so depressing. People exploited and billions of dollars generated (for the few) on something that literally does nothing at all but is fueled by the click of the like button on social media.

Oh boy, you're anticipating a quiet day off of the board I see. I'll pop the kettle on for you.

Wow, that's impressive logic there.

Make sure you fill it with pure crystal water. I swear by mine. All you have to do is put water in the bottle, leave it overnight in the fridge and all day long a healing charge is your reward.

My health and wealth have increased substantially since I've been using it.

Teamed vagina retains more taste than boiled, or so I heard
