Do YOU know where YOUR healing crystals come from?

After three record-breaking hurricanes hammered America last year, the influential spiritual healer Heather Askinosie wrote a blog post for the Earth. “The recent barrage of megastorms we’ve witnessed has inspired some sobering reflections on the effects we are having on our planet,” she wrote on Mindbodygreen.com, a lifestyle site with millions of followers. “So what can we do to show our love and appreciation for the role that Earth plays in our lives?”

The answer, she wrote, can be found in healing crystals.

Askinosie cited three naturally occurring minerals to help readers “connect to the Earth you’re fighting to protect.” Jasper can “help you gain a broader awareness of your personal impact.” Clear quartz is a “perfect crystal for plotting out new beginnings.” And bloodstone—which is a dark green with red splatters—“helps you to see how essential the fate of the earth is, and take your intention seriously.”

“When working with the energy of the earth, it’s important to appreciate the gift we’re being given—and you can’t appreciate that gift if you’re abusing it,” reads the sourcing section on the Energy Muse site. “Those who know how powerful crystal energy is, understand why it is vital to respect where it comes from.”

Goop, actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle company, didn’t respond to requests for comment about the eight small healing crystals in its $85 “medicine bag” or its $84 water bottle containing “an obelisk-like amethyst crystal to infuse water with positive energy.”

A crystal healer and shop owner named Hibiscus Moon wrote an extensive blog post admitting that, while sometimes crystal mining isn’t very nice, “the very minerals used in our computers and cell phones are the ones we need to concern ourselves with.” A seller named Steve, responding to a buyer’s concern about mistreated miners, wrote that buying crystals “can provide a better standard of living for their people.”

Actually kinda interesting (though the story itself is a bit lacking), I guess that demand is apparently so high that they see significant value in turning to such cheaper mass-mined foreign sources despite the massive markup and secretive opaqueness (rather than "special crystals from [place]" selling) already used on their end. Welcome to Obama's America.

So what if the amethyst in the waterbottle I drink from may have been dug from the earth by a small brown child using his dusty cracked fingernails. Being that close to amethyst energy all day, I bet that kid is going to live forever.

This beautiful set of chakra-healing crystals has been energetically cleansed with sage, tuned with sound waves, activated with mantras, and blessed with Reiki.

To cleanse your crystals, pass them through sage smoke or hold them under cool running water. Charge your crystals by placing them under the light of the full moon.

how do I know these crystals aren't being discharged when these slave laborers are mining, hmm? 

tho i might need to get the kid calming spray tbh

Can confirm. Even incels could probably bag one of these chicks.

However, it goes without saying that you’re sticking your dick in crazy. Buyer beware.
