yeah the first time i met a new friend he came over with a crystal.
he was teaching me to feel energy and i had my eyes closed laying down meditating with my hands in the prayer mudra.
my buddy brought a crystal near my head and the instant he did that (with my eyes closed and unaware of it) my body was INSTANTLY compelled to take possibly the biggest fullest deepest most natural breathe of my life. and the inside of my nose (like the inside of my nostrils) 'twitched' at the same time.
nowadays crystals don't really do anything for me on a level i'm conscious of besides being able to feel their energy/vibrations if i focus on becoming sensitive to energy.

Crystals play a huge role in my life, I spend my days synthesizing, studying and characterizing new ones. Otherwise, I dont believe in the mysticism that surrounds them.

I'm guessing it has more to do with the symbolism attributed to them. Oh, and the placebo effect. The placebo effect is sometimes as effective as the prescribed medicine for the same disease. And supposedly striking a large enough quartz crystal could release enough volts of energy to electrocute a person.

Crystals are a great tool for reaching outside the physical realm. Certain crystals, like amethyst, citrine, or quartz can help many areas of your body, mind and spirit. There is much literature about the different crystals used for healing and their specific powers.
But in my experience, one can only read so much about them. One must buy the crystals and have good intentions when practicing to achieve any known affect.

Some crystals are interesting, I happened to study characteristics of two.
One is called Silicon Carbide, it is probably casting light in your eyes right now, it's called LED diode, basically if you apply charge to it, it starts to emit light. It's also used in LCD lightnings.
The second one is far more interesting, it transfers mechanical energy into electrical. If you but two wires on sides and start hitting it with hammer, it will conduct small amounts of volts, also, if you apply charge to it, it will start vibrating. Pretty cool, eh?

There are many naturally occurring crystals with such effect actually, one of these is quartz indeed. Such crystals are called piezoelectric crystals. You guys probably have triggered such effect yourselves, remember electric lighters? It has such material in them, when you push down the button, it will hit the crystal with force strong enough to generate about 10 kilovolts for a while to light up gas.

Can scientific instruments tune in to the material realm? I don't think so, they're made of material fabricated from human conscious.
Crystals are naturally made materials that formed their vibrational patterns NATURALLY. Science isn't natural. Science is myth. But science is also a good way to have a solid foundation of observation, unfortunately the will of science these days isn't about simple observation and self-interpretation any more. Science is now more about creating a theory and saying it's a correct understanding, when in reality, science isn't a correct understanding, science IS observation.
Observe the crystals.

i prayed to god last night to heal me. today i feel much better than i did last night.
would you belive that the prayer caused me to feel better? NO same way i can't belive that a rock can cause you to feel better or overcome a problem. provide me with some evidence that it was the crystal and not something else you were doing or recently did or your body dealing with the problem itself that caused the change.

first off-i'm not gonna "provide you evidence" or try to convince you. you'll convince yourself. believe what resonates with you as true. but i don't care if you believe what i believe dude you are not a judge i'm trying to pitch an argument to. although i will share my experience/perspective/opinion with an open mind who has faith in the reality of my experience.

Everything is vibration. Everything is connected. Everything is one. Think of it this way... You pray over the rock, accept the rock's vibration. Now your mind is using the vibration. The vibrational pattern will fall into place where needed. You are very correct that it starts with yourself, but your logic is similar to saying that there is no such thing as air to breathe. Air is from without, not within, but it is taken in and used nevertheless.
These types of behaviors do access you to better karma, believe it or not. You are the rock. If the rock is just a rock to you, then it serves you no benefit.

also when you are dead silent see if you can ignore grasping onto your thoughts for a few moments. when you do that and you become observant listen for a very subtle vibration or frequency. meditate on that and incorporate it into your being.

I wear an amethyst daily. I believe in part it has to due with your beliefs about them and how strong you believe they work. But crystals do have an "energy" that I haven't felt from anything else as of yet. Especially amethyst.

Scientific instruments are not needed to do science. This seems to be a common pesperception, though I'm not sure why.
Anything experienced or otherwise detected by a person can be scientifically investigated. Science works off observation, nothing more. If you know about it and aren't mistaken, then its scientifically detectable. If it isn't observable, then it doesn't affect your life anyways, and isn't any different than something that simply doesn't exist in its effects.
If crystals change your consciousness, body, or do anythng else you are aware of, they can be scientifically investigated: you could do it in your home, no need for fancy equipment.

I've loved crystals since I was a small child and geology in general.
I've had strange experiences with crystals void of preconceived notions of their abilities. Almost as if there is something in the material that absorbs subtle vibrations. For instance when this guy gave me a crystal I really dug I kept it in my breast pocket for the rest of the day until I got home, all day long my attention would be drawn to it because it felt like the negative weird feeling I feel in his house (Which was a shanty shadowy drug house...) kept sinking into that spot on the left side of my chest where the crystal was. A couple weeks later I threw it in a creek because it was weirding me out.
I've inherited several cool crystals over the years. The one I carry around all the time in my pocket, my girlfrien broke her favorite one in half and gave me the other half. I swear, I could feel her love in it the moment I opened the box and held it in my hand. I don't go no where without it.
I've always used crystals in my spiritual rituals though, they don't hold any specific purpose to me, but, it's strange, like they just seem special to me. Like they have some sort of functioning which just screams, "ya, pick me up and hold me while your meditating or praying, baby. " Or "Bury me in a place you hold sacred" I don't bother with all the information out there, I just listen to my self, what I feel and do my thing.
Whether it be spiritual purposes or for aesthetics or appreciation of the earth and the forces it takes to make these amazing stones, I think we can all agree that there is just something enigmatic and bad ass about a crystal.

It's great to know so many are in tune with the healing powers of crystals... Nevertheless, it's all about your relative intentions. Quartz has rocked me a few times into a psychedelic spiritual experience.

The information found on the metaphysical properties of kyanite is interesting. Some say kyanite enhances creativity, broadens perspectives, and helps achieve mutual understanding. It is a stone of attunement (2). It brings calmness and tranquility and can assist with meditation. In terms of physical ailments, it clears up sinus congestion and enhances the treatment of muscular disorders (3). Kyanite is one of only a few stones that never need clensing or clearing. It assists in communication and mental awareness. It also helps in dream recall

If you put a couple Rose Quartz crystals in your pocket you will feel them heating up at various times. The heat is an indicator that they are filtering anxious energy through them.

Here are some of the gemstones and crystals I've been working with for a while. (click on picture to zoom) The quartz and amethysts shown have been the most powerful to me so far.
These can be used for so many things like... clearing blocked chakras, vibrational therapy, scrying, spell casting, psychoanalytical enhancement, stress relief, re-focusing or concentration, and of course all of these are centered around meditation... meditation is key when dealing with these gifts. Shamans have been using these materials since ancient times during ceremonies and during ayahuasca preparations.
Even if the unexperienced don't believe in the healing properties, hopefully they will at least understand their great value to so many humans throughout history.
Cheers, medici

I started with black tourmaline recommended by a good friend who turned me onto crystals. Well actually, my first experience with feeling was with orgonite someone had at a fest. As soon as I held it and looked away I felt it. I just started getting some stones but I have black tourmaline, shiva lingham, charoite ( ), and fluorite. Then one day, in a department store actually some very very out of place selenite was there and found me. Needless to say I got all of it, and it is sooo amazing. I meditate with it held to my heart and WOW....or I'll put one piece at my crown and another I'll focus on moving through my chakras. It is sooo cleansing.
Also, beautiful crystals Medici
