It's not that serious. Please don't pull over to jot anything down if you're driving. But I want you to ask yourself, why am I attracted to crystals? Could it be colors? Why do I like jagged over smooth, right? The tumbled is the smooth ones versus the very raw and jagged form."

I'm just gonna hold onto it. And I took it and it was little, super tiny. And I was watching TV and within fifteen minutes I was completely calm. And I kept justifying that it might be the TV show.

And I think for most of us, our first interaction with crystals or gems, because crystals are gems, is really through some piece of jewelry that we may have received from a grandmother or playing in our grandmother or mom's, as you said, jewelry chest or even costume jewelry. Everything carries a vibration. Even the metal that the jewelry sits in also carries a certain vibration."

Like, they use sometimes the quartz for the bezel part of it or there are certain components within the watch, so you don't even realize sometimes that you're interacting with crystals every day or rocks or something coming from the earth's core or the earth's surface.

A lot of them are found near hot fluids like water, lava, molten rock. Just like the human body, crystals need water, oxygen, sodium, iron, potassium, magnesium, like everything that the body is made up of.

So thermal fuel begins to pressurize it and this fluid mixture rises and it begins to cool as it is pushed to the surface of the earth. And as the heat and the gas is pushing through layers of mantle, mantle cracks is what it's coming through, and that begins the growth of the rock cavities. And what creates it are the air pockets in the rocks and the soil. And it literally forms these beautiful crystals."

You brought up earlier about the tumbler that you had and it just kind of made it mush. There's a thing called weathering where, you know, weathering helps us find these crystals closer to mines, at the end of landslides, at the pools of waterfalls.

I'm trying to remember if I have it backwards. So that's how we get the amet crystal, is that it's something about either you're heating the citrine part of it to get it to the purple, it's I'm vice not sure what it is, but it's because you stop the heating process halfway between, and that's how you get, instead of just a full amethyst, you get an ametrine.

What I do have an experience of I live near the Sedona area and if anybody knows anything about Sedona, there's a crystal store every 50 feet, is that it's very difficult for me to spend an extended period of time in crystal stores because of all the energy.

I always like to say, put aside once every two weeks or whatever it is to have kind of a clearing day or a cleansing day and do that with your crystals because if you don't, what ends up happening is there's so much absorption, there's so much going on that they actually I don't want to say lose their luster but then you're holding your rose quartz and you're like, I'm not getting anything.

Now, I've heard two different ways, and correct, you can certainly interject here, but I've heard that it really doesn't matter which hand you hold it in. Some people say, Well, I'm right handed, so I should hold it in my left. Some people go, Well, I'm left handed. I should hold it in my right.

I mean there's a lot. Can you think of anything else that you would add in here for the heart chakra?"

So from crown all the way down to my root chakra, what my favorite is to do is crown, I would use clear. The third eye, I would use amethyst. My throat, I would use sodalite or lapis. My heart, I love aventurine. My solar plexus, I would use citrine. My sacral, I would use carnelian. And my base, I would use a dark like an obsidian."
