crystal I am a former geologist and as such I tend to view stones on a scientific level, ON THE SURFACE. Fact of the matter is, I more or less worship stone and mineral, as well as the processes that give rise to the incredible spectrum of crystalline substrate that all of us grow from (God I hope my former Professors read this). I don't know how much I can follow crystal power/healing and such, but I have an extensive collection of minerals and rocks from all over the world that give me an irrational amount of pleasure and insight. I am never happier than when I am surrounded by stones and plants. The energy I sense from stones is something I have kept to myself for all of my years because it does not jive with my vocation as a scientist, but it is something I will take happily to the grave.:thumbsup:
