And then most of them will be colored resin anyway.
Obsidian isn’t even a crystal…
Neither is lapis. Like come on, rock is literally in the name people
Jesus Christ, they’re minerals Marie!
Uranium will affect your aura by misaligning your chakras
Under the right conditions it will also misalign your skin with your body.
Never underestimate the potential face melting power of angry Rocks.
I was a skeptic but a friend who worked at a crystal shop was ALWAYS around them. Even hauling them by the box then two in a matter of months. He was jacked!
/s just in case
Actually, that’s not true. Fluorite has a slight healing power for your teeth.
Ok, fuck, you got me. Now I have to admit that crystals do have healing power.
Also Quartz is used extensively in electronics, including medical devices that help people with healing or managing their ailments.
Florite the magic Cristal of dental hygien and quartz the magic Cristal of electricity
Crystals that exhibit piezo powers also get my stove lit.
They’re pretty good as door stomps.
Eggcorn?
Hey, some of those are polestones, and are perfectly capable of storing Stormlight! Just gotta wait for the next hightstorm
Speaking of, when does lemmy get cremposting?
Why’s it missing the c? Who knows!
Because the full address would be https://lemm.ee/c/remposting. So the c is already there.
Ah, but you’ll almost always see links like [email protected] - so it doesn’t work as well as it did on Reddit
Just started the second book, damn good so far!
It is brilliant but god damn he needs an editor who will stand up to him. I have stagnated on book 2 after about 5 chapters of tangential world building for some future part of the story. By the time I get there, I won’t remember those 5 chapters.
I’m around halfway through part 1 of book 2, I can’t put it down, I can’t say I agree tbh lol.
Wait for it. It’s coming. A jump into another city somewhere with no explanation and a whole bunch of new characters you haven’t been introduced to. Like a story within a story within a story. I thought my toddler must have been playing with my ebook reader and skipped me to the next book.
Kelek’s breath man, when is the last time you ever heard of a highstorm outside of Roshar?
I was in Sedona, AZ, and I witnessed what I can only call a church service about crystals. Interesting place.
Placebos can still be effective on a person who knows it’s a placebo.
What about the healing powers of enjoying yourself with a hobby like collecting a bunch of minerals and just looking at them?
Surely, having a hobby can improve some people’s mental health.
That depends. Is your hobby overrun by charletans using your ignorant faith in easily disproven claims to sell false promises of a better life? Because not only is that detrimental to your mental and financial health, but it is bad for society as a whole as it erodes trust in science and knowledge itself.
People who like shiny crystals decorating their homes aren’t a problem. People who spend money they don’t have on magic because government doctors are trying to put chips in your brain are a real and existential problem.
Incorrect. Fluorite is made of calcium fluoride. You can mix that shit with some sulfuric acid and make poison acid gas. Don’t do this though, it definitely won’t cure autism or help you pray the gay away. Hydrogen fluoride is like the complete polar opposite of magical healing powers.
It’s magical hurting powers however sadly using these powers are forbidden by the geneva council after the first wizard war
If poison acid gas doesn’t cure my gay, nothing will…
well, it does cure your gay, in addition to curing everything else that comes along with life
A permanent cure for life… I like it.
Some crystals like torbernite and asbestos have a special skill too, called “radiation poisoning” and “lung cancer”
Money loss is a very common spell as you have very well demonstrated
“Dilute it and shake it, then dilute it again. Then shake it and dilute it again.”
Then stick em in a stew
True, but if you like looking at them and it soothes your stress, that kind of helps. Stress = inflammation after all. Plus, there’s the placebo effect, which is surprisingly effective sometimes.
What about diamond? Those can be traded for large sums of money which can significantly improve your health.
Or severely degrade your life if you need to mine them for subsistence.
