The Rock Reality Check: A No-Nonsense Interview on Crystals
The Rock Reality Check: A No-Nonsense Interview on Crystals
Lena – Hardcore crystal devotee.
Jade – The skeptic (brutal but logical).
Sienna – The middle-grounder, open to feeling but questioning extreme claims.
Mia – The pragmatist, balancing intuition with logic.

Sienna: Alright, let’s get into it. Crystals—are they cosmic keys to the universe, placebo-powered lucky charms, or overpriced pebbles?
Lena: More like cosmic energy tools. Every crystal has a unique vibration that resonates with different aspects of our being. Ancient civilizations used them for healing, energy work, and spiritual elevation.
Jade: Right. And people also used mercury to cure syphilis. Doesn’t mean it was a good idea. Let’s break this down—what exactly do you think these rocks are doing?
Lena: They align with our energetic fields! Take amethyst, for example—it opens the third eye, enhances intuition, and protects against negative energy. Science has proven quartz has electrical properties.
Jade: Electrical properties in a lab setting, not in your pocket. Just because quartz vibrates under mechanical pressure doesn’t mean it’s beaming mystical energy into your chakras. If it did, Apple would sell "iQuartz" instead of iPhones.
Sienna: But what about people who feel something when they hold them? You can’t just dismiss personal experience.
Jade: Sure. The placebo effect is powerful as hell. If you believe your crystal makes you feel peaceful, your brain plays along. But that doesn’t mean it’s absorbing trauma or repelling 5G signals.
Lena: You’re missing the bigger picture. Shamans, priests, monks—they’ve all used stones for centuries. They wouldn’t do that if it was all in their heads.
Jade: Oh, they absolutely would. People also believed the Earth was balanced on the back of a giant turtle. Humans love making things mean something—it’s how our brains are wired. That doesn’t mean the thing itself has power.
Mia: But does it matter? If believing in a crystal brings someone peace, isn’t that enough?
Jade: As long as it stays in the "peaceful placebo" zone, fine. The problem is when it becomes medical fraud. The second someone says, "This crystal cures cancer, neutralizes vaccines, and blocks government surveillance"—I check out.
Sienna: Mmm. Just offering feelings at this time, go on.
Lena: But some crystals do help with health! Tourmaline protects against EMF radiation. Shungite detoxifies water.
Jade: Citation needed. Tourmaline has piezoelectric properties—it can generate an electric charge. That doesn’t mean it’s "absorbing bad energy." Shungite does have a carbon structure that filters water, but let’s not pretend it’s a quantum energy shield.
Mia: So, where do we draw the line? If someone feels protected or healed, is that enough, or do we owe them the truth?
Jade: We owe them the truth before they spend their rent money on "ascension amethyst." If they still choose to believe, that’s on them.
Lena: But belief is reality. If a person holds a stone and their anxiety melts away, does it matter why?
Jade: It does if someone is selling that belief as a miracle cure. Peace is one thing. Profiting off deception is another.
Sienna: So the final question—truth, or peace? Is it better to know reality or to live in a comfortable illusion?
Jade: Truth, every time. Even if it makes people uncomfortable.
Lena: Peace. Even if it means believing in things bigger than science.
Mia: I think it’s both. You can find peace in truth. You just have to be willing to look at both sides.

Final Verdict? If you love your crystals, as most of us do, keep them. If they bring you comfort, fine. Just don’t start thinking they’re quantum energy portals from the 8th dimension. And if someone tries to sell you "miracle frequency stones" for $399, run.
