    I mean crystals definitely have gravity pulling you towards them.

    I understand your reasoning and even the appeal, however I personally just wonder if all of these effects wouldn’t be possible by any other means. Why does it need to be crystals, intentionally overpriced at that. Marketed by capitalistic interests to exploit you. Theoretically, couldn’t you just go out into nature, find a rock you like, and it could have the same effect?

      You absolutley could use any item for the same purpose as long as there is some importance attached to it by the user. There’s a degree of exploitation present when the profit motive squeezes people looking for options. That being said, psychologically the more something costs the more the purchaser tends to value the thing so that could be a benefit. If someone couldn’t have faith in a $5 crystal but could have faith in the same crystal priced at $50 then it could be useful.
