      There is no such thing as "vibrational energy". Crystals won't help you understand the world better, studying physics and chemistry will. Maybe you will even learn what this energy nonsense you keep talking about actually is. You should look into quantum physics and general relativity, way more fascinating and magical than this

    These rational experts assume you have to “believe” or be into some kind of spirituality to do crystals. Some don’t need that.
    Skeptics aren’t supposed to speculate and assume. But it’s acceptable when they do it...because what...a string of letters after their name? Or they worship at the altars of modern science?
    Oh wait...those are educated guesses. Nevermind....

      People in New Age religions do that a lot with western science. Same with Wicca and pagan people.
      Hinduism and Eastern philosophy (mistaken for religion by the West...Taoism for example) have their own sciences they go by.
      Religion uses science to attempt to prove a lot of things.
      Christianity wouldn’t dare mess with crystals, let alone refer to science for much of anything else (unless it justifies beliefs).
      So which religious people are you talking about?
      Apparently you don’t know much about religion.
      So are you excusing skeptics when they act like believers?

    Naysayers unfortunately have never felt crystal energy, and are just trying to “reason” with what they have never experienced. Their senses are not yet awakened, and they are not to be blamed. It may or may not open up for them while they are alive. I hope it does, but if it doesn’t, it is what it is. Unproven science has always been called “magic.”
