Where did the idea that crystals have some kind of mystic power come from?
I mean, yeah, they're shiny, they've got some pretty neat geometrical features, and they're rare, but does that really have any bearing on how well your day will go or how fast the cut you placed the stone next to will heal? The whole thing seems patently ridiculous to me and I'm surprised that people believe it without questioning it.
Good morning Vardarac.
Not sure how they achieved their mystical status. Maybe it's because of their regular symmetrical shape or rarity or color as you indicated. But interestingly science has found that there are natural vibrations in crystals ( see http://physics-animations.com/Physics/English/phon_txt.htm and http://www2.ess.ucla.edu/~schauble/Phonons.html ). In fact, most modern watches use a crystal to keep accurate time (see http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5375105/description.html ) since the vibration is more regular than mechanical movements. Does any of this have a bearing on the "mystical" qualities of crystals? I'm not sure but it is something to consider (and, yes, they are pretty and colorful and....)
May all be at peace.
