1
00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:04.599
My name is Will and I'm Garen, and unlike moulderin Scully, we both

2
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.639
want to believe. So we've embarked
in a journey of discovery. We've talked

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.800
to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual
and metaphysical world. We've thrown ourselves into

4
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.960
weird and wonderful experiences. I even
joined a coven of witches and wait,

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.320
you joined a coven yep, all
on the interest of finding something, anything,

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.000
that will prove that there's something beyond
this physical, three dimensional world we

7
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:33.320
all live in. This is the
Skeptic Metaphysicians. This episode of The Skeptic

8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:40.000
Metaphysicians was recorded live at the Edgar
Casey Are Welcome to New Awakenings with Edgar

9
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.520
Casey's AIRI, where together, through
some beautiful conversations, we go on beautiful

10
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.280
journeys of discovery that might shape the
way you think about things and could even

11
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.679
change your life. Our guest today
is certified hypnotherapist, a Reiki master,

12
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.840
meditation teacher and his life coach who's
been working in metaphysics for over thirty years,

13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.200
and through the span of her career, she's trained and collaborated with influential

14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:08.000
figures in New Age thought and spiritual
movements, including Louise Hay, Caroline Mays,

15
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.480
John Holland, and John Van Aukin. She's also a third generation Airy

16
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:26.280
staff member, a well known teacher
of Edgar Casey's readings and best known for

17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.200
her work with crystals and stones,
and we are thrilled to have her with

18
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.319
us on the show today. Welcome
Christy George. Thank you. Good to

19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:38.079
be here. You've got a huge
lot of credentials here. That's hard to

20
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.560
pin you down. Yeah, well, I've been doing it a long time,

21
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:47.760
you know. I've grown up in
the work. My parents actually met

22
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:53.799
here back in the sixties. My
grandparents worked here before them, so I've

23
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.680
grown up. It's like pretty much
in your DNA pretty much. Yeah.

24
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.120
Yeah. So involved in this for
so long and having your family back a

25
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.079
couple of generations went through. What
is it that drew you to be best

26
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.879
known or to really kind of focus
your work on crystals and stones. It's

27
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.719
something I've always been drawn to.
I was the kid who was always picking

28
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.879
up the pretty rocks, you know, when I'd go out to play.

29
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.599
My nickname growing up was Crystal.
Uh So maybe my mom was tuning into

30
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:31.039
something when I was little even it's
just and you know, thinking about it,

31
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.520
my grandmother worked with stones, She
made jewelry, My mom made jewelry.

32
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.719
It's something that I dabble with for
fun on the side too. So

33
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:46.400
stones are probably in my DNA as
well. You got a large DNA I

34
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:53.400
do. We're busy people. Well, so, crystals is when you think

35
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.639
about the New Age Thought movement,
crystals is the first thing that pops to

36
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.479
mind. You think, although you
know we have crystal here on set with

37
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.719
us. You think about all the
rituals and people have the all the altars

38
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:13.199
set up right with all the crystals
and things like that. What makes crystals

39
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.719
so alluring? What makes them so
powerful to use in spiritual practices? Well,

40
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.560
they're definitely super popular right now,
There's no doubt about that. I

41
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.199
think what people respond to is,
of course the beauty, right, I

42
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.960
mean, you can't deny crystals are
gorgeously. The citron we have here is

43
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.879
sparkly, it's pretty. The colors. People are drawn to that. But

44
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.639
I think more importantly is the vibration
of the stone. There's something in the

45
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.520
in the vibration that calls to us. You know, if you get into

46
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.960
the quantum mechanics and the particle physics
of things, right, and you really

47
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.240
get into the science, all of
the universe is made up of vibration.

48
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.560
There's a famous Nikola Tesla quote that
talks about the the vibration of the universe,

49
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.000
And there's all sorts of Casey readings
about the vibration of the universe and

50
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.919
and the vibration of stones and crystals
as well. And I think that when

51
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:17.519
you get into crystals and you start
studying, it's it's the vibration of the

52
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:24.160
stones and the different vibrations of the
colors as well, and the light and

53
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.199
how it plays off of them,
and it catches your eye and it it

54
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.360
just draws you in. And when
you're working with the stones and you're holding

55
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.680
them, and when you're first learning, there are some that you can feel

56
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.240
more easily than others, right,
moldivite for instance, which I hope we'll

57
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.879
talk more about a minute. The
you can you can feel more easily than

58
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:56.680
others. But the the vibrations speak
to people, you know, it's something

59
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:06.680
that people can sense on a different
level. And so when you start to

60
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.879
get into this, Yeah, there's
the pretty and there's there's all the jewelry

61
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:16.120
right, clearly, I'm a fan, uh but but there's something deeper to

62
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.720
it, you know. And and
I think that on some level, whether

63
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.680
even they realize it or not,
people are resonating with the vibration of the

64
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.160
stones. It's really amazing how they
retain the energy. I am and it

65
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.800
wasn't crystals. But years ago I
was in South America and I went to

66
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.720
these old uh Inca ruins and we
were at the temple of where the king

67
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.519
lived. And I remember just like
I like to touch these things because it

68
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.439
l they let you there, that's
how you could touch'em. And thinking

69
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.879
of the people that worked on these
so many years ago. And I remember

70
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.600
at that specific temple touching the stone
on the outside it felt cool, but

71
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.399
somehow I could feel like keat coming
from the inside. So is that kind

72
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.279
of what happens with these stones and
the crystals, the the energy stays inside.

73
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.879
I how does that does? How
do they affect people? Like?

74
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.959
How do they work? Do you
have to do a ritual when you're using

75
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:12.120
them? You don't have to do
a ritual. I think there's there's a

76
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.800
myriad of ways to use them.
There's the inherent nature of the stone,

77
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.519
right, the inherent vibration of the
stone that they come with, and then

78
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.519
there's also the fact that they can
soak up the vibration of the area where

79
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:32.000
they are. So for instance,
in Egypt, there are these stones.

80
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.959
They're they're really more glass. Actually
if you look at the chemical composition of

81
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.199
them, and they sell them on
the docks near the Isis Temple, and

82
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:49.480
they're they're just blue silicate, right, But the vibration off of these stones

83
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:59.079
is phenomenal, And I really think
it's because of where they come from,

84
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:04.199
and like if you if you decode
the chemical composition, they're glass. But

85
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.199
there's something more to these stones,
and it's got to be the vibrations of

86
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.920
where they're coming, right, Like
it's what they're soaking up. Right.

87
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.319
I'm also a reiki practitioner, and
I know that we you can you can

88
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:26.000
charge up, so they don't just
exude energy, they actually absorb energy as

89
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.800
well. The different crystals will do
different things, for example, right,

90
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.000
some are meant to help calm you
down, Others have helped to excite you.

91
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.519
Others are help for protection and things
like that. That's the that's the

92
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:45.319
going thought. So can you walk
us through a couple of different crystals,

93
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.759
and what different uses they might have. I'm sure, like you said,

94
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.639
they have their inherent energy, right
Cittering for instance, like we have here

95
00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:01.360
on the table. Is it's a
great joy stone. It's good for joy,

96
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.720
it's good for optimism. It's also
good for prosperity. Okay, we

97
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:15.120
need some y. Let's see labradorite, which is one of my personal favorites.

98
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.600
It's got a little little rainbow in
the stone, right, they don't

99
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:24.079
have like a little blue fire or
sometimes a rainbow if you're really lucky.

100
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.759
It's got an inner fire to it, and that's what it's good for,

101
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.519
right. It's it's for helping you
find your inner fire. It's also a

102
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.919
good protective stone. There's amethyst,
which is a great healer. It's also

103
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:43.000
really good for addictions. The ancient
Greeks actually used it for helping with drunkenness.

104
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.279
They would put a piece in their
beer to help prevent drunkenness. What

105
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:52.480
yeah, for you, I was
just remembering I had was the first time

106
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.840
I didn't know that was the name
of it, labor laborde labrador. So

107
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.600
I got it in Morocco and the
desert, this little old man was selling

108
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.279
stuff like middle nowhere. That's where
I let him touch my knee to get

109
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.240
the price out when we were bargaining
and he was like can I touch you?

110
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.000
I'm like sure, I know.
Well, you know I was young.

111
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.360
I was like twenty five and I
had pants on. I got a

112
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.879
good deal on a lapis ring in
Egypt for a kiss on the cheek.

113
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.360
You know, you do what you
gotta do Egypt. Hey what I can

114
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:31.600
get. Probably the most popular stone
is the right They're everywhere. What are

115
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.039
those good quartz crystals? The clear
Churtz is an energy amplifier, and it's

116
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:43.279
a good stone to amplify the energy
of other stones. It's really good for

117
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:50.120
amplifying energy that you're working with,
So anything that you're trying to increase or

118
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:56.600
if you're concentrating on a goal or
focusing energy for a purpose, whether it's

119
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.360
for healing, or if you have
like a little alter at home home where

120
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.840
you're trying to direct energy towards a
purpose. Quartz is your is your stone

121
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.240
to work for work with for that. So should you have an altar at

122
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:09.639
home? Is that the proper way
to use them? Or can you just

123
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:18.399
kind of have them around yes,
and yes, I mean, uh,

124
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.440
you don't have to have an altar. You can have them around. There's

125
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.759
different stones for different purposes. You
can use them on an altar too.

126
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.080
There's no wrong way to use stones, honestly, I mean in my opinion.

127
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.720
Somebody might tell you otherwise, but
I mean my opinion, there's no

128
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.360
wrong way to use stones. I
love stones, and then I do want

129
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.919
to touch it a couple more.
But before we do that, I've heard

130
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.399
that sometimes stones shouldn't be mixed,
Like there are certain stones that don't work

131
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.039
well together and things like that,
and some that do work well together.

132
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.960
Is that a thing? Or are
we just kind of overthinking things? Which

133
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.240
is good to know because we come
somewhere here here and with our daughter and

134
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.480
she's like, I want this TETs
a bunch out by color or whatever,

135
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.720
and so are they canceling each other
out? Is if we have all of

136
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.519
them at home, is it okay? Well, it's kind of a personal

137
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:20.120
preference issue. Honestly. There are
stones that could possibly cancel each other out.

138
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.919
For instance, if you're trying to
become more spiritual and you're also trying

139
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:31.399
to be more grounded, those could
potentially cancel each other out, but they

140
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.279
could also compliment each other because you
don't want to go, you know,

141
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.320
drifting off into the ethers, so
you want to stay you know, at

142
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.960
least partially grounded. So maybe depends
on the day. It kind of depends

143
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.039
on, you know, how you're
working with them. Sure, my personal

144
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.759
opinion is that it's everything. Working
with stones, just like in any other

145
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:03.039
aspect of spirituality, is how it
resonates with your own personal energy. So

146
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.320
I don't believe there's a way that
you can use stones incorrectly, okay,

147
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:22.879
as far as nothing dangerous, So
I think you're okay, it's just how

148
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.919
they make you feel, okay,
got it? Okay. So if you

149
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.480
go to the store again, you
know, like we go with our daughter

150
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.399
whatever, and you see these beautiful
crystals and you pick them up, and

151
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.879
you pick out one, you take
it home, does it need to be

152
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.879
cleansed? I mean, does it? Do they? Because you've talked about

153
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.679
how they absorb energy. Everyone that
picks it up and touches it, is

154
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.799
it getting their energy? To great
question? To a certain extent, yes,

155
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.720
and cleansing energetically cleansing your stones and
even physically cleansing your stones is important.

156
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.960
And there are different ways to do
that, and that can depend on

157
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.679
the stone that you have because some
stones are more sensitive than others. God,

158
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.919
this is complicated. It can be
complicated, yeah, and still still

159
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:15.080
have feelings. I believe that,
but it can depend might go to easy

160
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.080
access, you know, works for
kind of everything. Is a piece of

161
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.879
selenite. Selenite is a different stone. I was going to touch on selenite

162
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.559
because it's supposed to be like the
super spiritual crystal Young It is super spiritual.

163
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:35.559
It's one of my favorites too.
It's selenite is it's a good stone

164
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.799
for cleansing a space. It's a
good stone for cleansing and charging other crystals.

165
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.000
And it's safe for cleansing and charging
other crystals. You don't have to

166
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.000
worry about putting them in water,
you don't have to worry about them being

167
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.320
bleached by sunlight, you don't have
to worry about any of that sort of

168
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.960
stuff. It's it's good for everything. So how do you use selenite to

169
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.759
charge, you know, or to
cleanse on the crystals? Is use like

170
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.480
a magic wand and go, but
you were not cleansed or like you put

171
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.759
them together. Put them together no
magic wands. I was hoping for the

172
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.799
magic wands. It makes some beautiful
ones and some lovely crystal. But you

173
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:20.879
can just they make some lovely selenite
bowls, they do, or you can

174
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.679
get that nice selenite iceberg. I've
seen lots of those colors. Selenite,

175
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.559
I don't even know it's white.
Usually they also have peach, but it's

176
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.159
it's usually white. So and then
there is one crystal. I suffer terribly

177
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.399
from sleep disorders, sleep challenges.
There's a crystal that you're supposed to put

178
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.759
next to your bed to help you
sleep. There's a few that will oh

179
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.159
boy, oh, can we get
them all? Yes? And can we

180
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.000
bunch them together? Uh? So, what kind of crystals? If someone's

181
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.279
having a hard time sleeping, what
what should they look for? Well,

182
00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:00.240
it can depend on on what your
sleep issue is. But my go to

183
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.639
for that is actually pink amethyst,
which is a newer stone. Okay,

184
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.320
I actually have a piece on my
bedside table, and so does my son.

185
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.840
My son has narc lepsi, so
he has a lot of sleep issues.

186
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.960
It's not just sleeping all the time
like people think it is. It's

187
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:22.279
all kinds of sleep brain issues.
So pink amethyst is my go to for

188
00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:30.440
that. What if you wake up
a lot during the night, obviously there's

189
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.360
interviews strictly for men. So like, I wake up a thousand times in

190
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:37.600
the middle of night and someone told
me I forgot what it was, and

191
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.320
I've got one in on my bedside
table that's supposed to help me and it

192
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.279
hasn't, so I must have the
wrong stone. Yeah, I would try

193
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.919
the pink a withys. Okay,
try the pinkyst for that, and I

194
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.360
guess I could stop poking. That
would be helpful. All right. So

195
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.320
then let's transition to one of my
favorite stones of all time, just because

196
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.399
it's so out of this world.
Literally, let's talk about MOLDI Yeah,

197
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.840
that's where you were going. There
absolutely no pun intended. So what makes

198
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.840
moldivate so extraordinary? Well, Moldivite
is literally from a media, right,

199
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:22.879
that's the puns there. Moldivite is
a little greenstone. It looks very unassuming,

200
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.320
but as a good friend of mine
said once, who needs Margarita when

201
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:33.240
you've got mouldivite Because the vibrations from
moldivite will rock your world. Yeah,

202
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.039
this is the stones that you go
to gem shows and things like that,

203
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.600
and you pick it up and you
feed. We do not because it can

204
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.159
be dangerous. Yeah, it can
be dangerous. There was actually an article

205
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.360
in Cosmopolitan magazine about mouldivite ruined my
life? Uh huh really? Yeah,

206
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.759
how is it? How can that
be dangerous? Is it like radiation or

207
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:00.240
like it was? It was a
huge TikTok trend a few years back,

208
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.559
and everybody went out and was buying
up all this moldivite and they didn't know

209
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:11.039
how to use it properly. And
moldivite is a major transformation bringer in your

210
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.640
life, and people were going out
and buying it and they didn't know what

211
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.359
they were getting into, and it
was bringing major transformations in their lives and

212
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:23.039
they were not ready for it,
and they weren't always good transformation. Can

213
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:32.079
say you define transformation like spiritual transformations
or physical major But just for instance,

214
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.880
when I bought my first piece of
moldibite, forty eight hours later, my

215
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.000
husband was laid off from his job. Oh, we're staying away from that.

216
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.920
And when he told me, though, he couldn't stop grinning. He

217
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.960
had been miserable at his job for
years. Okay, maybe we'll get some

218
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.759
of that, maybe we'll get something. And within three weeks he had a

219
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:57.319
new job and he was so happy
and it changed our lives and he was

220
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:02.720
a new man. Interesting. Wow, you know. So don't pick up

221
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.079
moldivit unless you're ready for transformation in
your life, so major change. If

222
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.200
we wanted to try this, like, could we talk to you and you

223
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.400
could show us what to do or
what not to do. Is that something

224
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.440
that you help people with? Absolutely? Yeah, absolutely. And there's there's

225
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.079
other stones that you can put with
moldivit that will kind of soften that,

226
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.160
Okay, that you can you can
combine it with that will kind of ease

227
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.400
it. And there's also a lot
of times if you have it in say

228
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.799
a piece of jewelry. When I
got my first piece, I had to

229
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.519
wear it like fifteen minutes at a
time and then take it off okay because

230
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.319
it was making me dizzy. Wow, because the vibrations are super strong.

231
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.720
So do you sell it here at
the area? Oh? Yes? Okay,

232
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.200
So so that being said, I'm
assuming you have a few pieces,

233
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.599
yes, And like, does that
affect the people working at the bookstore?

234
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:03.039
They keep it away from the red
when we keep it. We used to

235
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.160
have it in the counter next to
the register, and the cash registers kept

236
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.640
having problems. Wow, so we
had to move it away to look at

237
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.599
this from going to look at it, not that we're going to get any

238
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.599
but we're going to look at it. We have a great resource if we

239
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.759
did absolutely something to help us.
So then we talked about the fact that

240
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.640
you can get these at the Ari
Bookstore and all that kind of stuff.

241
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.200
There's a lot of places you can
get these things. But if you wanted

242
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:32.599
to throw yourself into the world of
crystals, I hear this one show that

243
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.599
you absolutely have to dive into.
Tell us about that. That is the

244
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.839
Tucson Jem Show. It is the
largest gem show in the world. It

245
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.799
happens from the very end of January
through first couple of weeks in February,

246
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:52.279
and it pretty much takes over the
entire city of Tucson, Arizona. It's

247
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:59.680
like a comic con of Tucson Gemstone
Gema Con. Jem Vendors come from all

248
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.920
the world to sell and shop there. And it's not just crystals though I

249
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:10.160
assume, and all different types of
it's crystals, it's jewelry, it's stones,

250
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:15.519
it's it's all kinds of other assorted
vendors, everything from tied I closed

251
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.440
a scarves to other and sort of
apport excuse me, imported items, metal

252
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.079
sculptures and like fun. I don't
want to go. It's super cool.

253
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:32.200
I think I think we should.
Yeah, when is it again? It's

254
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.480
the end of January through the first
couple of weeks of February. Okay,

255
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:41.680
So what is the most rare,
you know, kind of sought after stone

256
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:48.160
that's out there that everybody wants but
it's hard to get. For a while,

257
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.680
it was mouldivite. When it was
hot on TikTok, nobody could get

258
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:57.319
it. Yeah, it's it's a
little more gettable since that article in Cosmo.

259
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:06.200
I you know that the more expensive
stones are are harder to get,

260
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.359
So that's you know, I mean
your diamonds, your sapphire as your rubies,

261
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.079
the standard you know, and those
those have fabulous properties as well.

262
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.960
But then you get into lab created
we're going to ask you about that.

263
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.839
You read my mind. They have
the same chemical composition, but they don't

264
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.480
have quite the same buy Yeah,
I think because if they're if they're getting

265
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.160
their places from the energy, where
these I don't know where they became.

266
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.480
A lab is going to have a
way different energy than like a cave in

267
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:51.319
Egypt. Yeah, I mean they
still have the same chemical composition. I

268
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.759
think they that you could use those, but they require a lot more energetic

269
00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.200
work on the part of the wearer
or the user as far as programming them

270
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.319
to do what you want. They
require a lot more effort to work with

271
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.960
them. Well, then you bring
up they don't have the same soul.

272
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.200
You bring up a good point and
you say, you where program is a

273
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:19.200
crystal? How do you go about
programming a crystal? That's that That could

274
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:26.880
take a long time, that's yeah, but it's doable. Yeah. Yeah,

275
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.960
So then that leads me to you
all here at the ARE from time

276
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.240
to time do classes on crystals and
things like that. Yeah. Absolutely,

277
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.039
If someone was interested in learning more
about crystals, they could reach out to

278
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.920
the ego Casey Are and look at
your schedule to see what the next crystal

279
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.720
class I say, crystal class might
be and and they can learn all about

280
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.720
crystals that way, or they can
reach out to you absolutely say hey,

281
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.319
Christy, I need to know about
crystals. Absolutely, So what would be

282
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.319
the best way for them to contact
you? Through my email here at the

283
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:10.240
organization. Okay, great, it's
gonna be fine. So many more questions,

284
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:15.359
but no time. This has been
wonderful, fascinating. I just when

285
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.319
you learn more about crystals, you
find out that you need to learn more

286
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.480
about crystals. So I feel that
we're probably gonna have a part two ork

287
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:29.559
on three I figure out and I'm
wishing I've brought a bigger purse crystal right

288
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.319
over there, and yeah, in
a minute, But Christy, thank you

289
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.319
so much for coming and sharing your
expertise with us. Crystals. It's a

290
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:41.079
it's a beautiful, mystical, wonderful
world that's so mysterious and yet so approachable

291
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.000
if you know who's act timing about
it. And I particularly know I learned

292
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.960
a lot because I had no idea
about any system, So it's even great,

293
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.160
right, thank you and a huge
thank you to you. If you

294
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.920
know someone who would benefit from here
in the message we're sharing on the show,

295
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.720
do them and us a favor and
share the show with them. It

296
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.640
will help get the word out about
us and it might just change someone's life

297
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.680
for the better. Well, it's
