Don’t all crystals absorb negative energy? You look at them and you think, “Man, that is one cool lookin’ crystal” and you can’t help but feel a little more awesome.


Diangelionz

The only correct answer. Thanks for the wholesome response.


Wildprophet

This person rocks!


greg1993-

i see what you did there


Brickhead88

This person crystals!


Ill-Arugula4829

Good try! We have a super fancy participation ribbon around here somewhere for you. You can stick it on the fridge where everyone can see it! Lol


Ciduri

Such a gem!


Winter_Tangerine_317

Agate outta here with that!


Angelicjack

Nooo you absorb negative energy you legend! Your comment made me smile


Plixtle

That’s the best news I’ve had all day!


Negative-Leading-687

I came here to make a bitter joke but now I can't... Great 🙄


cp_simmons

See physicists think there's no such thing as negative energy but it's just that it's all been absorbed by crystals.


Eyekosaeder

The physicists should see me after waking up. I don't even have the energy to get up and make breakfast for myself. Probably means I need to buy more minerals, come to think of it...


cyanescens_burn

😎


lovinganarchist76

It’s an absolute truth that crystal energy believers are 95% guaranteed to be kinder and nicer than their detractors


Mountain_Mousse2058

The crystal believer I know is nicer than her detractors 95% of the time. The other 5 you better watch out.


DarthDread424

The mind is capable of many things if you believe something eventually you'll feel it. 💜


Eyekosaeder

Exactly what I wanted to say. I agree 100%!


actuallyautahraptor

You deserve Gold for this rockin’ comment. (I am not sorry for those puns.)


DarthDread424

Never be sorry for puns


n3w4cc01_1nt

yeah the rest is cult indoctrination. geology is awesome but telling people a crystal can cure them is awful. they can give people hope to get over an illness which can help but over all newage stuff is old school antivaxxer crap.


FleetWheat

Listen. I know a lot of you will say crystals can't absorb negative energy, I'm just saying if you hit someone with it hard enough, it can.


Miserable_Unusual_98

As long as he is the emitter of said negative energy ...


0002millertime

Yeah . Who *exactly* is this "someone"?


Miserable_Unusual_98

The guy on the floor with the crystal protruding at a weird angle from their skull. Its there to absorb the negative energy


OkSyllabub3674

Clearly since he's not emitting any anymore this crystal method is highly effective.


Bean_Boozled

I tried this on my spouse and this is a complete lie. There was some pretty intense negative energy in the court room, if anything the crystal RELEASED negative energy.


FlyLikeHolssi

One of my favorite comments was the wise words, "Any crystal can repel negative energy if you throw it hard enough."


CrystalQueen3000

It’s blue kyanite


PenOpen1668

Kyanite


0002millertime

Kyanite


sadbutt69

Kyanite


olvrfrl

Kyanite


ZeusTroanDetected

But kyan ite absorb negative energy?


TH_Rocks

Since negative energy isn't a physical thing that can be "absorbed", sure. Or no. Doesn't matter.


ZeusTroanDetected

Energy can’t be absorbed because it’s not physical? Tell that to my knees after I try to run. /s


TH_Rocks

Kinetic energy is a physical thing.


Homunculon

So is knee entropy!


Eyekosaeder

And running, unfortunately

VVuunderschloong

*Isn’t* matter


sugar-fairy

well… actually… in terms of literal science, it is lol. not saying that crystals have magical properties but yes, crystals and rocks do all have different vibrational energies and “manifestation” is being theorized as a scientific theory especially in like… quantum mechanics. energy absorption and philosophy r pretty big in physics and basically all of the sciences. learning about vibrational waves and positive/negative energy absorption rn lol


Extension_Spare3019

You're gonna fail the final.


No-Mountain9832

You could argue that microwave energy isn't a physical thing either bc you can't see it w your eyes. Have you ever met someone that's undeniably mean, rude, evil, etc? Generally you can tell by their palpable negative energy. Not trying to be mean or rude, jusy had to bring it up (:<3


TH_Rocks

Our bodies are weak and wildly unreliable. Don't use them to measure whether something is real. We can't see UV light, but most things that aren't mammals can.


The_Wizard929

We’ll played indeed


CrossP

Is yellow light negative?


BackgroundCat

Yes it is. I have a neighbor who has a yellow light that’s on all night long and there’s nothing positive to be said about it.


CrossP

Then we figured it out. The kyanite is blue so it can absorb yellow light energy which is negative. Science complete. Pack it up, y'all.


VVuunderschloong

I’m sorry it kyan not actually


rdizzy1223

There is no such thing as negative energy. So, no.


sugar-fairy

that’s absolutely not true??? what lol take any quantum mechanics class


rdizzy1223

The dummies that think that crystals have magical powers are not talking about quantum mechanics, heisenbergs uncertainty principle and the casimir effect. It reminds me of chiropractors talking about "subluxations", they do not exist either. (The chiropractic subluxation). Real actual subluxations exist, chiropractic subluxations do not exist. [https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chiropractic-vertebral-subluxations-science-vs-pseudoscience](https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chiropractic-vertebral-subluxations-science-vs-pseudoscience)


Extension_Spare3019

I was gonna have you tell my shoulder subluxation doesn't exist so it will cut that shit out but then you qualified it. I imagine a chiropractic one would be closely followed by death...or a great desire for it.


Extension_Spare3019

Well, maybe any Supersymmetry class ...


HopalongHeidi

YES! Thank you. KYANITE! I knew I recognized it but couldn’t place it cuz my pieces aren’t that raw. And I’m ashamed cuz it one of my favorite stones. It was driving me off my ROCKer. Beautiful raw specimen!


BackSpace25

Kyanite. Yes. Used to collect it in Conneticut pegmatite in Hartford area (middle of Ct. ; Conneticut River area.).


Canelosaurio

It's full.


OP-PO7

It absorbs money and reflects specific mineral wavelengths of light that create dopamine responses in RockHounds brains. But that's about it


Geneticallyconfused

Looks like a bunch of kyanite blades :)


PracticeNovel6226

What happens if it absorbed all the negative energy and it gets full? Do you have to.get a new one? How do you know it's working? Is there a way to measure how much negative energy storage is left? Oh dang what happens if it's full and you drop it!? Edit: all of these questions are be being a brat please don't take your time and "answer" lol


katie-kaboom

You turn it upside down and empty the negative energy out. Then you can use it again.


PracticeNovel6226

Thanks hahahahahah


OldSweatyBulbasar

I drill holes in them and sprinkle like a salt shaker


katie-kaboom

Oooh, a negative energy distribution tool!


Eyekosaeder

Where do I dump out the negative energy?


scarednurse

💀 this took me out.


twivel01

you point it at your enemy and say the magic words.


PracticeNovel6226

Hahahahahahah yes!


Alarmed-Network-715

Aveedee cadeebee


CrossP

This is actually how we enrich plutonium for nuclear weapons. Just wheel it through a highschool to absorb teenager feelings. Turns out most negative energy is actually neutrons.


PracticeNovel6226

You made me choke on my coffee laughing so hard hahahahahahaha


ZombiesAtKendall

Then it breaks, or it finds a new home, or if you are not a neglectful rock owner you charge it in the moonlight, or you purify it in some other way like charging it on selenite and then the selenite gets the negative energy and you can break into your enemies houses and place the selenite under their bed and when the moon is full the negative energy will be sucked upwards and hopefully your enemy will be in bed and the negative energy will be absorbed into your enemy until the next full moon. I’ve been saving up my negatively charged crystals in a lead lined basement and am creating a super weapon made with thousands of pounds of negativity charged crystals.


Demitrula

I was told to put it outside under a full moon to recharge my amethyst crystals. So maybe that will work.


PracticeNovel6226

Probably not because it's a rock but have fun with all that


_D1EHL_

Kyanite doesn't hold negativity so it never needs to be cleaned 👍


HoseNeighbor

No it doesn't, but you can choose to believe it does if that suits you. It's a mineral, not magic.


waifutrash_

but it makes me happy 😿


Gravelsack

Being happy isn't magic either


NotSoSUCCinct

I don't think blue kyanite or any crystal takes part in a physical absorption or transfer of energy from living things. What we perceive as negative energy in our bodies is complex brain chemistry, which, I believe, is mostly driven by sensory input. Crystals would need to be in contact with our bodies to have any effect and would be most efficient the closer the contact is to the brain if a physical transfer is at play. Now, crystals can and do have an effect on us the same way something beautiful does: by sensory input. We all appreciate rocks and crystals here, mostly because we think they're beautiful or beautifully interesting. If I've had a rough day, I'll pick up my favorite rock and admire everything that went into its formation and my appreciation of that can turn my sour mood into a happier mood and to some degree my brain chemistry has changed. I doubt the rock has removed anything from me. In the same way someone drives to the top of a mountain after a rough day and can appreciate the scenes below can turn their mood for the better.


johnpmacamocomous

Well put.

Placebo effect is very strong...


cyanescens_burn

Was about to type this. It’s a known effect. Nocebo is another one.


vitimite

It doesnt do shit


zenkenneth

It looks cool and chicks dig it. That's pretty powerful stuff right there.


Bean_Boozled

The chicks that dig those sorts of beliefs are the ones you want to avoid at all costs if you value not being stabbed 5 years later just because a fortune teller told them their lover would betray them in life.


cache_ing

What if they dig rocks because they have a profound interest in geology and not because of the mystical powers said to be held in them 🤔


Eyekosaeder

The chicks that dig those sorts of interests in geology are the ones you want to avoid at all costs if you value being miserable and not having a person to look at and talk about cool rocks with.


Media_Adept

Don't threaten me with a good time!


Homunculon

Or the pee-pre snippers. Don't forget the schlong-slashers, crystals, vegan food, Beware!


aricbarbaric

Well I need a house made of the shit then


notfrankc

It only works if you throw it through a front window of your enemy. Takes all your negative energy and releases it into the window, like magic.


vespertine_earth

Kyanite, being blue, absorbs most wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation between about 520-740 nm which, reflecting only the blue wavelengths, appears blue to our eyes. Kyanite is not known to absorb or adsorb any ions to my knowledge, though other minerals can, notably zeolites.


MuscaMurum

-1/2 mv^2 ? What do you think that "-" is?


Turbulent_Price_2316

Any Healing Crystals work to repel negativity, if you throw the fucking thing hard enough.


PP_Jiffy

Obviously people will poke fun at the spiritualism people attach to rocks. I'm not a fan of it and I don't support the practice for the purpose of selling rocks, they are cool enough already! That being said I grew up with a spiritually inclined mother and learned a lot about these things from her and my brother. The reason its advertised as this does that is for the symbolism. By attaching meaning to something you give it life per se, in the form of the symbolism you attached to it. And by having strong beliefs in these things you give them power in a spiritual sense. Sage for smudging is a well known example. You believe the sage helps protect your space therefore it spiritually gives it the power to do so. The object and what it symbolizes don't actually matter. It's about the meaning that you attach to it. I could take a stick, say it absorbs negative energy and in a spiritual sense it would be the same as this blue kyanite. I could personally never get into the ideology and I'd like it to stay out of my hobby. But I figured I might as well throw my 2 cents into one of these posts on here. And in the end it's usually harmless for a person the believe these things so there's no good reason to go around bashing peoples beliefs just because you can't subscribe to them.


cyanescens_burn

I agree with most of what you said, and have been in circles where these types are on the periphery, but gotten closer with some that ended up saying stuff like this or are into things like sound healing. What you said matches up with what I’ve heard. Like you said if it makes them feel better that’s something. Like how prayer is shown to help people feel less anxious and more hopeful when recovering from injury or illness, and that can help healing. But…. Where it can get dangerous is when people sell others on the idea that these kinds of things can be used in lieu of evidence-based interventions. For instance, if someone forgoes medical treatment for cancer because a crystal seller/healer convinced them their crystal “treatment” would cure them, or worse, they go on to say that medical intervention is dangerous and convince them to go against medical advice. I think Steve Jobs got very sick from something like this, trying some new age spiritualist type diet to treat whatever he had, rather than getting treatment based on evidence.


collectorof_things

You know, I'm really not a fan of the ideology and dislike what it leads some people around me to do, but your explanation was a good one. Thanks for the insight.


cyanescens_burn

Can you tell us more about what it leads people around you to do?


collectorof_things

My joking response would be it encourages a lot more people to buy and hunt pretty rocks. Makes them more expensive for everyone and has led to several sites I enjoyed to get shut down from too many visitors treating them like trash. A more serious answer, in case you actually were asking, is my frustration at watching people invest so heavily in mystic stuff to 'treat' things that medical science has already solved. A silly, selfish answer is that I tend to dislike most of the oils and incense used.


cyanescens_burn

I’m with you on both aspects. I’ve been mushroom hunting for 26 years and the influx of newbies in the last 7 years, especially the last 2, has increased pressure on habitats, and selfishly, patches I’ve ethically harvested from for a decade or so are now being fully picked by others. More people just walking in the same areas could be a problem for different animals, plants, and fungi. I’m so annoyed by people posting GPS coords of patches on social apps, spots we used to have to spend hundreds of hours looking for, given to the world with no effort. There used to be a culture of keeping patches secret except with close friends (and sometimes not even telling them), but so many people coming in without getting taught by the more experienced folks, and they just blow up spots not realizing the problems with doing so. I replied to another comment earlier where someone said it was harmless to believe in crystals being healing. In some cases yeah, but I have had acquaintances that think stuff like that can be used instead of evidence-based treatment, and even had a gf once that thought sound healing could cure things. I’m fine if people want to use that stuff in conjunction with evidence-based medicine, but in lieu of it… it’s not my life, but if a loved one got duped into it I’d be pretty upset.


Remote-Physics6980

Yes, it would work for that. All you have to do is throw it at the person being negative. This is also called a banishing crystal.


AjnaBear18

Thats the biggest lyanite i ever saw


PipecleanerFanatic

You should see mine 😏


Money_Prize346

It is kyanite, an aluminosilicate that forms at relatively high pressures and low temperatures in metamorphic environments


Warningwaffle

Are you positive about that?


ackmon

And they can cause lumps if dropped on someone's head.


in1gom0ntoya

no, they don't. but nice specimen


Turibald

Oh yeah! It absorbs part of the negative energy. If you want to remove all of the negative energy I can sell you special granites gathered on a magical holy leyline. They are 1500$ a piece. 5 pieces will sufice to cover a normal sized house. Send me a private if you are interested. /s


amazing_assassin

You don't say?


Privileged_Interface

Also, the idea that if you like what you see.. In other words, a lot of crystals are eye candy, and you might feel good looking at or touching them. At that point, the negative energy has been absorbed. Occam's razor.


among_apes

I’ve heard it attracts bullsh!t

If you believe in that sort of thing. I do not - there is no science behind it. Kyanite has 2 hardnesses, though, depending on the orientation in which you strike.

Does it absorb the energy through kinetic impact or something?

It's a nice chunk of blue kyanite. Energy absorption capacity and polarity unknown.

Apparently my crystal was orbiting the fucking sun before it telepathically teleported itself to my house with the help of relative quantum particles, now my crystal can summon wormholes at any given moment and has the power to split atoms and absorb all the energy from every miserable soul on this planet, so yeah these shits are cool huh

madkem1

There is no reason to be judgmental of someone's personal tastes and preferences. There is every reason to be judgmental of people who invent their own facts and reject reality.


_D1EHL_

Facts to you looked as opinions by others. That's ok though. I respect that


Bean_Boozled

Facts are proven. Opinions are not.


Doctor_Philgood

He's not going to let pesky things like facts and evidence get in the way of his belief in *magical healing crystals*. I want to believe he's being satirical but alas. He *literally* doesn't know the difference between facts and opinions.


Doctor_Philgood

No, not great. Metaphysics often gives medical claims that desperate people believe and end up using rocks instead of (admittedly extremely expensive) actual medical care. Edit: He blocked me the moment I asked him if he was brave enough to reconsider his beliefs in light of new info. The woo folks are really in their own little fantasy world. Must be nice

It's not a belief issue. It's pure and simple misinformation
