The 'wellness' crystals people buy for supposed healing properties could be sourced unethically

I use crystals, I am can assure you, I am not fruit cake, quite sane in fact ( just ask my doc ) ..... I believe it's what ever get one through their day. It's far better than popping a whole lotta pills which seems to be the norm these days.

I also use salt lamps, incense etc, so have me commited lol

People buy food, clothes and other commodities all sourced from "unethical" places, so what is the difference?

I reckon fruitcakes and nutshells could be sourced unethically, as well.

But remember, the right one chooses you.

I don't have any crystals but we have a place called salt of the earth near here. It's a series of salt rooms for therapy and from what I have read, they seem to have very positive effects for some people. My granddaughter has eczma and it was very bad a year or so ago when she was a baby & I was thinking of getting her a subscription if it returns as I saw photos where some of the children who go there have had really amazing results.

Several friends and family also have salt lamps and I was also considering getting one.

I own some crystals but done really use them as such.

Rose quartz is my favourite. Bought a rose quartz tree ornament at a crystal shop some weeks ago. It is one of my favourite items.

Not yet.

I will eventually but I am about to get the kitchen redone in a few days so I am in the process of having to empty everything, with boxes everywhere. Clutter like you wouldn't believe. I don't want to bring another thing into the house till I get all this sorted. Wish me luck!

Good luck re your kitchen, you dont realise how much "stuff" is in the cupboards until you have to box it up

I like my salt lamps, I turn them on after I vacuum, they they seem to clean the carp out of the air in the room

That's a good idea, I might try that too when i get one.
