Seven-year-old children work in the cobalt and copper mines, where covetable ‘healing’ stones such as citrine and smoky quartz abound. International NGO Global Witness found that the TALIBAN earns up to $20m a year from Afghanistan’s lapis mines, lapis lazuli being, as crystal websites explain, one of the best stones for activating psychic abilities.

@Armchaircouch yknow, I’m thinking of making our future wedding bands from platinum extracted from catalysts, and any stones will be from estate sales (aka someone died and the family needs money for the funeral).
How nice! And that’s really thoughtful... if stones hold energy, which I think they do, that’s starting off with love right there!
