The Shimmering Quotes

“Some of the locals would have you believe there are healing properties in crystals.  I don’t know anything about that.  The only mystical property they possess, and of which I am aware, is the power of protection.  If you locate an exceptionally large geode, you can strike someone on the head with it for protection.”  His yardstick hit the board.  “That was a demonstrative whack.”

“Crystals remind us of the structures upon which our universe is built.  All matter, everything that is physical and solid, owes its existence to the organizing properties of crystals.  Crystals are structures that are formed from a regular repeated pattern of connected atoms or molecules. ”
