I mean crystals definitely have gravity pulling you towards them.

I understand your reasoning and even the appeal, however I personally just wonder if all of these effects wouldn't be possible by any other means. Why does it need to be crystals, intentionally overpriced at that. Marketed by capitalistic interests to exploit you. Theoretically, couldn't you just go out into nature, find a rock you like, and it could have the same effect?
