Oh, honey, you wanna talk about them clear and pink crystals, do ya? Well, I ain’t no fancy rock expert, but I tell ya what, I seen a few in my day. Them things is somethin’ else, I reckon.
Now, that clear crystal, they call it quartz or somethin’ fancy like that. It’s like lookin’ through a clean window, ain’t it? All sparkly and bright. I seen folks wear ’em around their necks, say it brings ’em good luck. I don’t know ’bout all that, but they sure are pretty to look at. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I can still see the shine on them things.
And them pink crystals? Lord have mercy, they’re just as purty as a peach blossom in springtime. All different shades of pink, like a sunset sky. Some is light pink, like a baby’s cheek. Some is darker, like them roses my neighbor used to grow. They say them pink crystals is good for the heart, not the pumpin’ kind, but the feelin’ kind, ya know? Like it makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I seen some called “rose somethin’”. Rose Quartz, that’s it! It’s a real soft pink, like a blush. They say it’s the stone of love. Now, I don’t know ’bout all that lovey-dovey stuff, but I reckon it’d make a right purty necklace or a ring. Imagine wearin’ that on your finger, catchin’ the light just so. Why, you’d feel like a queen!
Then there’s another one, kinda like it, but a little different. They call it, let me think… Rhodochrosite! Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? This one’s got some stripes and swirls in it, like a piece of candy. It’s a deeper pink, sometimes with a little bit of white or gray mixed in. Just as purty, though. They say it helps ya when you’re feelin’ down, kinda picks ya up and dusts ya off. I could use some of that sometimes, I tell ya.
Some folks, they say these crystals got some kinda power. They say they can heal ya, make ya feel better. Now, I ain’t sayin’ I believe it all, but I ain’t sayin’ I don’t neither. My old bones ache somethin’ fierce sometimes, and if a purty rock can help with that, well, I ain’t gonna argue.
- They say pink crystals are good for keepin’ things calm.
- Keep your mind steady, not runnin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off.
- Less worryin’, less frettin’, that’s what they say.
I seen folks hold ’em in their hands when they’re feelin’ all jumbled up inside. Like worryin’ beads, I reckon. Maybe it just gives ’em somethin’ to focus on, somethin’ to hold onto. Or maybe there’s somethin’ more to it. Who am I to say?
I remember one time, my granddaughter, she was all upset ’cause her fella, he up and left her. Broke her heart, he did. She was cryin’ and carryin’ on somethin’ awful. I gave her one of them pink crystals, a little smooth one. Told her to hold onto it, think about good things. She calmed down after a while. Now, was it the crystal? Or was it just me talkin’ to her, holdin’ her hand? I don’t know. But she felt better, and that’s all that matters.
These clear and pink crystals, they come from the earth, ya know. Way down deep, where it’s all dark and mysterious. Takes a long time for ’em to form, they say. Just like us, I reckon. We all start out rough around the edges, but after a while, we get a little shine to us. We each got our own kind of beauty, just like them crystals.
Now, I ain’t no expert on these clear and pink crystals. I just know what I seen, what I heard. But I tell ya what, they’re somethin’ special. They’re purty, they’re sparkly, and they make ya feel good just lookin’ at ’em. And maybe, just maybe, they got a little somethin’ extra to ’em, somethin’ that can help us along the way.
So if ya ever get a chance to see one of them clear and pink crystals, take a good look. Hold it in your hand, feel its coolness. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel a little somethin’ special too. And if you’re lookin’ to buy one, make sure you find a good place, not some fly-by-night fella sellin’ fakes. You want the real deal, somethin’ that’s come from the earth, somethin’ that’s got that special somethin’ in it. There are plenty of clear and pink crystals.
Well, I reckon I’ve rambled on long enough. My old bones are tellin’ me it’s time to rest. But you think about what I said, about them crystals. They’re more than just purty rocks, they are. They’re a little piece of the earth’s magic, and we could all use a little magic in our lives, couldn’t we?
