Old Rocks, New Names


Book Description

It is often difficult to decipher whether a crystal or mineral's name is the real deal or something made up, especially if you are just beginning your crystal journey. A new name can often be a legal right, one that has gone through proper channels, testing and legal trademark registration. Many times, however, it is a made up name to increase its value, unbeknownst to the buying public. "Renaming a crystal or mineral with a fancy foo foo name is prostituting Mother Nature's children. It is neither necessary nor appropriate. Dress it up and give it a fancy name and sell it for more than it is worth is a common practice for some in the metaphysical community. The practice of misleading and making something it is not, is the practice commonly used by politicians and snake oil salesmen." Honesty, Integrity, Truth in labeling. The Rebel Rocker
