I think that an individual's feeling a connection with stones, or with a particular stone, is a kind of psychic phenomena -- hard to prove to someone else. There is however, a reason why the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes" resonates with us all. Everyone in the country, including the Emperor, claimed to see the beautiful new clothes, supposedly only visible to particularly good or clever people, rather than admit they couldn't see anything. And it took the wisdom of a child to blurt out that the Emperor was walking around in his underwear, with no magic clothes at all.I´m sure crystal properties are more mystical than scientific if we are talking about the hard sciences like physics. But psychology is science,too, right? Crystals are not even untestable for me if I´m thinking of psychology. I think my crystals are a lot like mirrors. If I take my aquamarine and believe that it will soothe me and calm my nerves during an exam then it may just mirror that wish back to me. Looking at it will remind me of my wish of serenity and calm. I´m sure, however, that I would not feel any such energies in the kind of blind test you described above. I would not feel any calming tingle in my fingers or anything
I think the point is that if you want,say, the kind of energies that Super Seven is supposed to give and believe that it will then it may be a good idea to get that crystal. But you need to do that with your eyes open, knowing that the seller may try to cheat or something like that. However, if you like the stone and you feel it can mirror the kind of properties you are looking for then why not?
So it's never a bad idea to take a logical step back, before investing in an expensive purchase, and ask ourselves, "Does the emperor have no clothes? Do the clothes have no emperor?" If the stone passes this test, THEN buying it is a desirable act.
