I'm glad to see you say this after your first post! I almost responded right away but didn't want to be discouraging. I think you have the right outlook on it here. My mom was really into crystals and stones and energy medicine. But I can't say that it helped her in any fashion other than placebo effect, and perhaps supporting mindfulness practices, which can be incredibly valuable for healing.
I think using crystals/stones to support a healing ritual that is for relaxation is a great idea. (so long as you're not ditching your meds for it...) Whatever helps you get peace of mind!
I have a handful of very nice quartz crystals that were my moms (she escaped this plane of existence in 2007). I don't have any use for them, they just gather dust. If you want to PM me a mailing address, BNLsMOM, I would be happy to send a couple of them to you (but no pressure if that's uncomfortable to you!) It would make me happy to think that they were making someone else happy.
