Nicholas, welcome to the program.

Thanks so much for having me.

How did you get involved in crystals and crystal healing? You know, it's,

it's been kind of a lifelong journey. It starts, I think, very stereotypically for people who like

rocks. I picked up rocks everywhere as a kid, and that was just part of a love of the natural world.

And my grandfather definitely saw this behavior and he gave me my first

piece of quartz from hot springs Arkansas maybe when I was around the age of eight and it was just

love at first sight all of a sudden the kind of inert pieces of the landscape were transformed

into something a little bit more precious, something that, you know, interacts with light in a new way.

When we look through a crystal, we kind of see that, you know, change as light moves through it.

And there was something about that that really mystified me.

And I have been hooked ever since.

Did kids in school come to you a lot asking about this?

No, definitely not.
