Hey, okay, just a quick note up top that this episode gets like a little like

Like a little mystical. We don't not talk about the power of crystals in this

I wanted to know as a

Gemiologist what thisologist belief was in the mystical nature of rocks if she believed in it

So I hear her out

I also discuss the neuroscience of the placebo effect and how our thoughts can change our behaviors

It's based in neuroscience. Try not to add me about it because like I get it. Okay cool

Gems this episode about gems. It's truly outrageous. Well, it's pretty good. We don't talk about crutches very much

But is it pretty good episode? So let's start with the etymology of gemology

Comes from allergy the study of and gems meaning gems

But gems comes from an old dusty Latin word for gems

Which comes from the word for bud like a cute little rose only its dug from the ground and it's worth more than your house

Now I knew I wanted to cover this topic for months and so I started hunting down on Facebook for a gemologist

And I got in touch with today's guest whose number I saved in my phone with

The crystal ball emoji the diamond

emoji and the ring emoji now I'm gonna tell you secret if you have an emoji next year name in my phone
