Overheard at a gem and mineral exhibit at the science museum in Denver..."oh look, it's the one that gives you energy!"

Unless you're the Rock Eater from The Neverending Story.

I prefer the ones that tell me how I actually feel.

 Good one!  " I overheard a gem at a mineral exhibit" That was how I originally read it.
 
Pearls before swine. ...yep.

I know someone who's into crystal woo, chakra woo, pretty much any kind of woo. Absolutely refuses to believe medical science and its "chemicals" has ever cured anything, can cure anything and isn't a secret conspiracy to shorten patient's lives.
 
One day their fondness for woo will probably kill them.

My kinda woo.

I wish I'd thought of phrasing it that way! That's good.
