Crystal Videos: Podcasts, Meditation, Obsidian
Video #1 is the latest in my new series of Podcasts, this one on the What & Why of my Crystal Meditations. Our online Meditation is THIS Sunday Jan. 19, with our in person Meditation comes Tuesday, Jan. 21. After that, it’s all about Tucson. Video #2 turns you on to 2 types of Obsidian. And then there’s some Social Commentary, which I’m renaming again, to be Perspective (a deeper dive into where my head is at).
Email Kyle@CrystalConcentrics.com with any questions.

1. What’s up with our Meditations anyway: an exploration
This Podcast is an embellished restatement of some earlier programming – previous invitations – designed to explain in detail what happens during both my online & in person Meditations. My hope is to entice more folks to enjoy both.
See our upcoming events HERE – our online Meditation for January will be the 19th – and our in person Meditation will be the 21st.

3. new type of Obsidian: Camo (my name) stands out
Obsidian comes in several varieties. Here we compare 2 of them: Sheen Obsidian (“Light in the Darkness”) with a type of Rainbow Obsidian I have named “Camo” because it’s got pattern that shows automatically, whatever the lighting situation may be. Most Rainbow Obsidiana show their color ONLY when bright light is shone on them. Anyhow, these are examples of the type of outstanding pendants we carry. Email Kyle@CrystalConcentrics.com with interest.
4. Social Commentary will now be called Perspective
The year’s only just begun, and I’m exhausted. Yes, I work really hard in my life. As an entrepreneur, our work is never done. So it’s hard to find time for leisure or study, religion is barely pursued as survival comes first.
It’s work for me produce these newsletters – and all the free content I put out – so it’s hard when folks don’t come on board with these meditations I lead. Or question their “value” (ie. money vs. time spent). That’s why I made Video #1 in this update, to further explain (or justify?) what I do (and its worth).
Anyhow, like any serial solo-preneur, I make my own rewards. Sales fall off a cliff after Christmas and we have to carry on. Our value is not determined by our register tally. Being able to open a channel to the Eternal and the Divine is something I look forward to every month. That’s my main motivation for doing it.
And then there’s Tucson – like going to Crystal Heaven annually – so I’m grateful for that. This might be my last time selling there. I don’t relish time away from my family, some really good relationships to be in. Survival. Continuity. Connection.

1. The Crystals we weave: a tapestry created for Meditation
In this video, I muse that the sun’s hitting these various stones in a way that makes them look like a colorful Stonehenge. You’ll have to attend one of our in person or online Meditations to experience how I weave the various crystals selected into a coherent Guided Journey experience.
Present were TOPAZ – already removed from the video tableau; PINK MANGANO CALCITE and RHODOCHROSITE for Body Healing & Revitalization. Then we came up some with Heart-Healing PINK OCTAHEDRAL FLUORITE; before rising into The Mind with AQUAMARINE and healing it (the mind) with LITHIUM QUARTZ. Finished with a LAVENDER CHALCEDONY for Healing and RED JASPER for Balance and Equilibrium.
See our upcoming events HERE – our online Meditation for January will be the 19th – and our in person Meditation will be the 21st.

3. best FORDITE ever: NYC knows how to pick ’em
First video I’ve put out in awhile. The Holidays. TikTok changed their captions processing, and I couldn’t see/forgot where/how to put the Headline in. Annoying. Oh, and because of their new captions system – I clicked back – and it erased them. So I had to start fresh, and there’s a typo! Which I never allow.
ANYHOW – none of that’s actually relevant to the CONTENT of the video – which is most important. FORDITE is an industry name given to automobile factory paint drippings – which build up in layers, based on the different colors the cars have been painted – and are then cut into cabochons for jewelry. The raw material and the artful talents of the jeweler produce an infinite variety of finished product. This was one of the best ones I’ve every seen – in terms of harmonious color and pattern spread – cut perfectly, and custom set in a pendant that appealed to this NYC buyer. I love NYC shoppers – ’cause even though they can be annoying in their own way – they’re worldly and educated, appreciate quality, and aren’t afraid to don larger / awesome big pendants.
4. Politi-Corner is now Social Commentary
As a well-rounded person – I necessarily have opinions about what’s going on in the world – which I’ll be sharing here. It’s Social Commentary – generally – rather than Political banter, per se. And I have a perspective – an angle – that I view the world from.
It’s supposed to be a Happy New Year, and yet we just had a mass casualty (terrorist!) event in New Orleans.
In just over a week, Trump will be inaugurated again, however you feel about THAT!
And those wildfires in California – are they being started (some of them) intentionally – by terrorists (again) – and what’s with the conspiracy theories making preposterous an inappropriate assumptions about who’s responsible?!
Certainly Climate Change is a thing, we saw a looong “India Summer” this Fall in New England, but now it’s been frigid. Believe me, I know, I was out in it 4 hours finalizing the prep of my pallets, which are now en route to Tucson (where I’m headed in 11 days).
Everything’s going on all at once – our personal, professional, and societal life – wish us luck!

1. Awesome Gift Buying Award: a perfect buy & role model
The Awesome Uncle Award I called it – this innovative gift purchase last week was a perfect collaboration between me and a customer – which will hopefully serve as inspiration for future buyers. Our friend picked a unique (certainly not common to find) Fossil Fish Pod and paired it for his niece with a fine Campo del Cielo Meteorite pendant/necklace. Always a good idea to get something you can wear AND something you can put into your collection.

3. Crystal Variety Spotlight: pink octahedral Fluorite cluster
The morning after an online Meditation, I was handling this piece in the early day’s sunlight, and was struck by its majestic aesthetic quality: a mountain range of pink pyramids from China (not to be confused with the Mexican variety). I didn’t have time to mention in the video – but Pink Fluorite is about Heart Healing – which is a good thing.
4. Politi-Corner
I rarely chime in outside my key professional focus on crystals, but these times call for it. We can’t compartmentalize our lives so thoroughly that we lose sight of some of the bigger (and toxic) dynamics at work in dismantling what order we enjoy in our civilization. So this section will be devoted to exploring some of my favorite topics in this realm beyond gems!
In 10 hours last night, I was able to garner more Comments than even Likes. This has been a sporadic foray on my part, into expressing some of my non-crystalline philosophies – of which I have many – because, as mentioned above, it’s time.
Some people asked “which conspiracy theories” – as if to withold judgement – on the chance that they shared some of those same beliefs (antithetically to mine). Others simply prioritized my wellbeing and option to close the door on friendships that had ceased to be based on kindness, compassion, logic or facts.
In a cowardly new world of moral relativism, it’s easy for people to take on poorly thought through prejudices, and virtue signal their moral superiority without consideration of the cost and expense of their views on others.

3. Fortuitous Online Purchase: amazing Richterite necklace
When hard work and kismet (encountering something by chance that seems like it was meant to be) pay off. A buyer found me on YouTube and within 24 hours, purchased this amazing piece. It’s the last (of 2-3) full Richterite necklaces I had bought years ago, wisely, as I can’t turn around and find another like it anymore. Richterite is found with Sugilite – or WAS found – as it’s no longer being actively mined. And while it’s more rare than Sugilite – it’s less in demand – though people who like it, swear by it. For me, it’s akin to Sapphire, having to do with Spiritual Manifestation.

3. Sisters Art Exhibit: amazing paintings and ceramics
It’s quite unique when 2 sisters – who’ve been lifelong Artists (one painting and the other creating ceramics) – collaborate on an Art Exhibit called Sisters, Rocks and Roots not far from my own shop, in Concord, MA. Be sure to visit the Lucy Lacoste Gallery from now thru January 4th. In this video – as a rock lover – I was of course drawn to the swirling lava-looking piece in back, but that was not the public’s main attraction. You can see (except for the last one) that Ilana Manolson’s wall art is vibrant, colorful, and dynamic; and Frith Bail’s pottery is grounded and grande at the same time!

3. Happy Customer: amazing Pink Quartz loving meditator!
Meet Amy – who recently discovered our store AND our meditations. Always a pleasure to meet people who get it, who are picking up what we’re putting down…book buyer too! She’s at an important junction of her spiritual journey (and we’re happy to be on the route). The piece we highlight here was one I bought reluctantly – ’cause it was more expensive than I thought it would be. It wasn’t even on display in the shop – but she found it when I was showing her our enormous back stock – and fell in love (deservedly). The color’s amazing – I don’t even think I’ve seen pink Colombian Quartz – it usually is Himalayan. But the quality here’s obviously Colombian – bright and sparkly – I really appreciate how the double terminated cluster curves and rests on its side, so yummy! Anyway, she clearly has good taste, and I hope she’ll understand just how unique this piece is. Reach out to learn more about our wide selection of outstanding crystals: Kyle@CrystalConcentrics.com

3. Last Show of the Year: ending the show season with friends!
It’s not too late to attend, here’s the INFO for the Worcester Gem Show. Last day is TODAY, Sunday, Nov. 24. As we usher in the Holiday Shopping Season – when I’ll be strapped to my shop: the Portal Crystal Gallery in Arlington (you should come!) – it’s exciting to be ‘out in the world’ at a real rock show in Worcester (technically Webster) MA. Everyone has something interesting and unique at their table, and I’m no different (or SO different). Sure, there’s some overlap, but I would happily buy something from every seller’s table. Anyhow – this completes an annual cycle, really since after Tucson ’24 – where I’ve fine tuned my offerings based on customer interest, in the niche I’ve created. Next is planning for how to bring all this to Tucson!

3. My Favorite Rings: we’ve got ’em all, at upcoming shows!
I’ve finally innovated a way to show the most different types of rings ever assembled in one display case (by me) for the NYC Gem Show in Nov. ’23. Of course, my favorites are Moldavite, Jade, Sugilite, but also Herkimer & Opal, Rhodochrosite, Citrine, and more. Email Kyle@CrystalConcentrics.com to “put a ring on it.”
4. Hungering for Truth in Turbulent Times…
Notice the relatively viral exposure of my video above (link is for IG, but the high numbers above are on TikTok) to nearly 36,000 people. In it, I discuss the “silver lining” (some think there is none) of Trump’s election, as well as underscoring how short I expect the “honeymoon” to be (before we’re back to the wacky reality show drama of his last term).
Many who voted for him don’t love him, necessarily, but adhere to a set of values he represents: “the border” – “crime” – “the economy” (the list goes on) that do not include “women’s rights” – “health care” – “the environment” (to name a few).
And yet – for a cause I’m partial to – the continuity and protection of Israel: Trump has been a true ally – not immune to his own mixed messages – but his actions spoke louder than words last time around.
I couldn’t pull the lever for him myself, but I’m hopeful for anything positive to come out of this. America loves to swing back and forth – and the numbers are really fifty/fifty – in terms of who wanted whom to be president. It’s healthy to have the opposite sides take turns to feel in control, and like the correct moves are being made to make the country better.

1. Meteorite types: Chondrites, Symchan, Aletai and more…
I have a Chondrite (or stony) Meteorite – but I didn’t learn until I spoke to this Russian vendor at the Denver Gem Show (Marriott, ’24) – that there was such a thing as an A (or as I heard wrongly: an E) -Chondrite. Apparently one is like “space dust particle board” – and the other is melted and reconstituted space particle board – a meaningful difference for some, and scientifically. Anyhow – the Seymchan cube and Aletai ball/obelisk were ultimately more attractive to me, but the price tag!!!

3. Meditation Stones: the type of stuff we get into…in person!
Every time is different – but we have recurrent themes – for starters: our “central constellation” of mood setting stones in the middle, between us Meditators. In this case, particularly notable were 3 extraordinary blue Fluorite octahedrons. After our usual Body Meditation, we explored the Sky Energy with Celestite, and how it’s gravity brings Heavenly Gifts (and Gratitude) ‘down’. Then – based on where people were at, and what they’re needs going forward presented to be – we brought in specific stones for each person, ranging from a wholesome Canadian red sandstone to Scheelite, Shungite, and Yellow Selenite. See our upcoming events HERE.

Crystal Videos: Argentine and Meditation Stones, New Shows
>> scroll down for our EVENTS & upcoming SHOWS alert <<
1. Argentine Stones: pink and blue and yellow and red!
While I was at the Denver Gem Show (Hard Rock Summit) – pre-weekend, before the inside exhibits were unveiled – I found some old friends who carry the best in Argentine stones. The distinctive yellow Fluorite bowl and Phosphosiderite rose bouquet stood out to me, but Blue Onyx and bright red gem Rhodochrosite are also extremely attractive. I was tempted to purchase, but the numbers were large, offering little resale opportunity for me. So per usual – I share the treasures nonetheless – so people can appreciate what I take note of, and what’s universally appealing. Write or Reply with interest, and for more information, ’cause we do carry these varieties.
