If you are open to it, you can feel it.”ĭumortierite is the stone of “tolerance and tranquility”,” Pacholyk says, promoting “self-discipline, cleanliness, courage, trust, accomplishment, harmony, positive attitude, patience and tolerance”. “Our own body has quartz in it as a mineral, so it is believed we resonate to its properties vibrationally and magnetically. “Quartz is known as the ‘master healer’ of stones,” Pacholyk says. But I think of it the same way that I think of it in other areas of life: if it’s for entertainment purposes only, it’s fine.” The crystals found under New York City
“That is a hard enough problem as it is using all the best science we have. “Adams shouldn’t think, ‘What should we do about gun violence? Let me consult my crystals,’” he says. Shermer says as long as Adams does not let his personal beliefs color his policies, the interest in crystals is harmless. Nancy Reagan let her astrologer dictate her husband’s travel schedule based on the stars.
When the spiritual speaker Marianne Williamson ran for president in 2020, she claimed “the power of the mind” had helped turn Hurricane Dorian away from the US. Still, he says, while Adams may be the first high-profile candidate to publicly declare a love of crystals, the metaphysical has found its way into politics in the past. Michael Brant Shermer, an author and executive director of the Skeptics Society, says there is not a shred of scientific evidence to show crystals have a measurable effect on humans or cities like New York. “I think we were all looking for something bigger than ourselves to help us get through what was going on.” “It always ebbs and flows, but during the pandemic more people had time to research and embrace the metaphysical,” Corvin said. They hold properties that would be helpful for any leader, Pacholyk said: aventurine “helps to stable financial matters, especially when times are tough”, amethyst “provides common sense and flexibility in decision”, and citrine is a “versatile” protecting stone that “dissolves negative energy”.Īdams’ interest in crystals is in line with rising trends, as the industry has boomed in recent years, said Isabelle Corvin, a credentialed jeweler with the American Gem Society who works in a jewelry store in Washington. Pacholyk analyzed a photo of Adams at a December 2021 event and found the bracelets the mayor wears feature at least a dozen varieties of crystals including amethyst, rose quartz, lapis lazuli, citrine, and aventurine.Įric Adams is right that New York sits on unique bedrock. He says it can be felt more strongly in natural areas with exposed rock, like Central Park.Īdams, who shockingly declined to comment for this piece, appears to wear several varieties of quartz himself. So what effect might crystals be having on the lives of New Yorkers? Pacholyk is vague on specifics but believes that certain areas in Manhattan do have a “special energy” owing to the unique mix of minerals found there – including quartz, kyanite, and dumortierite. Called the Manhattan schist, it was formed about 450m years ago in a collision between what is now the east coast of North America and the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The mayor is right about one thing, says Andrew Pacholyk, a New York-based crystal expert: the city, indeed, is seated on unique bedrock that has been known to produce more than 100 varieties of mineral. And when he proclaimed a “vibe shift” is upon New York City, he wasn’t just talking about the return of low-rise jeans.
He regularly wears “energy stone bracelets” featuring an array of powerful crystals. As the New York area news website Hell Gate has deftly pointed out, Adams may be the first “crystal guy” of politics.
