I’ve been fascinated by the world of crystals ever since hiking up Mount Sinai in Egypt in 2003 and being given a local quartz geode as to remember this special experience.

Since then, I’ve casually collected and worked with crystals – until I met Eric Brief. His understanding and knowledge of crystals gave me access to a whole new world of crystals. 

Together we started @crystalcriminals, have led in-person workshops, and have traveled to crystal birthplaces from upstate New York (Herkimer Diamonds) to Namibia (Brandberg Amethysts).

In this episode, we discuss: 

• How he got into healing, meditation and crystals at an early age
• How crystals work
• How crystals transform energy
• The role crystals have played in his entrepreneurial journey
• His top “wow” crystals
• How to choose crystals
• How to work with crystals
• How we started @crystalcriminals
• How to protect your home from spirits: creating a force field with black tourmaline
• What most artists don’t get about social media
• Top crystals for entrepreneurs 
• Top crystals for sharing your voice 
• How to approach crystal business more consciously and ethically 
• The best uses for selenite
