In today’s episode, Chris sits down with the legendary Dr. J. Alex Speer, Director of the Mineralogical Society of America, who has significantly influenced the mineral community and paved the way for countless industry professionals. Together, they break down essential mineral terminology, aiming to clarify common misconceptions and provide listeners with a solid foundation in mineralogy.
The conversation also delves into the often-divisive world of minerals, exploring the distinct subgroups within the community—miners, New Age enthusiasts, rockhounds—and how these groups sometimes clash in their perspectives. Dr. Speer reveals mineralogists’ viewpoints on the metaphysical and healing properties of crystals, often opposing the opinions of those who believe in such properties.
Similarly, they address how crystal consumers are often dismissive of experts’ knowledge. With the concerning spread of misinformation in the mineral community, they emphasize the importance of seeking knowledge from credible sources.
