I went camping at Mt. Shasta a year ago. There are tons of these gem/crystal stores in the town. Sure many of them are very pretty to look at, but the way people talked about healing and energy I had a hard time not laughing. These people also claim to be self conscious and care about the environment, but seem to have no understanding of where them gems came from. I could be wrong, but I think more are coming from china and are nearly the equivalent to blood diamonds, using the poorest labors to mine them. It was very surreal. Other than that Mt. Shasta was beautiful, the laval tunnels were awesome.
