Rocks and crystals are said to have many different benefits, most of which include healing the mind, healing the body, meditation, relaxation and balancing energy or chakras; these are some benefits college students need during exam season.

According to Healthline.com, crystals are believed to have energy stored inside them. Some believe that crystals interact with the body’s energy field and can redirect or unblock “stuck” energy. It is also believed that crystals absorb energy from pressure and movement and convert it into an electronic frequency. This frequency, unique to each type of crystal, is then used with the person’s energy. As it stands right now, this practice is considered a pseudoscience.
