Instructions for use and care of your new healing crystal
28.01.10
When trying to harness the wondrous powers of the universe, there are several things to keep in mind about the CR 3000.
Before each crystal leaves our factory in Detroit, it is impregnated with the souls of 3,000 Aztec shamans. The spirits of these once-mighty people are the source of the crystal's energy. As a result, anyone of Mayan or Spanish descent may be harmed by the vengeful spirits rather than healed.
If your crystal causes a skin irritation, blindness or demonic possession, please return it with your receipt for store credit.
Preparing your crystal for use is integral to its efficacy and potency. Each crystal will need to be "cleared" before it's placed on any one of the body's seven chakras. Failure to clear the crystal before use may result in bad voodoo, loss of mojo or third-degree burns.
To clear your crystal, simply place it on a marble alter facing north-northwest during a full moon. Then, at precisely midnight, douse the crystal in a mixture of Snowdonia hawkweed, goat milk and the tears of a newborn child. (Substitution of sandalwood for the hawkweed is acceptable, but highly frowned upon).
