Dear Tagnas,
You are preaching to the "one man choir", in fact, but I am happy for you that you got all that off your chest, my friend! Now it is my turn --
What you described about your most recent find (insofar as astrologers at large go, at least where you live) is simply stated unprofessional, at the very least, which must not come as a surprise given the unregulated-self-regulated *profession* that astrology has become! That is why one must ask around a bit before forging ahead and getting a bad impression about the entire bowl of apples or basket of fish because of one or few specimens. BTW, I am not implying that you are that biased but just am making a general statement based on similar refrains heard before!
Actually, it is good that you are or at least now have become more selective and careful and perhaps given your applied science background like many other engineers and some doctors, you will take up the pursuit of learning astrology and make some worthwhile contributions, I hope!
And, yes you are right about crystals in radio applications and tuning circuits and resistance-capacitance circuits which in biological systems have been found to be crucially important and so by natural extrapolation might very well underlie the theoretical concept of resonance that some say crystals such as diamonds and emeralds and so on work in astrology!
Two thoughts, if I may, for you to ponder upon now or to keep on the back-burner for now and muse about later on should you indeed proceed to learn astrology a bit more and deeper, even if it may sound a bit far-fetched at this time!
Nearly all astrologers recommend the use of natural gemstones and not artificial ones or heat-treated etc. Everyone claims that to be based on anecdotal, undocumented evidence, but what does that really mean or what is the worth of such a body of knowledge, as a science student you may wish to question! We all know that all natural gemstones have impurities and inclusions and so on, so should not gemstones harvested in the lab under strictly controlled conditions (as utilized in electronic applications) be better since they are purer in terms of the crystal of interest? ;-)
The second point is that (piezo-electrics aside) all the crystals, diodes or more complex semi-conductors are useless for electronic applications unless energized by a stream of electrons (electricity) flowing through those? A fact often missing from the common practice of buying a gemstone (natural or artificial) off the rack or from some internet dealer and hoping that it will bring music into our ears and life!
OR, perhaps this electronics-crystal *theory* is not how astrological gemstone remedies work? Perhaps the Quantum mechanics underlying astrology is far off from the comprehension of even brilliant quantum physicists? Partly because they have not gotten interested in astrology? But it is heartening as trends go to see that astrology is gaining the attention of scientists and brilliant modern minds and this is nothing to sneeze at, I tell you! I think it is a good sign and a refreshing change from the puritanical pace and its limitations!
