What is the worship of crystals?
What did JS have to say on the subject?

I'll do a seperate post on it, but they flesh out the folk magic aspects. Roberts also mentions that Ethan Smith describes a "urim" in a Native American "breastplate" several years before the Book of Mormon is translated.

Wow. I never really realized it, but Crystal Gayle was kind of hot back then. That is, if you can get over the beaver pelt swinging back behind her butt.

Goodness. Where to begin? If, as a board, we read Quinn's Mormonism and the Magic World View, we'd have more insight into just how into crystals, amulets, and what is now called New Age spirituality early Mormons were.
Moroni's appearing on the Autumnal Equinox, the waxing and waning moon stones on the Salt Lake Temple, Joseph's Jupiter Talisman, Lucy Mack's Palm reading...this stuff doesn't stop. What say ye?

They have eyes, yet cannot see.
