Mechanical stress Memes

Someone claims their hematite ring broke because it "absorbed too much negative energy" from their life, but the skeptical detective at the bottom knows what's up! Hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ) is indeed brittle with a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.5, making it prone to breaking from regular mechanical stress—you know, like wearing it on your finger . The ring didn't absorb your bad vibes; it absorbed the consequences of basic materials science! That's like saying your ice cream melted because it absorbed too many sad thoughts rather than acknowledging thermodynamics exists. Physics: 1, Crystal healing: 0.
