Do Crystals and Special Jewelry Really Work?

Do these things actually protect you from evil and help you with things? I would think that it's more of a placebo because how can a rock help you feel anything? I'm legit asking what your experiences are, not criticizing.

I believe that 'belief' helps. Shamans used to hide really nasty looking stuff in their mouths, and do all kinds of mumbo jumbo for theatrics, then they would pretend to suck a person disease out through a straw. Then they would spit the awful looking stuff out of their mouths, and the 'patient' would see and believe and get better. Even modern medicine backs up the effectiveness of a placebo, or the power of suggestion. If you believe a crystal will do something somewhat intangible, it will! I mean you're not going to get a crystal to make a steamer trunk full of money fall out of the sky, but it will certainly improve your mood or improve your memory if you truly believe it will.
