Do you believe that crystals and minerals have helpful metaphysical powers?

Sure, I believe they have helpful powers Every little natural thing can help, why not use them.

Yes I definitely think so! Because of their internal structure and composition crystals have a healing effect on our energy field (aura). In the holistic view of health many illnesses are caused by negative energy or blockages in the energy field, crystals can help to rebalance these energies.

Most crystal tumblestones can be bought for around £1 each so it's not costly to experiment with them.

Yes. I have learned over the years from a great friend of mine that they do.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
