Crystal Keys to Victory: UFC 275

It’s that time again, Co-Mainiacs! 

*dramatic thunder and lightning

IT’S TIME FOR THE STONES!!!

Truth be told, I almost did this entire edition about Jiri Prochazka. No other fighters, just a deep dive into a weirdsmobile. 

A man who meditates: 

A man who has an incense burner, and various other accoutrements: 

A man who plucks lizards from the jungle for no reason:

UFC 275

Jiri Prochazka
Rhyolite

A great stone for meditation. Facilitates change and progress, brings calm when faced with challenges. Assists in fulfilling one’s goals and making one’s dreams come true, clears away self-doubt and replaces it with “I’ve got this”. I know Ben Fowlkes is rooting for ol’ man Glover – I mean, um, seasoned vet Glover – so apologies for my actions in this breakdown. 

Valentina Shevchenko
Azurite

Fortifies long-term career plans, especially in large or very structured organizations. Improves reflexes, releases stress.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk
Ocean Jasper

“Two deadly acts of arson, over a decade apart bind this mystery of an army veteran’s return home. In Chad Dundas’ assured hands, one man’s search for answers makes for a lyrical, riveting meditation on memory.”
