>As for the effect of the moon on wells and underground water, i would refer
to certain wells that are said to "ebb and flow" like the tides. The two
that spring to mind are the ebbing and flowing well at Giggleswick in
Yorkshire, and the well at Roche Rock in Cornwall. Unfortunately, the
former is now dry and the latter is a lost site so we can't observe the
phenomenon ourselves at these particular sites.

If the gravitaional pull of the full and new moons causes higher ("spring")
tides, surely it would also increase the rate of flow at springs, and a
subsequently increased flow rate in streams and rivers (not too difficult to
test, this. Any volunteers with access to the necessary equipment?).
Flowing water is a source of energy. Objects placed within the flow would
tend to become energized. At full/new moon when the rate of flow is
(hypothetically) greater, said object would receive more charge.
The question of crystals left in water in moonlight to become charged sounds
like superstitious new-age mumbo-jumbo to me, unless you can demonstrate
(literally or hypothetically) a stream of energy flow which would have a
measurable frequency.
