- You know, I am the daughter of a craftsman, carpenter,

Gary Delarios.

And he recently retired, and he gave me all his old tools.

And I kind of feel like he's sort of sad that no one's

gonna carry on his legacy.

And sadly, I never really learned any of those skills

'cause I was too busy running around

in the woods with my dogs.

My dad, he's a true craftsman.

I'm more of a crafts...

"man, I should have read that manual" type.

I wanna "Gary on" the legacy.

So today, I'm on the lookout for a fixer upper.

And I'm determined to teach myself

how to refurbish and upcycle something

that would have ended up in the trash.

And I'm gonna make it into something magical,

make my papa proud.

It's a Victorian oil lamp.

You can see the font where the oil would have gone in.

- Look at the chain.

It has little wheels.

- What the chain does is,

the lamp's hanging from the ceiling,

It's a counterbalance.

- Yeah. - The lamp will come down.

You can light the oil lamp.

And then you lower it, and the lamp goes up.

Are you Elizabeth?

- [gasps] Oh, hi.

Yes, I am. Lisa?

- I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- I'm actually Elizabeth.

That's my birth name, but I go by Lisa.

- I love that name. - Yes, right?

It's a great name. - Yeah.

- Well, I have some kind of groovy items.

- All right, let's check out what you got.

So are you aware of what any of this is?

- Rocks?

Gems?

- Well, you're close.

Let's just take a look at this.

This is called orgonite.

- Okay. - So this is man-made.

You've got resin, which kind of brings everything together.

And then you've also got crystals in here as well.

Typically, they use copper, aluminum, sometimes brass.

And that's because they're very conductive.

So the point of orgonite is to move the energy from a room.

- Okay, so we're trying to get energy out of a room.

- Out. Yes, you are.

- Oh, I like that. - Yeah.

So if you're having a bad day, you know,

just some bad vibes, this is gonna do the trick for you.

- Maybe post-breakup?

- Yeah, post-breakup for sure. Yeah.

- Okay, good to know. - Skip the ice cream.

Grab some orgonite. - Or both.

- Or both. Yeah, that works too.

This looks like selenite.

You can tell by the shine on it.

Selenite is a crystal.

What's really cool about selenite

is that it will clear its own energy.

- Oh.

- So all these other crystals

have to be cleared either by sage or moonlight.

That's why they make containers like this out of selenite.

And you put all your crystals in it to clear

the energy of those crystals.

- Oh.

So it not only clears its own energy,

but it clears the energy...

- Of other things. - Of other things.

- Yes, absolutely.

- If only I can fit in that box.

- Yeah, exactly.

- So I guess selenite is like a tool

that refurbishes your soul.

Far out, man.

- Now, what do you have here?

- Jewelry.

- Wow, this is absolutely incredible.

- It is?

- Grab a flashlight here.

This looks like moldavite.

- [gasps] Look how green it is.

- Yeah.

So if you see that coloration there...

- Wow.

- It's a really good indication that we've got

some authentic moldavite here.

And these are really big pieces.

So even though people consider moldavite to be

one of the most powerful crystals out there...

- Oh, is that right?

- It's actually not a crystal.

- Okay.

- It's considered a tektite.

Because 15 million years ago--

right? - [gibbering]

- A meteor hit Southern Germany,

and that's where all of the moldavite comes from--

one location, from one major meteorite.

It's scarce.

It's super rare.

- Ooh, Elizabeth, this is exciting.

Although I'm also curious, what are the powers?

- So people experience some very weird things

when they hold moldavite.

- Oh, I like this.

- Because it is the offspring of meteorite

and meteorite comes from space, a lot of people claim

that it has connection to extraterrestrials.

People have claimed to hold it and get something

called a moldavite flush.

So they'll get super lightheaded

or maybe get a hot flash, or a tingly sensation

across their body.

- Not menopause?

- No. - Moldavite.

- Yeah.

- Okay, okay.

Okay, well,
