That's a load of rubbish. Chalk is not that much better an insulator than any other earth material and if it's damp (which most earth in Britain is) the conductivity of the water it contains will totally outweigh any insulating effect. Quartz will not "build up" charge in the manner you suggest. There is a *small* peizo-electric effect when a single quartz crystal is subjected to mechanical stress, but the agglomerated quartz that is found in most "circle" stone comprises millions of small crystals arranged in a haphazard manner such that if the entire stone is subjected to stress the voltage produced by the individual crystals will cancel out, all but for a few millivolts. As for acting as capacitors, you clearly do not understand the principle, or you would realise that to achieve any substantial effect the conductors have to be very close together, separated by less than millimetric thicknesses of dielectric material. At the spacing of stones in a circle the effect would be miniscule.

You pretend to ask for advice, but when people point out the fallacies in your thinking, you choose to ignore them and continue to spout the same techno-babble. You quote things as though they were fact, but they are complete and utter bullshit. Please stop trying to justify your crazy ideas with science that you do not understand.
