I like this little book even though it isn't terribly in depth. It is one of the few books that I have found that pulls together the chakras and stones so succinctly.

It's set up in chapters, each devoted to one of the chakras, and in each chapter it briefly describes the many aspects of the chakra, covering everything from the mandala that is associated with it, to the colors, crystals and chants.

I definately think that it is of value to any esoteric's book collection.

Joy Gardner was definitely ahead of her time! This book is the most complete chakra and color resource I have ever found. As a bookstore owner, many books come my way. This is one of the greatest.

I loved the book... was dissapointed in that she left out many stones I have read about in other books.. so is somewhat limited
good descriptions though...
easy to read...
flows good..
definatly a must for the person who is studying crystal healing or thinking about it.

This is still one of the best foundation books for getting a basic understanding of Color, crystals and the chakras. This was the first book on crystal healing that I ever got over a decade ago.
Its not flashy, it does not try to cover everything, what it does cover it covers very well. It is a small book but adresses the basics in a clear useful way.

This is a book that any beginner would love to own. It's richness does not come from a wide variety of minerals included; rather, it comes from the joy that the author pours into it, as well as her numerous accounts of acutally working with the techniques and tips contained herein.

Color and Crystals is an excellent resource that combines a good working knowledge of the chakras, with information about toning, crystals, healing with colour, kundalini, and more. The author has studied numerous complementary and alternative modalities, and this concise volume relfects her passion for the healing arts.

Techniques for rebalancing, recognizing over and underactive chakras, working with quartz crystals and other stones, and colour therapies are present in Joy's book, as well as experiments, a reccomended basic healing kit, and helpful insight about the healing process overall. Basic though it may be, it is a nice way to revisit many things that even practiced healers take for granted.
