It gives some partially effective forms of meditation and healing, but goes to deep on just one stone and is way to complicated and confusing for the beginner it is made out to be for. It gives long and hard ways to complete simple tasks.

This little book primarily focuses on quartz and it's wonderfull healing applications. The pictures and diagrams are well drawn to better help the reader understand what she'he is working with. I had lots of fun coloring in the pictures with colored pencils as well! Go ahead and buy it, you can't go wrong with this one.

While not what I consider a "classic text" on the subject, this is a very comprehensive introduction to working with the quartz crystal. Its subtleties introduce fewer forms of quartz and other gems in order to focus moreso upon the application of them to our lives. I highly reccomend the book to those searching for an earlier work with a very "New Agey" flair. It leaves out much of the glitz and glamour of the books of the era, however it cannot escape it altogether.

This book does build upon some great earlier works, and it promulgates some very good practices found therein.

When I first bought this book 9 years ago, I was turned off by the immediate New Age, Age of Aquarius and Ancient Civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria feel. The book sat on my shelf for a long time.

This book is not a Beginner's Book. I would suggest this book for an intermediate and advanced student because of the texts and the over complicated meditation techniques outlined.

The second thing to know about this book is that it focuses on the usage of Quartz Crystals. As a focus book on just this one crystal, it covers a lot of good detail and information. Especially when you can set aside that whole New Age, Age of Aquarius and Ancient Civilizations.

Otherwise, it's a decent book, if you're looking to learn about using crystals and their healing energies, this is well worth consideration.

made me get in touch with my inner self and be able to heal myself.
