Are you inspired by the beauty of book covers? The picture here truly does this book justice. When it arrives, the colors are slightly less purple (see scanned picture) and a little more rose and blue, but still inspiring with a mother-of-pearl glossy sheen and silvery iridescent highlights. Unique features include a memento pouch, like an envelope at the back of the book. The pages are also acid-free.

There is a ribbon page marker, but also an elastic band the keep the book closed. This helps to keep the pages safe if you like to carry a book around in your pocket or purse. I can think of many uses for this book including collecting poetry, quotes or writing your most intriguing thoughts.

I'll be using this book to collect essential oil recipes for the bath. I like collecting oils and then figuring out which scents I like best. This is a perfect book with 176 pages that will give me plenty of room to write recipes for perfumes and bath products. Now I have to find a pen worthy of writing in this beautiful book...

~The Rebecca Review

"Gorgeous" does not even begin to describe this journal. The entire line of Paperblanks Intricate Inlays journals are beautiful, and well worth every penny, but "Crystal Flower", in my opinion, is by far the best. I may be biased, though; it jumped out at me while browsing the net for a prayer-book, and, being a devotee of Ishtar, the blue and purple hues and 8 points of the flower called out to me. Just looking at it when it arrived inspired me to write down 3 prayers, all within about 15 minutes. It's durable, hard-cover, lightweight, and absolutely stunning. Perfect.

This design is indeed more "silver-y" than it looks here, but it's lovely. The elastic is a nice touch (though my elastic broke after heavy use over the span of several months).

The covers have 'raised' details, giving them a nice 'feel' and another fun detail. It's a bit shimmery, and just great little books.

They are fairly small, but handy. I wouln't use heavy ink as the pages are a tad thin, but the books do "feel" nice. I plan on purchasing even more in this series.
