5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny!, October 26, 2008

This review is from: Crystal & Gemstone Divination (Paperback)

What a wonderful book!!! Haven't we all wondered what good things the future will bring? What's next for our love life, careers, or health? Well I was, and found Crystal & Gemstone Divination an extraordinarily powerful book to teach the casting of stones and the reading of their messages for me.

I really like the style of writing which is warm and clear, with step by step instructions, beautiful photographs, quick sidebars for fast information, and a glossary. Chapters include the history of gemstone divination, how to make a gemstone bag, each stone's photo and it's properties, and the stones relationship to the Tarot cards. Also, the balancing of your chakra, dreamwork, forecasting, how to conduct readings for others, and much more.

This is such a beautiful and thorough book that I'll be able to use it over and over again as any good reference book. Worth every penny!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea but wrong, November 21, 2010

This review is from: Crystal & Gemstone Divination (Paperback)

The author called various jaspers- "agates". If she does not know which stone is an agate and which is a jasper, I could not go along with her other ideas. Some of her thoughts of the stone's energy did not go with how I felt about it's energy when holding them either. A good concept, but her knowledge of the stones is lacking in my opinion. Sad, really. I returned the book. I recommend Judy Hall's "Crystal User's Handbook" and "The Crystal Bible". Both cover divination and have gorgeous photos. Judy Hall knows her stuff and well.

5.0 out of 5 stars My CBB (Crystal Blessings Book), November 28, 2008

This review is from: Crystal & Gemstone Divination (Paperback)

I purchased "Crystal & Gemstone Divination" from Amazon by Gail Butler. I love it ... super-great. The book is pack-filled with tons of information ... Crystals/gemstones woven with Tarot and other metaphysics ... meditation, chakra, dream, amulets and talismans plus energy work. Ms. Butler is continuously on point with a wealth of information ... stone interpretations, sample readings, etc. I consider this my CBB; Crystal Blessings Book.

The book arrived this week, and I'm all over the pages ... like a kid with a new toy. The photographs are phenomenal; exquisite and true to color. I own many [many] books on crystals and gemstones. This by far is one of the best books in my collection. My only shortfall is that I cannot give this book enough praise ... I keep trying to end this review, but then I'm compelled to explore more previews. This is definitely a WOW book for me!
