As stated in the subject, this is another excellent tool for beginners. Although it isn't my favorite book on crystal healing (I'm partial to the works of Brett Bravo), it is written in a down-to-earth style that is easy to follow and provides loads of information. Very well done.

This book is a wonderful guide to all healers. The introductory chapters are really good for anyone pursuing the healing arts, even though the author chooses minerals as her medium. The models of energy dynamics are unique, and I would not reccomend using all of them, especially together, but it does provide insight into one person's empirically derived model of crystal healing.

Sheldrake includes a directory of crystals that is more extensive than most concise ones, though it is lacking in mineralogical information. Sometimes entries are even lacking in metaphysical information. In addition to the compendium of stones, there is a brief listing of reccomended uses of minerals and combinations for various forms of disease and other associations. This compliments the previous chapter, and it expands the knowledge of healing with minerals.

Also discussed in Sheldrake's The Crystal Healer are crystal tools and establishing oneself as a healer. The book is full of real examples from her own practise, providing a sense of experience and familiarity with the topics covered.
