4.0 out of 5 stars Good pocket guide for buying healing crystals, March 22, 2006

This review is from: Healing Crystals: The A - Z Guide to 430 Gemstones (Paperback)

I was a bit surprised to see that it's such a small book as I have been spoiled by Judy Hall's Crystal Bible. But I like the fact that this book has photographys of all the crystals listed in the book with short descriptions of the Spiritual, Soul, Mental, Physical aspects or benefits of each crystal.

Though it is not as detailed as Crystal Bible, it is more pocketable when doing your crystal shopping. It'll be handy if the shops do not have their own reference books on crystal healing. It even has some crystals that are not being described by Crystal Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strongly recommended pocket guide, February 14, 2007

This review is from: Healing Crystals: The A - Z Guide to 430 Gemstones (Paperback)

This is one I'm recommending to all my attuned friends: more stones included than in even "The Crystal Bible" (J. Hall) in an even smaller format for easy transport to shops and shows. Very little is lost in the German to English translation, and this book includes clear color photo illustrations. There is information about specific agate markings I haven't found in any of the many other crystal healing books I have reviewed. The only drawbacks to this book are that it does not go into the detail that "Bible" and others do and it does not include information about how to use the stones therapeutically, but this is not the point of the book. The book is an excellent, extensive photo reference with space for the reader to indicate which stones have been collected, not a textbook on healing with stones. It is a worthwhile addition to your library on crystal healing.

Even though the book is small, it is filled with so much information. I love it because it is small enough to keep with me when I am looking for crystals and stones. It is a must have to your collection!
