This book made me realise that we are raping the earth to mine crystals when found stones and pebbles contain the very minerals we want to use for magic and healing. It explains how to use ordinary stones in a comprehensive and highly readable fashion. It should be compulsory reading for anyone who collects crystals.

That pretty much sums up this one; it is a good point of reference to keep all of us caught in the "crystal craze" in check. It is a reminder that every stone is sacred and that we can effect healing with any member of the mineral kingdom.

This book combines history with the folklore of famous stones and sacred Stone Age sites, along with information regarding selecting stones, caring for them, and working with them. This volume also has a smattering of crystal lore, so it is still a platform for working with crystals, as well. I do reccomend this to others seeking to broaden their horizons while working with crystals, thouse some of the introductory chapters may seem redundant or slow, they are examples of how sacred stones are to humans throughout time.

A delightful book. Well researched and full of insight into the magical properties of healing stones. Sue Phillips is to be congratulated on writing a book on a subject that has beguiled many people over the centuries. Well recommended.
