Not just another book on quartz crystals...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Holy Ice: Bridge to the Subconscious (Paperback)
I remember reading this book when it first came out, and was impressed with it then. Recently, I purchased another copy and was reminded why I liked it so much. Mr. Dorland was a well respected art authenticator with much experience in research techniques. This background served him well, as he lets the reader follow the progress of his initial interest, and eventual in-depth research, into the synergistic effects of, and some techniques and practical uses for active rock quartz crystals.The book starts with his examination into the background, and possible historical uses of the famous Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull, which he studied for six years. He is the one who brought the skull to the Hewlett-Packard lab to be studied. He documented his efforts and observations and it makes interesting reading. This led him to close his successful business and devote his time to researching the historic and traditional uses of electronic quartz crystals. What stands out for me, is how he ties traditional, shamanic / magical practices in with the modern `scientific' usage of quartz in electronic devices, etc. He paints a convincing picture for there being a logical reason, (and not just superstition or placebo effect) why specific types of crystals have consistently been used the world over by `healers and adepts' for augmenting and accelerating the effects of healing, meditative states, etc. If you have an open mind, but don't buy every idea that comes 'from the ethers' as being valid, this book will appeal to you. He makes a good case for all but the most dedicated of skeptics to take another look at how quartz crystals can be useful. For those people who already use crystals or are interested in possible 'metaphysical' properties this is a must read for anyone of rock quartz. You may learn a thing or two.

Excellent! A book on rock crystal from a scientific view...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Holy Ice: Bridge to the Subconscious (Paperback)
Finally an actual book without mumbo jumbo on ROCK CRYSTAL. How to use it and why it works.
I have read it several times and find something new each time.
A touch of Mysticism with alot of fact should be the way a book is written on such an important subject.

This review is from: Holy Ice: Bridge to the Subconscious (Paperback)
Having studied what I can find regarding the Mitchell-Hedges phenomena and countless other applications and manifestations of crystal, this book left me wanting. I suppose I had hoped for some information I wasn't already aware of, and that's the cause of my disappointment.
For those new to the realm of ancient mysteries, the paranormal, politics, subterfuge, and control, this will be a revelation. In conclusion, it's gratifying to have a printed record chronicling some of the hardships undertaken by investigators seeking the truth. Go ahead and buy it, if you find an available copy. You're bound to learn something.
