If you can only buy a couple of books, this is one that you need to try and get, used or new.

each stone is described along with the zodiac, energy level and what its energies can help. and what blockages it can clear.

Now this is not a gemnology book. If you are looking for a scientific book on gemstones, you may not like this book. Yes it may tell what the stone is made up of and how it has been created, but it handles mroe the holistic view of the stone and the psychic healing and spirituality of the stone.


I rate this book as 5 stars because it has so helped me in the gemstone work that I do and I just found this book about 2 weeks ago. I will be working with this book alot to help people. any myself

Good luck trying to even FIND any of the minerals listed in this volume! Most of them are so rare and/or worthless that you could not find a seller virtually or otherwise who would sell them. She even lists a form of wax found naturally near petroleum deposits. Here is what she says: Ozokerite; placing the mineral at the feet, there has been a slight grounding effect. Later: Holding the mineral at the solar plexus, a small increase has been noted in the energy in front of the body, with large increases on the sides.

What? Impressive... Like others have said about her first book the "potential" for each stone is often so confusing and out there that it almost seems worth it to just ditch stones and go to a good therapist. I personally love to collect minerals regardless of their healing powers, but find it an interesting area of study, if that is what you can call it. I often wonder what her methodology is in assigning number vibrations, astrological associations, and other forms of new age ideology to the stones. It often seems her claims are based entirely on the obvious. Often citing the name of the stone as being inherently important to it's healing ability. For example serpentine is said to aid in the rise of kundalini or the "serpent" energy. A totally arbitrary assignment, as it is green, and hence earned itself a name associated with animals that are sometimes green in nature. If it was named tortoiseite I highly doubt it would be considered a kundalini energy stone. I also think much is said about kundalini rising, but nothing is said about the amelioration of said activity, in the instance that the user is having such an event but does not want it to be so severe or happen at all.

More overtly optimistic new age foolishness, with little regard for caution both in terms of the safety of the minerals, and their applied usages, whether physiological or metaphysical.


Last but not least I would have liked to see more COMMON mineral combinations and occurrences that I have yet to see anywhere, for example on ebay alone there is a surprising amount of smoky quartz with spessartine garnets from Fujian China. How about a decent segment on Larimar as it is differentiated from pectolite? What about Atlantisite? Quantum Quattro Silica? Ruby and Kyanite? Ruby and Fuchsite? I predict it might just be a repetative amalgamation of those stone combinations with some far out additions that make no sense at all.

It also fails to indicate any kind of "energy" difference between stones of different geographic origin, which I would think is very important.

Again another great book by Melody. A must have for all crystal users. It provides us with more crystal and mineral information not covered in the original. Use it all the time.

I am strictly a novice .. I just like rocks. I was hoping to find a pictorial help in working with the stones .. but for me, the pictures were more of the unique formations vs the more common forms (and totally unfamiliar names) .. and it is strictly pictures. There are no property explanations in this portion of her series.

So I say this is not a book for a novice .. I'm giving it to my Reiki lady, as a supplement to her copy of the Original Print of 'Love is in the Earth' with its property descriptions.

Very technical and not for the beginner however well written, packed with lots of knowledge. For the serious minded.

Amazing book. A good reference manual for all healers. Very precise & in depth.

A great little supplement to the Love is in the Earth series. Nice pictures!

Wow, yet another amazing book from Melody, a fantastic add on to her first book, I take them with me everywhere. The most complete books I've found.

Excellent!!! Full of needed and important information about crystals and their healing properties and metaphysical uses... A must for anyone serious about learning mineral and crystals!!!!

Book arrived in good condition, in a timely manner and at a good price.
