5.0 out of 5 stars Gemstone Therapy, March 23, 2006

By	Christine Fine (Mountlake Terrace, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An excellent book, highly, highly recommended. There's so much we don't know! This book helps shed some light on the unlikely use of stones as medicine. How cool and weird is that. I've tried it for the last couple of years, and it's shocking how effective they are.

I am a layperson, not a gemstone or energy healer, but have always had a great enjoyment of the minerals of our earth. This book, and others from Michael Katz, have been eye opening and enlightening in my learning of the valuable medicinal work the gemstones can provide.

One of the reviewers below complained about the fact that not all the gemstones of the world are listed in this book. For that, there are Crystal Bibles, and indexes, and Melody books etc. Go there if you need to know about them all. This book is not meant to list all the gemstones there are, and doesn't profess to be an encylopedia of minerals. The gemstones, earthstones, riverstones, and oceanstones written about in this book are ones that have been specifically geared and guided to us as the most useful at this time. The gemstones listed in this book have the ability to give us the greatest amount of assistance at this point in our history. And they do.

Read the book if you are interested in the magic that lies within you, and a gemstone's ability to assist you on your path. This book is really for people who would like to grow spiritually, and to grow on their path of healing the physical, emotional and mental bodies. If you want to increase your consciousness, if you want to heal, if you want to become more aware of and help to enlighten and vitalize your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, you will find much of use in this book. When you use the gemstones by applying the wisdom in this book, you will be surprised and amazed that gemstones have the ability to assist us in changing conditions within ourselves. A+++++!!!
Smiles, Chris Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars A breakthrough book, May 20, 2005

By	Cleo T (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

Finally, a book on the therapeutic uses of gemstones that even skeptics can take seriously! I've been a fan of Michael Katz's books for years, and this is his very best. In my long search for meaningful information on gemstones, I've read a fair number of books, most of which have been disappointing. Katz's books never disappoint, and this one is no exception.

Katz provides the first coherent explanation of how and why gemstones can be used as serious tools of energy medicine. He also gives a convincing argument for using gems shaped into spheres. The detailed instructions on how to perform specific therapies go far beyond the usual "put a stone on your brow chakra" vagueness I've found elsewhere. Very impressive.

I've read almost the entire book and found it well-written, user-friendly, and beautifully illustrated (the photographs alone are worth the price). All in all, it's a fascinating, lively read for both the at-home user and the healthcare pro -- a true breakthrough book. I recommend it to anyone who has any interest whatsoever in energy medicine and in gems in particular.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Fascinating, July 28, 2005

By	A. Freeman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been interested in gemstone energy for several years, and this book is appropriate both for someone just beginning to learn about the subject, and for a person who is more familiar with how gemstone healing works. The photographs are gorgeous, and really provide you with a sense of the different types of gems.

The information is presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format, and it is very well-written. If you are interested in working on a certain physical condition (or emotional/psychological issue), this book gives you advice on how to proceed, and which gemstones most benefit a particular problem. It also gives very detailed descriptions of the function of each gem.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in gemstones or other energy-healing subjects. It's perfect for dipping into a bit at a time, or for reading straight through. Educational and inspirational reading!
