Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The most extensive mineralogical pictorial published to-date. This 400-paged full-color book beautifully displays the mineral treasures of the earth. Complete with an easy-reference index to all the minerals. Includes an extensive mineralogical pictorial containing color photos of hundreds of minerals with molecular formulae, descriptions, and localities found. As a sequel to her first two books, Love is in the Earth: Kaleidoscope of Crystals and Love is in the Earth: Laying-on-of-Stones, and due to the multitude of requests for photographs of the minerals discussed, this pictorial was complied to illustrate typical examples of mineral specimens available from our Earth

Internationally known, best-selling author of the "Love is in the Earth" series, Melody was born in Cumberland, Maryland, and now resides in the Rocky Mountain region. She is a scientist and holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Art degrees in mathematics. She has been working with stones since she was a child, always evidencing an interest in the geological and mystical properties of these children of the Mother Earth. Due to the desire to share her research and knowledge with her brothers and sisters of the planet, and due to the need to make the information available at the onset of the "Age of Love", she has updated this popular book. In addition to her work within the United States, she has taught crystal workshops in Brazil, the Republic of South Africa, and Australia, and has held private consultations in India and Nepal.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for the serious crystal & gemstone collector., December 29, 1996
By A Customer
This companion volume to Melody's "Love is in the Earth - A Kaleidoscope of Crystals" is a FULL COLOR mineralogical pictoral. If you have wondered what the less common stones look like, wonder no more!!! Each of the crystals & gemstones in the text volume is pictured here, both the rare and the common. Ever wondered what a quartz record keeper looks like? It's in here!! It is the book we've waited for from Melody who never disappoints her readers

5.0 out of 5 stars The Natural Energy of Crystals & Stones for Feng Shui, January 14, 2000
By Donna Huhem (Orange County, So.CA. USA) - See all my reviews
"Love is in the Earth" is an invaluable resource, both quality and amount of info and pics. As a Feng Shui Consultant, I have learned far more about these wonderful beauties, from this book over any other book or classes. Their good, natural energies are available to us, all we have to do is look them up! It is a must have for resource material.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a book of photographs, April 14, 2002
By A Customer
Although nicely photographed, I do not find this book as helpful as I had hoped for the lay person who wants to identify minerals.
Those I know who are experts tend to rate it highly. From the description I had hoped it was a synthesis of Kaleidoscope of Crystals and their photographs. It is not.

I don't regret its purchase, but it is not what I expected.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed in quality of photos
Many of the picts were taken on a dark background, obscuring the details of the crystals. In addition, the images are not zoomed in to depict the details of the stones. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
I own the "Crystal Bible" and was hoping this book would have similar pictures.

I was very disappointed and would be hesitant to buy another pictoral by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little reference
The pictures are good, and text is blessedly absent. Definitely a good pictorial for the amateur collector. There are better, but this one is ok.
