THE book about stones!
This is not just a book of stones! Please dont judge this book by its cover either this is a very exciting and interesting look at many well known and newly discovered crystals. If you thought The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall was all you ever needed then think again. This is one big book that covers many crystals that do not make it into other books. As with all good crystal books an alphabetical index is at the beginning of the book. Each crystal has a colour photo and a short summary of its properties for quick reference. Also listed are the element associated with the stone plus the chakras it opens and heals which is very useful information.
Robert Simmons starts with some scientific information plus its origin then some interesting information on the stones discovery and history. The articles are in depth exploring the stone on all levels from self work to healing others and a second author gives her take on each stone adding to this wealth of information based on the authors experiences of the stones energy. This really is a metaphysical encyclopedia and will have you hunting out some of these new stones which many believe have been discovered for our own spiritual evolution. This is a must for crystal collectors and healers.
Some of the more exotic high frequency stones you can learn about are: Aqua Lemuria, Merkabite, Ohio Celestite, Fairy Wand Quartz, Gaia Stone, Lemurian Seed, Lemurian Midnight Jade, Nuummite, Pink Lazurine, Shiva Lingum, Tibetan Black Quartz.
Fascinating
An amazing book describing over 300 crystals with brilliant illustrations; a book you can't resist reading and refering to again and again!
A must for all crystal lovers and better than any other book on crystals I have read - more detailed and more exciting. An essential book to have if you want to expand your knowledge of the crystal kingdom.
Wonderful book but frustratingly no index..............
I had owned the 'The Crystal Bible' by Judy Hall for about a year and although I loved it I felt I needed more, so I brought this book based on the two previous reviews.
I was intially disappointed with it, the layout of the book is not as slick as the 'The Crystal Bible.' This book is simply not easy to use as a reference book, there is no index at the back of the book, so if you're interested in say stones that aid diabetes, telepathy or whatever you have to read the entire the book and make notes, and this will need to be repeat for everything you are interested in. The description of each stone are detailed by the two main authors, and although there is little direct repetition it means there is alot of information to get through!!!
In fact I have had to read the entire book several times, and when I see text that I find interesting I underline it and then construct my own index! This is the only book I've ever written in!!
The result is a hard read but worth it in the end! It's just so frustrating it could be so much better by something so simple.
