Love this book Wonderful book with alot of info. Great photos that help to identify stones. Very well written. Will make a great book for my book collection.
Great Service The book is in excellent shape! I was very impressed with the quality of the product I bought. I was also very impressed with the shipping time. It was here in no time. I will shop with this person and company again.
it's ok...but not the best organizes by the primary color the crystals are found (some have different colrs/forms), so that's helpful; like that it give a brief historical description before telling you everything else.... tells you lots and almost every possible use of each crystal: divinatory, healing, around home/work, around kids, around animals/pets, protective function, psychic function, environmental, any special properties (if any), ways to recharge it, and even brief table of symbolic associations (plant/herb, zodiac, chakra, planet, element, etc) and a short table on the types there are and the colors that you can find has good pictures only problem is that it wasn't quite what i was hoping for....but luckily i bought two other crystal/gemstone books when i got this one just to have a better reference library; is good for a fast look up of something if your in a hurry; just a little too new age for my liking, but still a nice book to have.....only get this if you are really new age or you get it w/ another crystal/gemstone book (i'd go for either The Crystal Bible or Healing Crystals and Gemstones; i got these at same time and both are really nice; Crystal Bible is great size for if you want something when you travel and had a bit of everything... Healing Crystals has scientific info in it too: mohs hardness scale, composition, etc...)
