One of my top three favorites!

This is the same author, title, year published, number of pages but for some reason mine has a different picture on the cover. It is the first book I grab to look up stones. The photographs are gorgeous! I like that the author gives the common "source" of the stones; the astrological association; the chakras; and the healing qualities differentiated for physical and for emotional/spiritual. You can also find a separate section in the back of the book to look up gemstones for physical, emotional or spiritual challenges. He separates the chapters by color, so for someone who is trying to identify a stone, that is a big plus. The newer popular gemstones are also mentioned such as prasiolite and the more uncommonly found ones such as prehnite and pink opal. The only stone I couldn't find was cat's eye which wasn't listed under chrysoberyl. The only downside to this book is that the gemstones are not listed alphabetically even within their color category, so it is necessary to refer to the Index in the back if you're in a hurry to find your stone which is easy enough to do. Overall, I highly recommend this gem of a book.

Wonderful!

I am a Crystal Therapist, so I love to find books that talk about crystals, give detailed descriptions, uses, and other information about them. (I love crystals and stones in general, so another reason why I love finding great books on them) I have several crystal books and I have to say I am most happy I found this book! I ordered it, along with the new edition of The Book Of Stones and have absolutely fell in love. For the size of this book it has a great amount of information, uses, and pictures of crystals and stones. I am very pleased about the pictures; the pictures are somewhat small, but they are nice up-close and clear shots. There is not an example of both the natural and polished stones for each one, but the picture quality is excellent. The book also talks about choosing a pendulum, cleansing stones/crystals, choosing the stones/crystals, and several other topics. Chaper 4 is what I say is one of the best features about this book. It talks about crystal remedies; first it lists different physical ailments and the stones/crystals that would be helpful. Next is remedies for emotional ailments, examples of them and stones/crystals that would be helpful to them. Last there is a section for spiritual enhancement; it lists examples and what stones/crystals would be most helpful to you in regards to it. Out of the other crystal books I have that list remedies, I really love how this book was formatted. Having an entire chapter deticated to various remedies is fantastic. It was easy to read though and also just as easy to find what I was looking for. I really recommend this book and I honestly wish I had found it a lot sooner. If I had found this book right away, I have about two or three other crystal books I wouldn't have purchased!
