As a crystal enthusiast I was delighted by this book. The pictures are absolutely beautiful, making the book very ecstatically pleasing. The book has three main parts after the introduction, living with crystals, crystal descriptions and using your crystals.
The first part focuses on topics like charging your crystals, buying and selecting them, traveling with them, clearing and programming them, and then it goes more in-depth with descriptions room by room. For each room the author provides suggestions of where you can keep your crystals, the chakra they are associated with, what function they provide to that space, keys stone suggestion and a couple of in-depth descriptions of how these stones can benefit that particular space.
The second section focuses on the description of the stones themselves. This is my favourite part of the book. The one thing I really loved about the way each stone was addressed was that it was short, but right to the point. The author summarized the key points nicely and didn't feel the need to use filler sentences, which i greatly appreciate. For each stone she briefly describes the healing properties, colour and formation, source and history, uses, home space and chakra and body. Making this an excellent book for quickly referencing information.
The third section focuses various ways you can use crystals in your life. Covering topics like meditation, rituals, chakras and body position, reflexology, (I'm surprised Reiki wasn't mentioned) for massage and beauty and crystal grids.
This is a great book for anyone who want a quick reference guide without information overload. This is a book i will be recommending to my clients and will add as a suggested book on my website.

First, I love the title “Crystal Fix.” It makes the book stand out. I did order a copy, so I will have to update my review on the book's quality, as I am now reviewing an eBook.
I enjoyed the high-quality photographs throughout the book; although they could have been smaller, so the book had a larger text. But it gave the reader a clear picture of the 63 crystals being described, making it easier to purchase one. The pictures of the grids are also helpful, especially for a beginner. Crystal care, cleansing, and programming are described in-depth, and I was happy to have found methods I had not used before.
The author teaches you how to use Feng Shui so that you have a good understanding of how to incorporate crystals and their healing powers into your living/work environment. The author includes helpful tips as you go through the book which I found interesting and I look forward to using her suggestions.
The book includes descriptions of 63 well-known crystals, including a picture for each one. It tells you about the properties, color, history, which chakra the crystal is good for, and its healing properties.
When I reached chapter 4, I honestly thought it was missing in the eBook, because it just goes into an index, which looked like the back of a book. I think the layout should have had the problems bolded with larger colored, underlined text, and the pages to find the needed crystals underneath.
I found “Crystal Fix” by Juliette Thornbury to be a useful addition to my crystal library and a great book for future reference.

So this book is pretty good. There is a lot of solid information and a bunch of gorgeous pictures. The quality of pictures and the general layout of the book lead me to think of it as a coffee table type book so that is how I read it. This is not necessarily a book you sit down and read all the way through because that would overload you with information, instead it is there to be consulted when you get new crystals or want to get new crystals. With that angle, I can assure you that the information seems pretty good. There is a lot about what crystals are best for certain rooms in your house as well as a really detailed account of information about each individual crystal. Again all with beautiful pictures. There is also a section on how to use your crystals which I found very interesting. I have docked this book some points for suggesting that you should/could cleanse your crystals by smudging which I cannot endorse unless it is a part of your culture. As a witch, I see that as being a part of a closed culture and thus so not do it, however, you are free to do general smoke cleansing, not smudgings.

This book is absolutely beautiful. The pictures were amazing and I loved learning about how different crystal can change the energy of a room. I personally already have crystals floating around in various places throughout the house, but this book will definitely make me more conscious of where I decide to place them. I enjoyed reading up on crystals that I already own as well as putting a few more on my shopping list. There were a few that I already have that weren't mentioned in the book, but I can understand that if Thornbury were to list all the crystals of the world the book would be much larger. Overall, this is great for anyone looking to incorporate more crystals into their life, specifically into their home.
Thank you to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Juliette Thornbury for the eARC of this book, however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Crystal Fix has great basic crystal info like clearing, shape meanings etc. The section on which crystals work best (and why) in specific rooms was very useful. The “Try This” tips were particularly helpful, quick & easy. The crystals section has a page of information on each crystal including healing properties, general use and how to use it in your home and for your body. The how/where to use it in your home information I found most useful. Chapter 3 shows how to use your crystals in essences, beauty treatments, grids and body layouts. The index of stones by need was by far my favorite section of the book. Here you can look up topics like grief, protection, fertility etc and find a list of stones to help with that particular need. A good book for both beginners and those further along in crystal knowledge.

This book is just beautiful!
The photographs are stunning, and really are the highlight of the book for me.
I like to think I know a lot about crystals already, and I have read A LOT of books on the subject. However, this book looked at the topic of crystals in a different way. I really got something from this book. It has helped me to understand crystals around the home, rather than just the effect they have on me personally.
I was lucky enough to be sent electronic copy of this book for free, in exchange for an honest review, but I have now pre-ordered the hardcopy of this book as I enjoyed it so much!
This book would make a perfect gift, or would be great for beginners to crystals or even those looking to develop their knowledge even further.
Really recommend this!

If you are interested in crystals and their powers then this book will give you a great deal of information regarding the individual crystals and properties. Great photos and descriptions along with the uses and features. The index is an index of need, so it takes you to the best crystal for your need. There is a chapter on how to use crystals and how to place in a grid around the home, fascinating. Well laid out book, very and easy to follow. and read different sections as you are drawn to. Thank you #NetGalley for the book to review.

I loved how this book is structured and how easy it is to navigate, presenting each crystal with some of its properties so you can choose your own...even though the lore says the crystal chooses you, and not the other way around 🌟

I can't say it better than Judy Hall, but I can recommend #theCrystalFix to anyone just starting out on crystals ✨
