by The Group of 5

Crystals and A Complete Guide to Their Healing Properties helps readers to incorporate the healing power of stones into daily life. Aimed at both beginners and experts, the book showcases nearly 200 crystals and stones, describing their impact on human beings' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states. The book begins with historical background and practical considerations, such as how stones work and how to clean and recharge their energy. The relationship of stones to chakras is explored, as are practices such as channeling via certain powerful crystals. The heart of the book is an A to Z guide covering everything from amber to zoisite that explains which stones are most effective for particular medical conditions, emotional and energy blockages, and spiritual impasses. Stones and crystals have been important tools for health and spiritual transformation for millennia. This book shows modern readers how to best utilize those tools.

I enjoyed reading this comprehensive guide on gemstones and crystals. It was originally written in French and then translated into English.

Some of the stones that we find in Washington State were not listed as existing in the US. I believe that Serpentine was one of those stones.

This was the first crystal book I ever received many years ago. My copy is chock full of highlights, notes, bookmarks, crystal receipts, etc because it became my most used for a very long time. It's a great starter crystal book.

I find its a bit limited. It's seems to want you to go to one of their practitioner for help. It is useful

Really good overview of what various crystals are capable of. Is limited in the "how" aspect to use the crystals though, especially for a beginner like me.
