Healing Crystals and Gemstones is a great go-to all purpose informational book on the physical and healing properties of stones. It gives all the pertinent information needed to select and use crystals and gemstones. It's easy to use, has great photos, and is presented in a logical format. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about crystals and gemstones.

This is it the best book for quick reference on gemstones. Their meanings, origins and more. I have many books on gemstones but this one is by far my favorite. Easy reference

The book is broken down into three main parts: The Healing Power of Crystals and Gemstones; The Most Important Gemstones; Your Personal ABC of Crystals and Gemstones. The first part has history and information on how to recognize. Then healing gemstones according to your zodiac sign. Info on colors and chakra. The second section is set up so well. An alphabetical listing of gemstones and crystals. A two page layout of information and facts. No gibberish to read through to find what your looking for. I was a bit disappointed. Its called, "The Most Important Gemstones", but that's left up to opinion. What's important to one isn't always the same to everyone. Some stones that I feel are significant aren't mentioned in the book. The last part is finding the right stone for your ailment. Backache, apply pyrite. Cramp, drink zoisite water. Jasper for lack of energy. But alas, this is only 5 pages. A good book for the beginner's library!!

Perfect book to learn a lot about crystals. From A to Z useful description of history background and healing purposes. Love it.
