Customer Reviews

Variety but difficult to search
One of the reasons I got this book was to understand the various properties of the stones and crystals I work with both in my spirituality and in my craft, jewelery. I love the completeness of the descriptions however it does not have an index that allows you to figure out what stones and crystals are associated with the different aspects of life and spirit. This makes it more difficult for me to use this book since i frequently have to read everything tto figure out what I want. I do however, use it when siting a book on the properties. I recommend this book but with understanding of its major flaw.

The Book of Stones
Clear, informative for the beginner and all seaking to understand basic properties and more about crystals

Great Book
I ordered this book for my daughter's boyfriend. He is into crystals and their elements, ect. I did not know that much about it, but I got this book for him and I will admit looking through it, there is so much information and pictures of the stones along with what they mean, where to find them and more. I wish I had bought a copy for myself. I rate this book A+.
