From the Publisher
Encyclopedia of Crystals, Revised and Expanded
This book will introduce you to their deepest secrets and their mystical powers. This revised and updated encyclopedia includes 37 of the most exciting finds, including some particularly stunning crystals from the Americas. These crystals have communicated their intention to assist with a dynamic shift of awareness, creating an uplift to a higher frequency for the earth and all those who live upon it. Many of these potent crystals have strong planetary and personal healing properties, others stimulate transformatory and transmutational potential or facilitate multidimensional journeying, and still others ground the new frequencies so that they manifest fully throughout the physical world. Most carry a very high vibration.
Whether you are new to crystal work or an experienced practitioner, within the pages of this book you will find crystals to delight and astound you.
How this book works
To use the book, look up your crystal in the index at the front of the book to find its page number, or identify it from the illustrations (bearing in mind that stones may take different colors and forms). If you need a crystal for a specific purpose, the detailed index at the back of the book will assist you. Finger-dowsing (see page 18) will help you refine your selection to exactly the right stone for you.
Pink and peach crystals
Pink stones carry the essence of unconditional love and resonate with the heart and higher heart chakras and the planet Venus. These comforting stones alleviate anxiety. Excellent emotional healers, they overcome loss, dispel trauma, and promote forgiveness and attunement to universal love. Peach stones are gently energizing, uniting the heart and sacral chakras and combining love with action. Pink and peach stones are ideal for wearing for long periods of time.
Red and orange crystals
Red stones resonate with the base and sacral chakras and the planet Mars, energizing and initiating action. These crystals heighten libido and stimulate creativity. Traditionally, red stones are used to treat hemorrhages and inflammation. Their effect is extremely stimulating and for short-term use. The color of vitality, orange stones resonate with the sacral chakra and the sun. Excellent for stimulating creativity and assertiveness, they have a vibrant yet grounding energy that gets things done.
Yellow, cream, and gold crystals
Yellow crystals work with the solar plexus and the mind, balancing emotion and intellect. Traditionally they were used to cure biliousness, jaundice, and other diseases of the liver, and are excellent for reducing seasonal depression, bringing the warmth of the sun into winter. Gold stones have long been associated with wealth and abundance. Yellow crystals resonate with the intellectual planet Mercury, and both yellow and gold crystals resonate with the sun.
Green crystals
Green stones resonate with the heart chakra and the planet Venus, providing emotional healing and instilling compassion. Traditionally, these stones relieved diseases of the eye and improved vision, as the color mimicked nature and soothed tired eyes.
Green-blue and turquoise crystals
Green-blue and turquoise crystals resonate with higher levels of being. They stimulate spiritual awareness and metaphysical abilities. Many turquoise stones connect to cosmic consciousness, drawing it down to earth, and all instill profound peace and relaxation. These stones work at the third eye, uniting the heart and intuition.
Blue and indigo crystals
Blue stones resonate with the throat chakra and are excellent for self-expression. Traditionally these stones were a tonic— and a symbol of chastity. Reflecting the blue of heaven, they procured the assistance of spirits of light to counteract darkness. Indigo stones link to the highest states of consciousness and to the depths of space. Stimulating intuition and metaphysical abilities, they bring about a mystical perception of the world when placed at the third eye and cohere spiritual identity at the soma chakra.
Purple, lavender, and violet crystals
Purple stones resonate with the crown and higher crown chakras, the planet Jupiter, and multidimensional realities, drawing spiritual energy into the physical plane, and encouraging service to others. Lavender and violet stones have a lighter and finer vibration that links to the highest states of awareness.
Brown crystals
Brown stones are connected with the earth chakra and with cleansing and purifying energies. Grounding and protecting, they absorb noxious substances and induce stability and centeredness. They are traditionally associated with the pragmatic planet Saturn and also resonate with transformative Pluto.
Black, silver, and gray crystals
Black stones are strongly protective because they entrap negative energies, which are then transmuted. They are also excellent detoxifiers. Many silver-gray stones are metallic in origin and were traditionally believed to have alchemical properties of transmutation and invisibility. Black and gray crystals are associated with the planet Saturn, while silver crystals are associated with the moon and with the planet Mercury.
White and colorless crystals
White and colorless stones carry the vibration of pure light, linking to the highest realms of being, and resonate with the higher crown chakra and with the moon. Powerful energizers, they purify and heal the biomagnetic sheath and radiate energy out into the environment.
Combination stones
Combination stones, as might be expected, bring together the qualities of the component crystals, but the whole is greater than its parts. It is as though the stone moves to a higher vibration and becomes more effective. The larger, decorative stones are particularly useful as environmental enhancers, and smaller pieces make excellent healing stones.

Truly an Encyclopedia. I have a couple books from years ago, and while putting together birthday gift for tween, checked options for her gift and a refreshment for myself. Wow – this is impressive – highly recommend.

Great Crystal Guide!!!
This book is perfect for any crystal enthusiasts! I have been diving into crystals for a few years and wanted a book that covered everything about the crystals and had a good selection, not just the basic 12. This book is large, high quality and great picture quality! It has so many crystals I have never even heard of and dives into every aspect of them. From where they are found, how rare they are physical and mystical attributes.I’m pretty confident that if you purchase this book, it will be the only one you need!

A Great Reference Book
The photos are great. The descriptions are very detailed. I was this book on other sites for at least 30% more. I am very pleased with the book – the quality of the reference material – and the price. Highly recommend!

Nice book
I like this book. It has many crystals in it and I love the pictures and most of the information about each crystal. It is a bit large though, I was not expecting it to be as big as it is. They could have compacted it to a smaller size if they did not waste so much space talking about their theories about the crystals.

Fun for all ages
If you are into stones or crystals this is the book to do it all. The best part is it is in color order! If you have a green stone and are not sure what it is, you can look it up. If you are unaware of the healing attributes or facts about the stone it has the clarification for you. This book is fantastic for those who are just starting their journey in crystal or rock identification this book is perfect for you!

Compré este libro porque clasifica los cristales por colores. Lo que no me encantó es que por cada color no vengan en orden alfabético, entonces si quieres buscar un cristal en especÃfico tienes que hacerlo desde el Ãndice (vamos, no es como el diccionario que vas cambiando las páginas y de ir viendo las palabras te ubicas para encontrar lo que buscas). En el libro no encontré que diga cuántos cristales se mencionan, pero a mà me ha sido útil porque me parece que trae bastantes y abarca los más comunes. El libro tiene 287 páginas. Al inicio de cada descripción del cristal se resalta, entre otras cosas, el chakra para el que se recomienda su uso, asà para lo que se recomienda cada cristal en general y luego trae un párrafo breve. La explicación de cada cristal se resume en media página. Es más como de consulta rápida para ver las propiedades de un cristal en general. Para complementar y profundizar compré otro libro que tenÃa significados más detallados (como de una o dos páginas por cristal). Como dije, principalmente me ha servido para identificar los cristales por colores y poder hacer algunas compras de cristales basándome en los colores. La calidad del libro es buena, las hojas son gruesas. Me gustó mucho mi compra.

The organization of the book is very user friendly and the layout and very easy and not over stimulating. Many crystals include what zodiac sign it is connected to, also the number, what Chakra it helps, and planets which is cool! The book is quite large in size but a great addition to any crystal lovers library! There also a whole section on combination stones which I’ve never seen in any other crystal book so that was a cool inclusion.
Katie Jones –
This guide is divided into sections mainly based on colours which link to the chakras, so very useful to see what works on what. It also brings astrology into it as well so saying which astrological signs the crystals are good for.
