This is an amazing Pocket Guide
This is an amazing Pocket Guide. This author is the premier expert on Crystal Healing. Actual physical and emotional healing. He is not a new age fluff bunny. He is not trademarking common crystals to jack the price up 10,000 times what is reasonable. He is the real deal. He didn’t write his books to jump on the bandwagon. He has done the actual research and healings. This is first hand information.So let me refer to my first statement. This is a Pocket Guide. Meant as quick reference. With a place to check off what you have in your collection, and whether the stone is common, rare or scarce. It also gives you a general run down on the physical and emotional healing properties. Nothing In depth but very precise. Being as this is a small Pocket Guide with info on 550 stones, there is no large pictures, or multiple pictures so you can see raw and tumbled versions etc. but the pictures are color and clear and just perfect for what the book is meant to be. For actual reference and learning, his larger books should be in every library for those who use their crystals for more than “connecting with spirit” and “opening their 3rd eye”. Not that those things are not important. But this is the best you will get. If you think one of those new age writers have better info than him, good luck to you.So for those leaving bad reviews because of the pictures and amount of info, do a little research into what a pocket guide is! There is none better than this one.

Pocket size!!!
Very concise information and pocket size! The latter is the best part for me! The information is concise as is the author’s style. The pictures are colourful and for the most part the arrangement is easy to go through. Unlike in the previous version of this book (445 Gemstones or so) some of the crystals in a family such as quartz and Gannet family are not all in the same place. As a result you would need to know the many names of the crystal to find it in the book. Unakite – epidote, Kyanite – dithene. ect.Will buy his books again!

Really excellent work, dovetails more with my own personal experience …
Really excellent little go to guide on stones. His work is a bit different than most healer’s. I have, at some time or other, read all the main books on stones/crystals available over the past ten years. I find that his beliefs/opinions on what this or that stone is capable of enhancing dovetail more than any other crystal healers work with what the various stones ‘manifest’ for me personally. As this book is translated from German to English, there are occasionally bits that seem to have lost a smidge in translation; but not noticeably enough for me to downgrade the guide to a 4 star. If you generally find that stones don’t seem to do quite what the other big crystal books say they do for you, try his work. Different things resonate with different people & I’ve noticed my friends who normally find this or that stone does not work like ‘they’ say, look in his books & find that his way of looking at them fits them to a T.

Abridged Descriptions, Exactly What I Need!
This book is exactly what I wanted! Just a reference guide with short descriptions of the healing qualities of crystals to use in the descriptions of my Etsy jewelry listings. I didn’t want to write long paragraphs, which is mostly what I have found, offering way too much information, leaving my head spinning trying to decide what to use and what to leave out in my descriptions. This book narrows it down perfectly, saving me ALOT of precious time and headache! ðððI included a photo of the inside pages because the seller does not in this listing (as of this date) therefore disappointing many people who are expecting more information than this book provides. I hope the photo helps people to better understand what to expect. ðI highly recommend to read the full descriptions of items on Amazon, and look at all the photos. The first sentence in this item description says:”All the important information about 555 healing gemstones in a neat pocket-book!” So, the words, “pocket book” should give one an idea of the dimension size and how limited the information would be.This listing also has a photo showing the book measurement and scale in comparison to one’s hand. If it’s still difficult to envision, I suggest to use a ruler to compare the size to your own hand or find a book of your own to compare the measurements in real life.These are simple, quick steps to save one a lot of time and headache.To the seller, it’s important to include a shot of the inside pages of this book. It would save on a boatload of negative reviews. IJS ð¤·

Couldn’t be better when shopping for crystals!
This is one of my ABSOLUTE GO TO BOOKS! I keep it in my purse when I am searching for crystals at shops and fairs. I can help me tell who knows what they are talking about and who just jumped on the band wagon, since I’ve been collecting for years. The book is small, about the size of a hand, but don’t let it fool you, it has useful information. I especially love how you can check off what crystals you already have!

Laurie Hallett –
the only thing I don’t like about this book is its size (width 4.5 x height 5.5). The crystals are well illustrated and will make a good reference. When I buy a book I usually plan on keeping it so I like to write notations. Not much room for that.
