A FABULOUS BOOK ON CRYSTALS AND STONES!
This little book on crystals and stones is useful and a pleasure to read. As a beginning New Ager from the Wine Country in California, I bought this book and sat down with it right away. I did the grids with my husband and he actually liked them even though he’s a construction worker and totally not into the New Age. He asked me to do them many times now, and each time the grids are more powerful and healing. I have read other Sirona Knight books and each of them is useful and a reading pleasure. She writes an excellent book–and very positive too!

Too big.
This book was way too big to be considered a “pocket guide”. I own a couple of other pocket guide books and they are all the same size, except this one. But the strangest thing about that is, when you open the book there is about 3-4 inches of margin . The text is the same size as the other books, its just printed on way too big of paper. The paper is also notably thin, I can see through the pages. I bought this book on a whim, so I’m not really disappointed and didn’t have any expectations other than I assumed it would be more pocket size like a pocket guide should be. I skimmed the actual content and it does appear to have some great information but I would not purchase it again. If I were looking for a full sized book, I would have purchased one of the million that exist on this topic.

Good to bring when shopping
My grandfather gave me this book for simply that reason. I stuck it in the glove box of my father’s car for some time after reading it, though I grew to rely upon larger texts with more stones very rapidly. As a pocket guide, it is very comprehensive when introducing the different forms of the quartz crystal, and it does introduce a fair amount of gemstones. Some of the geological/mineralogical info is a little off, but otherwise the book isn’t a bad introduction. Knight’s pocket guide also covers topics like crystal grids and gives instructions for creating several layouts.

Very concise guide on Crystals and Gemstones!
When I bought this book, I just expected some really quick information on Crystals nd Gemstones, and I mostly took it as a very “101” book.I was pleasantly surprised by the book’s content, though. It has much advice on choosing, cleansing and using your crystals, and even though I haven’t tried them yet (mainly because I only own an amethyst), the grids look very helpful, complete and trustworthy. The list of crystals and gemstones at the end, although a bit small, is very concise.On top of all that, you’ll end up not only learning how to choose, cleanse and use your crystals for a variety of purposes, but – if you didn’t know them – you’ll also learn about chakras! At least, this was the source I learned which are the chakras, where each one is, and what crystals correspond to each one.This is one of the best books on crystals and gemstones out there, especially if you consider its size! A great book for both beginners and people who already know much about the subject, I highly recommend it!
