This is a great little book for identifying your crystals, one of the first crystal books I bought and still refer back to it

"The Crystal Bible" is a great comprehensive guide to identifying stones, as well as learning about their unique healing properties.
The full-color photos are a wonderful asset that I was very pleased to see included in the book. I also have "Love Is In The Earth" and while there is a lot of good information, it is difficult to accurately identify your stones without accompanying images.
"The Crystal Bible" is the perfect resource for those interested in learning more about the stones present in their jewelry, or those looking to turn to the Earth for it's bounty of healing properties.

It's been about 40 years since I studied and research gems and crystals, their elemental energies, healing powers, and so forth, so I figured I was a beginner, again.

This book picks up where my teenager "crystal" books left off. It's awesome, it gives me the facts, the myths, and the folk lore, so I learn exactly what I need to know. Thank you for writing this book, Corrine Kenner, available at Llewellyn's.

After first looking into how different cultures use crystel, Susan then gives a detailed explanation of the different chakras. I didn't realize this was such an important part of using crystals. I am most excited in learning how to use crystal to treat my headaches and the book, helps give insight to this. It also covers other common ailments. This was a great guide for learning about different crystals (pictures included!) and the many many different ways you could use them. It's not all about meditation! Very great read.

I have always been fascinated  by gemstones and love buying them as well. But what crystal does what isn't something I knew much about. This book has a great insight about the different kinds of crystals and their healing properties.

This book helps understand how the power of crystals for healing can help lead a better life. It guides us by helping us learn different meditation techniques to live a calmer life. The words are easy to understand and the vocabulary is easy as well.

The book is quite interesting to read and I am sure once you read this you will start buying crystals in a completely different outlook.

I have recently started getting ''into'' crystals, and of course have been searching high and low for information.  I have gotten about 8 books on crystals, and have been rather disappointed in many of them.  This one however, I really love!  It's not a big book, and it's very basic.  But the thing is, it's got all the basics in it!  This is not a book with a bunch of crystals pictured and identified.  This book is one to give you a feel for what you can do with them, what you should do with them, and just lots of basics.  It's got several really great charts in it.  It has got a very basic rundown on many crystals (no pictures) giving a short description and a short list of uses for them.  It has really got a lot of good info packed into a compact but very readable book.  I would recommend this for someone who is interested but not sure HOW interested, or to someone who is starting out and needs some basics.  For people wanting to get into it deeper at all, I totally loved Melanie's book.  GREAT book!  (No pictures though.)  As far as a picture and scientific descriptive book (both of which I would recommend if you are going to get into it deeply), I don't have one I would recommend.  I have the Judy Hall book and the Book of Stones, by Robert Simmons.  I just couldn't recommend either one of them, though I thought they'd both be fantastic.  At this point I think I'm going to order a Field Guide and go with that!  Right now it's looking to me like you have to choose a particular aspect and just get one book that's good on that.  I have not found one that just has everything!

But this book is definitely great for a starter; I am very pleased with it.

Genn's book is something I really loved reading. It is fun, yet full of the basics and much more. She offers insights from her many years of experience that is priceless. The photos and drawings make it so easy to understand some of the structure differences in crystals.  To see these, brings  to us the ability to identify them correctly in the future. I highly recommend this book as a great addition for either a beginner or an "expert", for both learning and just plain fun!

This is a fair book for the first time user. Informational for the user with crystal names and where to use them

What a wonderful resource, this book is concise, vibrant and informative. Easy to refer to different crystals as quick reference but also has great information for a more in depth look into the field of Energy Healing and the treasures of Mother Earth. A must-have for every crystal lover :)

Soo happy I came across Krista's videos on youtube. This book has quickly become a new favorite of mine. I'm new to using crystals and this book offers a wealth of information for beginners. Do yourself a favor and buy the book!

I'm just starting into crystals and gems and I think this is a good set to get for a beginner even though they are slightly smaller than I thought. That said if you big into crystal and just want to add some to your collection, there nice for that too.

I've used this book for years and would not be without it; it is so complete in explanations of each crystal.
