My Thoughts

The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals and Stones is a truly essential book for crystals, gemstones, and minerals. If there is one book that you want to invest in to learn more about crystals, minerals, and stones – this is the book to buy!

The pictures are all in full color and the two page guide to each of the 190 specimens contains all of the information you’ll realistically need to know about each stone. You’ll learn about the color, chakra, planet, number, element, mohs scale, astrological sign, affirmation, spiritual use, mental use, emotional use, physical use, divine guidance, and general information about each stone.

You will also learn about how to choose your crystals, what the shapes and sizes mean of the stones, how to clean and charge your crystals, which gemstones work best for each chakra, how to use the stones in your home, and much more.

I absolutely love this book and have been using it almost daily since I received it. It is the perfect reference book and I have honestly learned so much from it. I highly recommend it.
