The fascinating entries offer explanations of concepts using a straightforward, step-by-step approach, and present theories in their everyday applications.

Great section on the Crystal Systems.Most mineral or mineralogy books spend most of the book on photographs, which is great, but this book focuses on giving the reader the basic understanding to know what they are looking at in the many fine "picture books" already out there about minerals. ...

love it
I can't wait to creat my own necklace using the stones I can personally customize.

Great book for the price
okay, perhaps the authors did make some mistakes.that happens but I was able to look at this book and then buy it, and what encouraged the buying was that it shows both tumbled and raw views of the stones.and that is wonderful since so many stones look different from if they are tumbled or raw.

the photos are large too.I have other books for the information to cross check against,I have books that are both scientific and some that are healing and some that are metaphysical, but so many times they are one view or the other of the stones.

I buy both raw and tumbled so the views of both conditions was a plus for me.

Crystals and Gemstones
Although I'm quite satisfied with the seller of this book, and the condition of it, I was a bit disappointed in the actual content of the book. It was not nearly as comprehensive, in the information for the individual stones, as I was expecting and hoping for. It would be great if you were looking for just a general overview. I was not-I was expecting more in depth information.

Renee
This is an outstanding read.The brief hisory, healing properties, chakra and pictures are absolutely the best.Easy to navigate and my 10 year old is reading it.Simple yet concise.
