Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Seshmet.. I have found that by far the best book on crystals for simplicity yet with full coverage of most generally used crystals - The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall. It is smaller than A5 size. features over 200 crystals and illustrates every one without enhancing them to such a degree that they are unrecognisable (as with some other very informative books). It gives attributes, healing and position for use for each crystal - then at the back of the book covers crystal shapes , zodiac association, chakras, aura, bodily correspondencies. It has a little about gem remedies (more simplified than the wonderful Hazel Raven crystal book). Layouts and grids/divinatory meanings. I sell crystals and it is always by my side for reference. Should be around 14.99 but Amazon or ebay will be less. ISBN 1-84181-175-0 (I also love the Crystal Power Crystal Healing by Michael Gienger - but it is not as comprehensive about the individual crystals, is not in alphabetical order, but if you want to know about the formation of minerals and crystals plus mineral content,it goes into some detail on that aspect.) maurita Seshmet <zirafox9 wrote: what book do you recommend the best on pictures and info about crystals, stones and minerals?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Seshmet There are so many books about that have pictures, but most of them only contain the most commonly used crystals. I have found that this website has great pictures of many crystals in different forms http://www.quartznall.co.uk/index.html stef , " Seshmet " <zirafox9 wrote: > > what book do you recommend the best on pictures and info about > crystals, stones and minerals?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Seshmet. There is a supplment to Love is In the Earth that has the pictures only. Pictures aren't that welldone though. Here is exciting news for everyone..... Melody has finished her newbook.... it will be out at the Tucson show 08. It is the main book, plus the suppplements and with pictures. It will be over 1000 pages and be in hardbound. Save your pennies though... it will be around $100.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 This is a popular book.. however please use with caution. There is some mis information in there... when you look at the Ajoite..they are showing a couple of piecs that are NOT ajoite but Chrysocola in Quartz. Also be aware that there is a bit of self advertising in there as well.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 My sense is that some people also have personal issues with Simmons, as I've heard this book knocked a few times without much to back it up, but I think it's a great resource to use in conjunction with other books. Honestly, the archives for this list are the most complete source of info I know of; if you're new around here, take the time to dig around at the actual rachives at the site- Just about everything has been touched on in some way. john wrote: This is a popular book.. however please use with caution.

The best thing you can do is look at the books and see which one(s) feel right to you. Some folks adore Melody, some adore Katrina, etc. .... As with the crystals themselves, the information source is personal and will resonate with you. Blessings to your eve all.
