Summary: Not the Book for Me
Review: I have been interested in alternative healing techniques for almost thirty years, and in the past three years I've come to focus increasingly on the human energy field and its role in healing, which has led me to investigate chakras, kundalini, and reiki. I'm therefore not a diehard sceptic, and I certainly don't believe that the only reality is the one that Western science thinks it has uncovered. However, I need a cogent basis for what I believe, and as I'm new to crystal healing, I was hoping that this book would provide one. Unfortunately, it doesn't. To be sure, it does contain clear and understandable information about what the author asserts are healing properties of crystals, but it mixes this information with allegations that crystals sometimes materialise out of thin air to those who need them (page 65), and claimes that there are higher life forms working in laboratories deep within the earth to create crystals that they then place in mines in South America just so we can discover them (page 120). the book provides no basis for supposing that crystals can and do heal other than that the author says they do. I'm afraid that, for me, this is not convincing, and I finished the book feeling very dissatisfied,especially as I have bought the other two books in the triology (Crystal Healing, and Crystalline Transformations).

Summary: Precise and understandable may it stay in print forever
Review: I've taught the use of crystals and gemstones for nearly 30 years and this remains the number one recommended book on every reading list I hand out. It's never been improved on and the rest of the competition pales by comparison.

Summary: A layman's guide to crystals
Review: Katrina Raphaell in this book gives the layman an outstanding , and informative description of the crystals, their properties, and how to use them. Her writing is clear and to the point and well executed. I truly believe that her information is channelled from a higher plane. I highly recommend it for those who are starting on the crystal path.Gail Fo

Summary: Very Basic Info
Review: Let me start by saying that Katrina Raphaell is considered one of the top in the field! This book is alot older, so the newer books by other authors appear to have alot more to offer. This is a basic introduction to the entire field with a 10 page chart section. 5 layouts are given. The table of contents gives a superb breakdown of the included stones. If you purchase all 3 of her books, you have a good library. If you have Melody's book already, then just this book alone will leave you disappointed.

Summary: This book is woefuly inadequate
Review: This book goes in two directions. 1. Channeled information about a sub set of stones. 2. The book is more about crystal healing, and has some VERY complex crystal layouts. This book only deals with 40-60 different stones, and you wll not find information about many of the popular stones; such as Chevron Amethyst, Ametrine, Angelite, Blue Quartz, Green Quartz, Labradorite, Moldavite, etc. Personaly I would recommend that you get a copy of "Love Is In The Earth...." by A. Melody. Contact me via E-Mail if you have questions or comments; Two Bears. Wah doh Ogedoda (We give thanks Great Spirit)

Summary: An Enjoyable Read
Review: This is one of the first books I have read about Crystal healings and I hope they all aren't like this. The information on about the healing properties of the crystals is acurate. I found a lot of her other information odd. Such as when she states that a type of crystal is made in secret labritories by higher beings and then placed inside mineral mines. Very interesting thought but not very believable. I don't know why our earth as beautiful as she is can't make her own powerful light sorces with out labritories full of higher beings to do that for her.

Summary: Very informative
Review: This is the first of three books about crystalhealing. It shows in an easy way how to work with crystals and stones for spiritual- and personal evolvement, healing and balance in the everyday of life.
