Crystals for Beginners: The Guide to Get Started with the Healing Power of Crystals Paperback – October 17, 2017

I have taken this book out of the library so much, that I knew I had to own it. This book is just informative and straightforward. The author comes across as a warm, friendly, super knowledgeable friend sharing what she knows with you. There is no "buy this very expensive one you must!" yada yada yada. Instead, there is look around and find out. Figure out what works for you and go from there.Plus, you'll learn a lot. Do you know what entrainment is? I did not, until I read it here. (Mood contagion, basically). I was not aware that crystals could be grouped by lattice pattern. Orthorhombic is a diamond-shaped pattern, for instance. The concept of piezoelectricity is fascinating. Tetrahedron aka pyramid shape - there's one for trivia night. This book is packed with information and insight.The 'One Stone - Many Names' section will save you money, as will the sections on which crystals will dissolve in water or bleach in the sun. (I haaate going to stores and seeing amethyst and rose quartz in direct sunlight, while their price tag endures unchanged). Being a book nerd with an extensive library, I would say buy a kindle and paper copy of this book with the money that you save, but that's just me.Anyway, to sum it up, this is an ideal beginner's book. It reads very much like my favorite cookbooks where it is both a pleasure to read and a trusted resource.

I was a hot mess express until I found this book. I mean, I was trying to adult and everything, but it was just too much. Then, I discovered the magical world of crystals! And let me tell you, it's been a total game-changer.This book is like the crystal bible for clueless newbies like me. It's got all the basics: what crystals are, how to use them, and which ones will make you look coolest on Instagram (just kidding, kind of).But seriously, this book is amazing. It's like having a crystal guru BFF who holds your hand through the process and explains everything in a way that even a crystal newbie can understand.So, if you're like me and need a little extra help adulting, get this book and some crystals, and you're golden!

Perfect! Very useful and educational.

This is the perfect book for beginners to learn about gemstones/crystals. I'm enjoying each chapter that showcases a particular gemstone including info on its origins and uses in my home. They have a great chapter that tells you which 10 gemstones are the most powerful to help you in your day-to-day life. So glad I purchased this book!

I highly recommend this book. If you're into crystals, then this is the book for you. It's filled with tons of helpful information and guides. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, especially if you love crystals! 💎 It's packed with a treasure chest of insightful information. 📚 🎁 While numerous guides are out there, this one truly shines as one of the best! ⭐ If you're considering getting it, it is an excellent read for anyone interested in crystals, their qualities, and healing propertiesSome of the information presented in this book is inaccurate. I have experience with some crystals, but I didn't have a positive first experience, and I wanted to know about ones especially for my zodiac sign. However, it doesn't take away from its overall value and helpfulness. You can still trust this book and feel confident in its guidance.
