Lovely Little Bible
I am delighted with this book. It gives me a good "go-to" guide for most of the stones and crystals in my collection. It has excellent photos, descriptions of color, appearance, rarity, source countries, attributes, healing and positioning suggestions ... as well as any additional information for specific colors of each crystal. Also contains some of the basic information about crystals, how to store, clean, program, use and care for them.
This book covers the more commonly found and most popular stones ... which makes it very useful for any beginner or casual student. The Crystal Bible 2 and The Crystal Bible 3 are also excellent and contain information for less common, rarer and newly identified crystals.
