Healing Crystals is all about truth in advertising. It’s author, Michael Gienger, tells us that this is the A-Z guide to 555 gemstones, and that is exactly what he gives us. It measures 4 1\/2″ by 6 1\/2″. It is small but it is mighty for what it is. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is 117 pages of crystals, giving their names, their mineralogical name, and the common name used, as well as a photo of each. This would be the one complaint; because the book is so small, the photos could be described as tiny. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It, also, lists the healing effects, if any, and the areas which the crystal will affect. It lists a spiritual aspect and a mental aspect, as well as a body aspect.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

F<\/span><\/span>or each crystal, <\/span><\/span>i<\/span><\/span>t will list if it is rare, commonly found and readily available. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is what I would consider a “quick look” guide to crystals. It is small enough to carry with you to crystal shopping, however, for a more in-depth look at crystals, there are other books which give a more comprehensive discussion of the crystal in question.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But, it definitely delivers what it says it will; an A-Z guide to 555 gemstones.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
