Product Description
The Book of Stones is a new edition of the best-selling guide to some of Earth’s most beautiful natural objects. Two introductory chapters detail the authors’ theories about how to work with crystals and stones—including the concept of crystal resonance and the scientific observation that living organisms (such as ourselves) are liquid crystalline structures. An illuminating alphabetical journey through the mineral kingdom, stone by stone, follows.
Each entry begins with the stone name and photo, plus its elemental and chakra correspondences, as well as keywords that indicate its properties. Next comes a description of the crystal structure, hardness, history, and known locations of each mineral, plus any relevant legend or lore from the past. Each author then offers an essay on the subtle energy properties and spiritual applications of the stone. The entries conclude with summaries of the spiritual, emotional, and physical healing qualities of the stone, and an affirmation for evoking its potential benefits. The book’s presentation is straightforward enough to make it an excellent introduction for beginners, yet the level of detail and the depth of research make it an invaluable resource for the most experienced stone practitioners.

 Love this book ( angeltrails )
I have the first version of this book and find it a good mix of both authors with the full intent to bring out the best in the stones for health, happiness and power.

Excellent! ( ecoblog )
My husband loves this book and uses it as a companion to The Crystal Bible by Hall. There is a lot of information packed in the book and it is very easy to read. There are quite a few pictures if you need help identifying a stone as well. This is a large book and well worth the money we paid.

The best so far! ( myfriendjessi )
I have been working with stones and making jewelry for about 5 years, and have struggled to find a book that covers the physical, geological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of stones. I used to use the Crystal Bible, which is not very complete, and after drudging through Melody's Love is in the Earth for years, I was so overjoyed to find this comprehensive, beautifully illustrated book by two lovely authors. Each stone has a natural crystal formation photograph and a cut stone example, which helps both hardcore rock hounds and jewelers alike. I highly recommend this book as do some of my spiritually minded jeweler sisters! Each author offers their own take on the stone, and between the two, you are bound to resinate with some of the information. There might be a few stones missing here, but frankly I'm tired of Melody making up names for stones that have no picture identification. This book rocks! ;)

THE BOOK OF STONES
The Book of Stones: Who They Are & What They Teach
I bought this book because I already have the first printing of it. This is the updated on. There is a lot more information in this book than the first one. I use it all the time with my stones for a lot of reasons. I cross refreces this one with other ones that I have. Since it is written by two people with basicly very different write ups on each stone. You get two conpleat different look at the stone. There are still a few stones in this book that I don't have. This book is a great one to have, I have quite a few books on stones written for different reasons this is one of those must have books for those who love stones of any kind. The book have wonderful pictures of all the stones, great deal of work when into putting this book together. I enjoy it very much.
