Crystals demystified-1 ( japjoss )
Before buying this book and reading it with great care, for me crystals were mythic objects.
Now, after reading and rereading this book and visiting several shops, specialised in showing and selling crystals, I enjoyed viewing all those marvellous children of vulcanous processes.
Before buying them and using some of them, I need to study more.
This encyclopedia for me is a very precious book and the worth of it is much larger than its price.

 Very good basic book of Crystals ( cermakr )
Got this one for me and the "Book of Stones" for my GF. This one is a very good basic book on Crystals and their properties.

Beautiful
This book has some very beautiful pictures, although some of them are not going to be easy for you to identify your stone with. This book is a basic must have, lot's of information. Has a small introduction, but it is just simply to the point.

 terrible book ( two_bears )
As you know I LOVE crystals, and enjoy using the metaphysical properties of Crystals for my and others benefit.
I LOVE and recommend the following books
"Love Is In The Earth: A Kaleidoscope Of Crystals" A. Melody
"The Crystal Bible" Judy Hall
"The Crystal Handbook" Kevin Sullivan
These books are listed in the order that I recommend them.
This review is about "The Encyclopedia Of Crystals"
I will NEVER recommend this book because of the following reasons.
1. This book is BIG and unwieldy for me 8 1/2 by 11 inch footprint.
2. This time she decided to categorize the crystals by COLOR instead of alphabetically. This makes it difficult to find the crystal you are looking for.
3. Some of the information is plain wrong especially the moh's hardness rating for some of the stones.
4. Many of the pictures in this book are very poor in quality.
In my personal opinion she should have released an updated version of "The Crystal Bible" that had information on new stones not covered in the earlier version.
I disliked this book so much I actually gave it away.
Overall rating 1 star. "SAVE YOUR MONEY!"

 Questionable Pictures Sometimes ( jessicamarie_books_for_sale )
This is overall a very good crystal and gemstone book. Much of the information meshes well with Melody's books and I like that they identify which chakras each stone works well with. It's easy to navigate and designed well. However, some of the images that they chose to represent the stones are really not good, in fact, some of them barely look like any specimen I've ever seen of the stone and are not good for identification at all.
