Crystalpedia: The Wisdom, History, and Healing Power of More Than 180 Sacred Stones A Crystal Book

You will have no use for any other crystal book once you have this one. It has the truest / best photos, descriptions and uses I’ve ever seen. It contains the physical aspects (hardness and structure), places of origin, chakra correspondence and a TON of metaphysical information. The book’s author has dedicated her life to identifying and using crystals, has travelled across the world and has been an expert / teacher for many years. I love that this book provides stellar photos of many variations of stones. For example, it provides photos of the Jade family (jadeite, nephrite) - most books only show photos of one variation and the quality of the photos don’t show the true colors. This book shows the true colors, variations, striations, intricacies, details, etc. I also love that this book is beginner and advanced-friendly. So - whether you’re just starting out or already have an abundance of knowledge, this book will be your best friend. You get the science and the metaphysical. In addition to all of this - I love that there is SO MUCH information! It explains which part(s) of the country crystals come from; in the appendix you will learn which stones work well for different scenarios and why (sleep, manifestation, passion. At the beginning of the book you will learn about sourcing and caring for crystals, how to clean them, cleanse them, charge and program them. You will learn about the sacred geometry of crystals as well. And the crystals are all in alphabetical order. BONUS with this book: you can use it as an Oracle!!! Ask a question, flip it to a page and you can read the “magical message for you” portion of the description. FINALLY a book that has it ALL. No more having to reference several different books for the crystal info you may need. This one has it all. This brilliant author hit it out of the park. THANK YOU!!!!

In this book you'll find beautiful photos, detailed information, suggested crystal pairings, and even the astrological connection.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in crystals. Its unique blend of descriptive detail and metaphysical insight, along with high-quality photographs, sets it apart. The book covers the physical aspects, origins, and chakra correspondences of crystals. Author Athena (aka Sage Goddess), a renown crystal expert, offers rich descriptions and vivid images of various stones, including overlooked variations. The book's user-friendly style suits both novices and advanced readers. It covers sourcing, cleaning, charging crystals, and their use in scenarios like sleep and meditation. Athena's expertise as a high priestess, shaman and healer enhances the book's credibility. Its alphabetical organization and inclusion of a 'magical message' for each stone enhances its practicality. With over 350 pages of stunning photography and details on 180 sacred stones, the book is visually appealing and informative, providing historical contexts and applications for each stone. Crystalpedia is more than a reference; it's a guide and inspiration source, making it essential for crystal enthusiasts. In short; this is a must have book for crystal enthusiasts.

If you are a crystal lover at all,, this book is a must have ! With all of the great reference books out there,, yes we all have learned a lot about crystals for many years.. But this one,, is so very different! I pose a question,, How can we really know and understand something without the knowledge of how and where it was created?. Crystalpedia is a 368 page "GEM' that tells you exactly the how and whys of each crystal listed. How and why they came to be,,and what went in to their creation ,,literally from the "ground up". When you need a healing crystal, for instance you now can understand scientifically why it will and can be used for what it was intended, and with the outcome that you can be sure of. I was blown away by this comprehensive guide! You can tell the author , Athena , is genuine about her story and has collected years of heartfelt honest knowledge to write this incredible guide . It's put well put together ,, with gorgeous pictures to allow you to identify your crystals and easily understand everything that you need to know. Crystalpedia also acts as a kind of an oracle guide. Ask a question, and allow your intuition kick in as you flip through the pages and see where you stop,, its amazing what you will find. The knowledge doesn't stop at just crystals,, Chakras, astrology,,,the power of the moon and alot of other magickal subjects are touched upon. I am so grateful that Crystalpedia was available and I will have this throughout my lifetime,, it will be well used and passed on to help others. Thank you Athena! You have a left a footprint on this earth like no other Blessings! Moon Goddess Aurora

Love the history, metaphysic of the gemstones and pleasant to read! Thank you!

Esta lleno de informacion, buen escrito, fotos bonitas. Es uno de los mejores libros sobre este tema.

So happy with this book that i had to come here and write a review. Its perfect for beginners like me. Its has the basic info and history about the crystal but most of the information is how to use them for healing. Also love how it tells you which crystals you can pair with each other.

… this is better Gorgeous cover, very well laid out. Alphabetical listings make it easy to navigate. A good amount of info comes with each entry and the photos are gorgeous. I think this book can sit comfortably with any of the great tomes by Hall, Melody, Simmons et al for now. In a few years I wouldn’t mind an expanded edition 😘

Contiene toda la info q necesitas de los cristales . Tanto en plano físico como energético

Book purchased for my daughter’s friend who loves it. It’s a large book with lots of information, each page focuses on a specific crystal and gives a range of information about it.
