Essential Crystal Handbook

There are many ways in which crystals can be used to heal our spirit and enhance our lives, from reflexology to colour healing and in many places - from the workplace to the home. The Essential Crystal Handbook begins with a historical overview and an introduction on how to work with crystals, explaining techniques as varied as healing meditation, the use of amulets and birthstones, and how crystals correspond to our auras, chakras and reflexology points. In the second and main section of the book, for each of over 100 crystals, which are arranged according to colour, there is a full-colour photograph, accompanied by descriptive text on each crystal's appearance, healing properties and other practical uses. Crucially the healing properties cover the influence that the crystal has on a spiritual, mental and physical level! Key words identify each crystal so you can pick the stone to suit your needs, whether your purpose is cleansing, soothing or energizing. Learn how to distinguish similar-looking crystals, build up and care for your collection, and discover the myths and legends associated with individual crystals. The Essential Crystal Handbook is the perfect gift for any crystal lover, healer or collector.
