I really enjoyed this book.

It was straight to the point, as well as being really informative. I liked the way it was broken down into chapters from basics to more focussed healing ideas and examples. It's not your usual 'crystal a-z' - it is based more on the theme of uses than the names of the crystals. Although it does have a useful index if you do want to just research based on the names. I also really liked the use of tables in order to make the information more concise.

The illustrations in this book are very modern, and simplistic focussing on the pink/white/black colour scheme. I liked this as it was sleek, but think more colours would have been useful especially when referring to crystals and their colour properties.

The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars was the illustrations and the fact that I wish the book was slightly longer.
This is a really useful book for any crystal lover, and is very unique in its layout/format.

I have only recently started to learn about crystals and I found this book to be an invaluable treasure trove of information and help as I start my crystal journey!

It's perfectly laid out taking you through various stages of learning about crystals, their uses, how to clean them etc, and also has practical messages of little things you can do to help yourself with various crystals.

I found the history of crystal healing to be so enlightening, along with learning about the chakras and the advice to use a journal to see how you react with different crystals was something I'd not thought about but will be using!

Towards the back of the book there are some really excellent chapters of which crystal to use for various situations you may find yourself in - emotional healing, help making decisions, help with anxiety, dealing with negativity, protecting yourself - and I think this is a book that I will keep referring back to when needed to find the perfect crystal to help me along the way.

Brilliant for newbies to crystals like me and also full of information that delve a little deeper into the whole healing world of crystals. Highly recommended! I'm off to buy more crystals!!

This is the best crystal book I’ve ever read, really useful, accessible, and informative. The author goes into detail about the history and many uses of crystals, as well as different meanings of colour and shape etc. The front cover is very attractive as well as the general layout and illustrations. I’m always a bit unsure of how to use crystals but this book really makes things clearer. Wonderful!

Thank you Netgalley/Quarto/Fair Winds for my ARC.
