This one is pretty info but without pictures it made it hard to identify crystals. I ended up picking up another book with pictures. Otherwise it does hold a lot of information on crystals and gems.

A great and very complete encyclopedia to start learning about stones. Indispensable to have it on hand to be able to know more about the subject as soon as it is needed.
Una muy buena y completa enciclopedia para comenzar a aprender sobre las piedras. Indispensable tenerla a la mano para poder saber más sobre el tema en cuanto haga falta.

Amazing book. Incredibly informative, easy to read, well written in how everything was laid out. I learned a ton and cannot wait to use this information with the stones I now have.

I don't remember what I didn't like, it just didn't stand out in the crowd in comparison to the other books on crystals I've read recently.

Incredible book: easy to read, full of wisdom and knowledge, but also narrated by someone who is enjoyable to listen to. I almost never finish a book in one sitting, but from the moment I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I will be referring to this book for years to come.

This isn’t really a book to read. I read through Parts 1 and the rest is reference material. Interesting though.

A great resource: Cunningham always collects the most interesting folklore and presents it with equal parts playfulness and reverence. I appreciate that this lies firmly in the realm of the magical and doesn't try to make pseudo-scientific claims, like many similar guides do.
