Book Reviews of Love is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals - The Reference Book Describing the Metaphysical Properties of the Mineral Kingdom
Book Review: Don't be fooled.
Summary: 1 Stars
The one and only place to look for original, real, concrete information on crystals and crystal healing is in Katrina Rapahell's books. Be careful because it is quite dangerous to get information from biased sources as this one.Book Review: The Hidden Meanings
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pretty comprehensive book about the meanings of various stones. Although it is not all-inclusive, it covers far more than most people will ever need. It is the best of this type I have ever seen. There are no photos, but the book describes the stone, it's appearance, color ranges, vibrational numbers, astrological signs and all the stones' properties. More importantly, it goes into significant detail on the health (helps with anxiety, blood pressure, etc.) and metaphysical properties of the stone (assists in clarvoyance, etc.). The book includes precious and semi-precious gemstones (diamond, topaz, peridot), as well as other stones (jasper, etc), even metals, such as gold and silver.
Even if you want to stay on the basic side of life, there are plenty of good energy stones, like rose quartz or amethyst. I recently gave rose quartz to a co-worker who was getting a little too stressed and told him to keep it on his desk. Now, you can "poo poo" me all you want, I see a huge difference. I used to laugh at this stuff too, till I realized I was wrong.
I have friends who cut, polish, and wrap various stones. I like to select a stone (or a combination of stones), have them wrapped, and then look them up in this book to see "why" I bought it/them. Whether you believe that stones possess and carry certain energies or not, you can have fun with this book. Personally, I've found it to be quite educational and revealing.
Update: Dec 2007--I still LOVE this book! I use it all the time. You would be amazed how "right-on-target" it continues to be for me when I look up something. I recently had a co-worker friend stop by and she was wearing a very unique necklace that had obviously been designed for her. To those who are into metaphysics, it had a Japanese symbol on it, overlaid with a triangle, and a special stone in the center. Of course, the symbolism drew my eyes like a magnet and I asked. The stone was alexandrite. Her husband and son had the pendant made for her after her cancer surgery as a token of how much she meant to them. Also, if you don't know it, true alexandrite is VERY expensive. Anyway, I opened the book to alexandrite and handed it to her. I said "read it". She did and she was amazed how well its meaning fell right into place for her.
When I have a pendant made for someone as a gift, I select the stone first. I look up the meaning later and give them a copy of the meaning. It is ALWAYS on target! This book helped open me up to a whole new world--new to me anyway.
Book Review: It's got everything but the picture
Summary: 5 Stars
This is NOT a picture book of rocks and gems. Rather, it is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of everything that is known and believed about the rock or gem by people of various disciplines and power. Psychic, mystic, curious -- whatever the question, it's likely you'll find the answer here. That is, everything but the picture. Still, it's a "must-have" that will not disappoint you.

I have found this book to be a very useful reference source. It covers a large number of crystals and minerals and gives great descriptions and information. A must for anyone interested in Crystals and their healing ablilities.Book Review: Very informative.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives tons of info on crystals, healing, etc., and I am really enjoying it. Originally, I purchaced it for my 9 yr old niece, but quickly discovered that its for one w/ advance knowledge of the subject, so I kept it for myself (certainly no hardship there).
