This new edition of the authoritative The Essential Crystal Handbook
(Duncan Baird 1999) reveals the full power and mystery of these gems,
which can heal our spirits and enhance our lives. More than 100 crystals
are grouped by color and presented individually through color
photography and in-depth discussions of appearance. Descriptions of
individual healing properties and other practical uses are also
included, as well as myths and legends surrounding each stone. There is
also advice on building and maintaining a collection, as well as expert
guidance on crystal healing and meditation, using amulets and
birthstones, and working with crystals aligned to our auras, chakras and
reflexology points.
