Crystals And Healing Stones: A Beginners Guide To Crystals Their Uses And Healing Powers (crystal healing,chakra healing mindfulness,meditation healing gemstones) Paperback – Illustrated, March 7, 2015

For what you pay, this book is alright. It does have several previews of the author's other books in the back. The information on each crystal is short, and she only covers a small selection of very popular or powerful crystals. There are no photos, which is a little bit unhelpful. However, my biggest criticism of the book is the clear lack of editing before it was published. The author's wording choices made me wonder if English is her second language. Additionally, there were typos or grammatical errors on almost every page. Even though it's a very inexpensive book, I would say you're better off saving your $2.99 and buying a more comprehensive guide.

Crystals and Healing Stones is a really great introduction to the powers of all natural crystals. My daughters have found a passion for this and I'm just learning. And this book has inspire me to want to learn more!It's informational, well written and offers great insight into the powers with these healing stones.I really enjoyed learning from this book and you will too! Well Done!

For free, and for an absolute novice, it's a good introduction to minerals. There were a few typos. Face it, it's about crystals. I would certainly look up Michele Gilbert's other books to see if she really wants to write an entire book on agates. But if you do Michele, pictures are a must.

Good book

As someone who wanted to brush up on crystal use, and as a writing coach, I believe the writing coach won. Each crystal, with chakra, meditation and carrying effects took up less than one page. I could make a proofreading list where I identify several errors in each paragraph. The author seemed to find complicated word choices when a simpler word would work. There were many typos, formatting, spelling, sentence structure issues, repetition and much more. The biggest concern I had was the author gave no distinctive description of the stones. Without using the full page, there was room to describe the stone and characteristics.I gave it 2 stars as it did meet the quality of a "Beginner's Guide"

Every helpful and informative with identifying crystals and their properties

Only certain crystals were mentioned. I expected section pertaining Ingrid history and uses vs. definitions of a particular crystal.

it was not enough info

20 pages max, would have been better with pictures to see what the stones looks like.

A good book, very simple , easy to read and understand. It helps one chose what is needed Shen dealing with crystals

Very informative easy to read. Covers most crystals. Recommend.
