Title: A great little guide
Product review: This is another wonderful book from one of my favourite authors on crystals. Each entry is clear and concise and includes a small photograph. Information regarding the general composition, formation type, crystal system, and Berzelian grouping are included and may be expanded upon by using this book as an extension of his other work (Crystal Power, Crystal Healing).Many diverse minerals and rocks are included, as well as many different morphologies of the quartz crystal. This is a lovely shopping guide, especially since it includes a small checkbox for marking those pieces which are part of your collection. As always, Gienger includes the most traditional stones, as well as those which are much more exotic and interesting. In addition to all of the mineralogical and spiritual values of the stones, Gienger also approximates a current availability of each entry (i.e.: common, readily available, not readily available, scarce, rare, etc.).
