Explore the power, properties and pricing of crystals
In this unique examination of crystalline types of minerals, esteemed rock, gem, crystal and mineral expert Patti Polk presents information about various elements of crystals. In the introduction to The Crystal Guide, Polk states her intention being "...to bridge the worlds between the more traditional, scientific aspects of mineral collecting as display or academic specimens with the more informal nature of how minerals, crystals in particular, are used in other, more holistic, ways."
Whether scientific interest drives your fascination with crystals, a desire to learn more about the healing, centering and other metaphysical practices related to crystals, or simply being open to learning more about both aspects of crystals, this book is for you. You'll find chapters about the act of collecting crystals and understanding the geological formations where crystals often exist. Also within these chapters you'll access insightful graphs of information regarding:
