This book is fantastic!! It is a great asset to every collector and lover of stones, gems and metals. I am a novice and found this book to be a wonderful educator. The author uses terms that are clear and easy to follow. It is very informative and descriptive. It has a broad range of information. It has some beautiful photos in the middle that are good for comparison to stones in my own collection. This is a perfect choice to collectors library.
This was a gift for my Niece, and she loves it! I already have one, and I loved mine! It goes over everything you need and want to know, especially for someone who is starting to explore their journey in magick!!! Has a vast variety of knowledge in a great book from a reliable author & teacher - Cunningham!!! I have many of his books, and will continue to buy them as gifts for my loved ones to learn from as well! You should too!

The obvious shortcomings are the small number of stones covered (not at all like the exhaustive volumes by Judy Hall) and lack of 'visual' appeal as each crystal entry is not accompanied by a reference photo (Instead, there are several pages with color photos in the center of the book, rather typical of the books published in that era.). The lack of convenient visual guide may be frustrating to people who are new to crystals and not quite familiar with the names and appearances, but if you are familiar with most of the stones covered in other books, such as Crystal Bible volumes by aforementioned Judy Hall, it is not a problem. I wish I would have had a chance to hear what Scott had to say about some of the newly introduced/discovered crystals and how he would have incorporated them into his practice (He passed away too young...). But for what the book covers, it is rich in details and certainly adds to the knowledge base of anyone who are looking to work with crystals in their magical practice. It is definitely not just another beginner's crystal reference book that rehashes what has been said before. I'm most pleased to have this book to my library.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Everything one needs to understand about working with crystals, simple and direct. Truly an awesome book, and now my favorite author Scott Cunningham.

This is a great companion book for gemologists whos customers wish to know the mystical properties of a stone or meteor. Cunninghams encyclopedia gives full descriptions of the power and attributes of rocks, gemstones, and metals available to the practitioner of magic. The photos in the center are very usefull in identifying common stones used in making medicine bags, amulets, and talismans. If you collect rocks and gems or if you practice magic using stones and meteor then this is the book for you.
