Healing Crystals and Gemstones: From Amethyst to Zircon (Hardcover) by Flora Peschek-Bohmer

Heal yourself with power of crystals and gemstones. Hundreds of vivid color photographs make it easy to identify and distinguish between different varieties. Listing for over 140 stones tell you which stones to use for particular illnesses, how to use them most effectively and how stones relate to the chakra system and the signs of the zodiac.

I think this book is a delightful, even invaluable tool to anybody who is involved in holistic healing, people interested in gemstone healing, Reiki healers, or just those with a curious mind to gemstone powers and abilities. This book is expertly written so that it is not overwhelming to the beginner, but not condescending to the experienced healer. It is such a shame this book is somewhat obscure, because I think that this book is a must have.
