I own both editions of this book. It was one of my first reference books/guides and it has continued to be one of my 'go to' sources for a number of years. Both editions are clear, logically categorized and are written for the experienced healer or the newly interested. All will gain knowledge and insight from this extensively researched guide. There are many books and resources available and this is one that I would willingly purchase again.

I have the first edition of this book and it is a favorite of mine, well used! When I heard that a second edition was coming I was excited to see what was new. I was not disappointed! The cross reference sections are great! Whether you have the first edition, or if this is your first introduction to crystals and Kristi Huggins, get this book and you won't be disappointed!

II just love this book!!! When I first got it, I skimmed through it and learned a whole lot just in doing THAT! Then I went back and went a lot slower and now I am hooked... I have a lot of books on crystals by well renowned authors but I must say that this book by Kristi Huggins is by far the most user friendly. S. Skeevert November 2010

Short but easy to locate both the need and the stone. A good supplementary book to healing with stones. L. Casal 04-13-2010

I absolutely love this book... it's amazing and wonderful By itsjustmepaulann Dec. 15, 2009

Found this reference guide to be a quick, easy to use manual when seeking to add an appropriate crystal frequency for a particular purpose - whether physical health, spiritual awakening, or peace and prosperity. Extensive, but light in weight, on more than one occasion this manual was an ideal traveling companion when working with crystal energies. LomL 11-19-2009

I have many books on gems and crystals, and this is the most useful, and it has become my favorite. The other reviews give you lots of details, but if you want a practical, easy to use book, this is it. "Yogi Rita"

I recently started collecting crystals, and now have accrued 17 books on them. I keep ordering them off Amazon (sight unseen) and have been disappointed in most of them. I use Melody's faithfully, but I have been looking for one that had listings. For different things, and which crystals to use for them. She has 3 sections, one for physical problems, one for emotional uses, and one for higher self, and under each one is listed various things with the crystals used for each thing. You don't have to read through a lot of garbage to find which crystals are used, and that is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! (This is not a picture book. The space is used for information. It is beautifully laid out and easy to read (even for aging eyes).) She also has a great, concise section on the chakras, on cleaning and storing crystals, and on the dangers of certain crystals in elixirs (a listing) as well as which ones shouldn't be handled due to toxicity. I am going to buy several more, so that I will have one wherever I need it. I wanted to catalog information because I couldn't find it anywhere in a book, and now I don't have to! Kristi did it for me! Thank you so much, Kristi! This book is a gift and a blessing!
