Crystal Books

There have been a lot of excellent new crystal books published in the last couple of years, and while I can't buy them all, I endeavor to keep up with the ones written by popular authors.  

I love the latest book from Cassandra Eason, The Complete Crystal Bible and it features many of the more common and less common stones.

The Book Of Stones has a new edition. It was recently updated and I was happy to discover that there are quite a few new stones included. 

Of the more recent books, in particular I can recommend quite a few books written by Judy Hall, including Crystal Bible Three.

This is similar to the other Crystal Bible books, but the stones here are less common or in some cases even rare crystals.

Another one of Judy Hall's books is on a very interesting topic. Its name is Crystals and Sacred Sites, Use Crystals to Access the Power of Sacred Landscapes, and you discover information about many extraordinary places and the powerful stones that originate from these areas.
