This book was a very straightforward yet extremely helpful reference guide to both popular and obscure crystals. I liked how each page had a clear photo and the descriptions were bulleted. This is a book I’d use to guide me when purchasing my next crystals based on the emotions I’m feeling, or what I’m going after.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy!

Informative, simple for beginners and those wanting a refresh about key properties, and filled with photo references - a good book for anyone with an interest in crystals and their associated benefits.

This gives insight about selecting crystals, cleansing and charging your pieces, setting intentions, precautions, and provides a lengthy directory filled with an image and various characteristics of 75 different types or crystals. It gives a handy bullet point list of major spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits which makes this quick and easy to follow.

I did think that the focus was a little too much on the energy healing side of things, and I found myself wanting some more concrete facts. For example, there is nothing about where the crystals are commonly mined or how to spot synthetic/fake versions which is pretty important. It also bothered me that some of the pictures are of the raw specimen and others are tumbled smooth. This can be pretty confusing for those wanting to identify crystals on their own. It would have been nice to have 2-3 reference photos for each crystal, especially for things like fluorite that have multiple colour variations.

Overall this is a good book for beginners who want an organised, simple way to discover the healing properties of popular crystals. The title captures exactly what this is - A Quick-Reference Guide to 75 Healing Stones.

A great little companion guide to some basic (and not so basic) crystals for a multitude of uses. I really enjoyed the breakdown of the different types of uses for crystals for each entry, and the daily affirmation included for each. The addition of the zodiacs each crystal was associated with was also very useful. It did take me a minute to realize that the crystals were organized by color rather than alphabetically, but I thought that was a very unique way to layout the book.

Thank you Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the advanced copy of the publication.
This publication is a great reference for those who need a guide to crystals. How they relate in the real world and how to use them in their lives. Recommend to beginners - advanced.

This is a very well done crystal guide! Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Windsfor access to the digital arc. I was impressed right off the bat with the high-quality photos included of each of the crystals. I feel like this title introduce ways to cleanse and charge your crystals better than other titles I’ve read. I also really like how easy to consume each crystal profile was. The pertinent information was broken down into simple terms that anyone could understand. It is always interesting to me to see how Crystal profiles may vary between each guide. I did not find any discrepancies when comparing this title to other crystal guides that I own. A great starting guide!

Very detailed information about what crystals are, how to care for them and the properties 75 individual crystals. A very handy reference guide for beginners and novices who are starting off on their crystal journey or for anyone who easily forgets and needs to look up the information as it's later out very simply.

This is a beautiful crystal reference book full of great photos and information. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This is a great guide to crystals. I eapically loved the fact that each stone had its own section with a bright colorful picture. The description was lovely and the uses well researched.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

Very detailed and easy to navigate book on common crystals. While I read it on my kindle, this is totally a book I would purchase at my local metaphysical store to add to my collection. Great to have as a quick reference on crystal properties.

I received an eARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I know very little when it comes to crystals (I have a few amethysts but i have no practice in how to use them), and this is a pretty little guide for how to get started and what each crystal can help with, including an affirmation. Also the pictures are really pretty. This is a cute companion guide for someone looking to have a guide to crystals.

I’m not sure why I like books about crystals so much, but this is a good directory with photography that is really well done. I like that this book includes instructions for choosing, cleansing, and storing crystals, making it a nice resource for a beginner--though it may be too basic for someone who is already somewhat experienced with crystals.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This will be a wonderful addition to crystal reference/guide. It’s full of information for beginners or just a refresher! It’s laid out beautifully and easy to navigate.

What a gorgeous book. It's easy to go through, to reference, to read (and read in parts.) This is a book I'd be proud to keep out on my table. I appreciate that anyone can pick this up, whether they are drawn to crystals or not, and find something from the book. This is a book I'l preorder to have in my own collection.

This is a beautifully organized and photographed book. I love the way the information is structured -- super easy to read and use, and it will be easy to reference as needed. The photographs are beautiful, and the art design is really well done on them. They provide good exemplars of the crystals that will help in identifying them within my collection. The information is good, and I also appreciate that it is succinct and easy to follow. Sometimes books on this topic can be unnecessarily wordy and dense, but this is very reader friendly. Just lovely all around!
