There have been a lot of crystal books recently, I must admit. Because this one is published by Hay House it is priced for the UK market so it will be extremely good value. If you don’t already have a glossy, full-colour, inspiring crystal reference book, I would thoroughly recommend this one. The author is the founder and CEO of Sage Goddess, the world’s largest source of sacred tools and metaphysical education, so she is an absolute go-to authority on this. She started her quest for knowledge when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and wanted to heal herself the best she could. Stones I think are ideal companions in troubling times because they are solid things that you pick up but also they work on light and energy - you can see this in the way that they refract and reflect the sun’s rays.
