The first of several in the Love Is In The Earth series, this best-selling title is said to be the most comprehensive volume addressing the metaphysical properties of the mineral kingdom. Updated from the original reference book published in 1991, it is now available throughout the world!

if you are like myself, fasinated by crystals this book will definately aid you in your learning and knowledge. the book, obviously by its size, has details on an array of many crystals, the majority i hope obtainable but some not so obtainable. by this i mean that they are either extremely rare or very expensive.

i wouldnt say that the book is as basic as such books as the crystal bible or books of that kind, but neither would i say it is as mature as the book of stones- (this book is far too advanced for myself at the moment in my quest to be knowledgable on the crystal kingdom!)

within the love is in the earth book there are no accompanying photographs of the crystals, which may put you off purchasing the book. it is simply full of references to crystals which is fine if you have other crystal books or plan to buy the collection of melody books, which apparently do have photos. i myself enjoy looking up a crystal i have purchased so the book so far works well.

the layout of crystal information within the book is usually as follows:

firsly, how the crystal forms and colour range.
followed by how the crystal will aid you.

the first 80 pages of the book explain types of crystals, practical applications of crystals, preparation of crystals and additional definitions, all of which are references you may need to refer back to throughout the crystal catagories.

the book in my view is definately worth buying and a great addition to any collection of books you may wish to acquire in your search for crystal knowledge. obviously, the book is one persons view on the crystal world, which is why i have several books in this field. whether a novice on crystals or a qualified crystal worker i am sure the book would be beneficial to all who use it.
