Minerals of the World by Walter Schumann
2nd edition at time of going to press, available from bookstores at £8.99
Famed in stone circles for Gemstones of the World now in its 4th edition, Walter Schumann also produced a lesser known title Minerals of the World currently in its 2nd edition.
The initial 30 pages help to explain the guide and really unless experienced you should read them prior to diving into the main book because the information will certainly help you understand and gain the most from the supplied information. This section includes shapes, crystal systems and even 'twinning' examples in crystals. With explanations on the three methods of testing the book is based around, surface colour and light effects and a final paragraph warning you about synthesised and imitation material.
Crystal Oversoul New Earth Attunements rrp £14.99
by Michael Eastwood.
Be warned that this is a part 2 to the previously available ‘Crystal Oversoul Attunements’, however it can be used independently.
It contains 22 healing cards, book and 2 meditation CD’s.
The pack is glossy and is a nice gate folded box, the card images are graphic generated mandalas obviously using the ‘topic crystal’ as inspiration.
The booklet is a transcribe of the CD’s themselves so you can take time in understanding the messages provided. The authors native language is English so listening to the CD’s we found after a while we could comfortably understand the spoken words without trying too hard.

The Angels & Gemstone Guardians Cards
by Margaret Ann Lembo
Mind Body Spirit shops are awash with card decks, often with comprehensive instructions for involved and sometimes complex layouts, 3 card, 5 card spreads and more.
However Margaret Ann Lembo based in Florida has provided something a little different, instructions are provided but just to shuffle, pick, connect to the gemstone by gazing upon it’s image, then read the text. Which is a combination of identifying
why you selected that gemstone and a message provided to guide you to work with it.

Crystals For Healing And Healers
Crystals For Healing And Healers
by Judy Hall
I have been working with crystals all my life both for healing and scrying. I instinctively
wear one each day, intuitively place several on a client’s birth chart when doing a past life reading to bring about karmic healing - or
on a client if I see them face to face; or I hold one for a few moments to energise it and then send it wherever it is needed. My home always has crystals around because they feel good to me, and many are pro-grammed to help other people, or the world. But it wasn’t until I wrote the first edition of The Crystal Bible ten years ago that I appreciated quite what I’d been intuitively doing for so long, how many crystals there are, and the enormous range of healing possibilities they encompass (and there are now so many more that I’ve had to write volume 2!).
