It's a great bridge to other fields of knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in stones, and alternative healing. It's hard bound, and I like that each stone has a picture associated with it.
It also has a section on the zodiac, and which stones work well for each sign and why, and is a very good introduction to stone work for chakra healing. It gives the history of the stone, healing properties, and magical properties. I use this book often as a reference for my jewelry designs, that I make and sell online for the purpose of alternative healing. It's hard bound, and I like that each Great book for identifying gemstones and crystals, as well as for learning about how they affect us.
Great book for identifying gemstones and crystals, as well as for learning about how they affect us. It is pretty much impossible to memorize every stone and its properties in the book, so even for people who aren't new at this practice, it is a good resource to have on your bookshelf.more It is, as previously stated, however, an excellent resource, both for beginners and for seasoned practitioners.

My only problems with the book are that (a) it is very exhausting (but, in all fairness, it is essentially a textbook so is probably not really intended to be read cover to cover) and (b) it is poorly edited, as it is practically full of errors, mostly in the form of typos. If, like me, you are a newcomer to studying stones, then this book is a great beginner's guide for you, as it takes you through more than 100 important stones and details their chemical compositions, where they come from, their histories, their healing and magical properties, and so forth, and what is perhaps the best part is that provided for each stone are beautiful color photographs.
