Crystals Made Simple: a Review of "The Crystal Handbook"
Finally, I pulled a small mass market paperback from the shelf. It was "The Crystal Handbook," by Kevin Sullivan, and what a wonderful little book it was.
"The Crystal Handbook" has a little bit of everything for those interested in crystals. What the handbook is, essentially, is a small encyclopedia of crystals with a great deal of related information.
The encyclopedic section of the is an alphabetical listing of crystals. From familiar stones such as the opal, to less commonly heard of crystals such as chrysocolla, each page has a wealth of information on the stone's properties, uses, origin, and sometimes even folklore surrounding the stone. Each blurb is interesting as well as informative.
Beyond the encyclopedia, "The Crystal Handbook" offers up chapters on subjects such as choosing a crystal, body work with crystals, and even a chapter on pets and crystals. With an easy to follow writing style, Kevin Sullivan makes the information accessible and understandable.
The handbook also includes charts for quick reference, which I find particularly handy. There are charts that list stones by color, zodiacal affinity, along with charts that recommend crystals based on criteria such as profession. There's also a glossary.
What's nice about "The Crystal Handbook" is its size. Small enough to tuck into a pocketbook, it's perfect for someone who's looking for a book to keep along with them as a reference when shopping for crystals.
Of course, the validity of a book such as "The Crystal Handbook" relies a great deal on each individual's unique belief system. "The Crystal Handbook" is not, by any means, going to convince a skeptic that crystal healing is for real and send them scurrying for the nearest crystal shop. But for those interested in researching or reading up on the subject, or for those who believe in crystals, this is a great little book.
