Other books on crystals that I love and have in my collection:
This is a small book that fits in a purse or bag. This is great for when you are going to a store to look for crystals.

- Love Is in the Earth - the Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia - the LIITE Fantastic and the Last Testament: The Encyclopedia Describing the Metaphysical and Mineralogical Properties of the Mineral Kingdom by Melody
