This is an amazing Pocket Guide. This author is the premier expert on Crystal Healing. Actual physical and emotional healing. He is not a new age fluff bunny. He is not trademarking common crystals to jack the price up 10,000 times what is reasonable. He is the real deal. He didn't write his books to jump on the bandwagon. He has done the actual research and healings. This is first hand information.
So let me refer to my first statement. This is a Pocket Guide. Meant as quick reference. With a place to check off what you have in your collection, and whether the stone is common, rare or scarce. It also gives you a general run down on the physical and emotional healing properties. Nothing In depth but very precise. Being as this is a small Pocket Guide with info on 550 stones, there is no large pictures, or multiple pictures so you can see raw and tumbled versions etc. but the pictures are color and clear and just perfect for what the book is meant to be. For actual reference and learning, his larger books should be in every library for those who use their crystals for more than "connecting with spirit" and "opening their 3rd eye". Not that those things are not important. But this is the best you will get. If you think one of those new age writers have better info than him, good luck to you.
So for those leaving bad reviews because of the pictures and amount of info, do a little research into what a pocket guide is! There is none better than this one.

How to use this guide
The guide presents and defines the mineralogy and healing effects of crystals in common use, offering concise information on their basic properties. For further information, consult the indicated bibliography as needed. Terms used in the guide are as follows:
Title: the title of each entry gives the name or names of the illustrated crystal. In addition to the mineralogical name, the common or trade name is also used where relevant to define or describe the crystal in question. The scientifically recognised mineralogical names are printed in black, while common names are printed in blue. The titles serve as a suggestion to both gemstone dealers and interested readers of the correct and clear designation of the crystals.
Mineralogy: this gives a brief definition of the mineral with respect to the min- eralogy, especially its crystalline structure and nature of formation (‘prim.’ = molten magma formation, ‘sec.’ = formation through disintegration and de- posits, ‘tert.’ = metamorphic formation under heat and pressure).* In addition to the visible colour, these details are very important for the healing effect and application of a crystal. For further information on their significance, see Mi- chael Gienger’s book Crystal Power, Crystal Healing (Cassell, London, 1998).
Indications: this gives information on the most important healing effects and areas of activity of each crystal, in particular the main properties that charac- terise the crystal and distinguish it from crystals with similar properties. Other healing effects can be found in the indicated bibliography.
(SP) refers to the ‘spirit’ or ‘spiritual aspect’, the innate nature of a person including his or her important intentions, aims and focus in life; (S) refers to the ‘soul’ or the ‘subconscious’, including temperament, emotions, intui- tive perceptions, dreams, psychological experiences, habits and unconscious reactions; (M) refers to ‘mind’ or ‘mental aspects’, including ideas, values, convictions, views as well as the manner of thinking and conscious action; (B) refers to the ‘body’ or ‘physical aspect’, the human organism as a whole with its senses, organs and functions.
Defining these four aspects clearly differentiates what can be influenced, enhanced, changed or cured with the help of the crystals.
* Abbreviations:
prim. = primary sec. = secondary
tert. = tertiary cub. = cubic hex. = hexagonal
trig. = trigonal tetr. = tetragonal rhom. = rhombic
mon. = monoclinic tric. = triclinic
am. = amorphous
Bib.: this refers to comprehensive literature in which the crystal in question, or at least crystals of the same kind or family, is described. The numbers 1 to 21 refer to the bibliography on page 123.
Rarity: this gives an estimate of the availability of the crystal in question. Natu- rally, this is often subject to variation depending on which crystals are collected or mined in which mines or discovery sites at any point in time. As a result, these estimates are never ‘absolute’ – they are only intended to give a clue as to the chances of finding a desired crystal in the shops in the foreseeable future. Also, the availability of a crystal is not always linked to how rare or common it is. Rare crystals that are well known are sometimes more readily available than more common but less known ones. The availability has been individually classified as follows:
Common: means it has been continuously available in large quantities over a long period of time and cut into different forms and shapes. No scarcity of the common shapes or forms is anticipated in the foreseeable future.
Readily available: means it is available most of the time. No major scarcities of particular forms are expected in the future.
Not always available: means not always obtainable. Sometimes there is a scarcity or just a few forms are available in limited quantities. The reserves fluctuate or are limited.
Scarce: means hardly available. There is a frequent scarcity over long periods of time. It is sometimes only available in very few forms. Reserves are very limited.
Rare: means extremely scarce and obtainable only at specific times. For such crystals there is only a minimal reserve, or the known discovery sites are already exhausted or no longer accessible.
This little tick box enables you to make a note of the crystals you have – giving you an overview of crystals in your collection, first aid kit, experiment kit or therapy repertoire.

作者简介
Michael Gienger (1964-2014) was one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he had been active since 1988. He started collecting minerals in 1972, and in 1985 a successful self-treatment with healing crystals inspired him to pursue further training as an alternative healing practitioner. He was trained in shiatsu and completed a two-year apprentice in shamanic healing. He went on to author more than 20 publications, a number of which have become standard works in their field and have been translated into 11 languages. --此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

Very concise information and pocket size! The latter is the best part for me! The information is concise as is the author's style. The pictures are colourful and for the most part the arrangement is easy to go through. Unlike in the previous version of this book (445 Gemstones or so) some of the crystals in a family such as quartz and Gannet family are not all in the same place. As a result you would need to know the many names of the crystal to find it in the book. Unakite - epidote, Kyanite - dithene. ect.
Will buy his books again!

Really excellent work, dovetails more with my own personal experience ...

Really excellent little go to guide on stones. His work is a bit different than most healer's. I have, at some time or other, read all the main books on stones/crystals available over the past ten years. I find that his beliefs/opinions on what this or that stone is capable of enhancing dovetail more than any other crystal healers work with what the various stones 'manifest' for me personally. As this book is translated from German to English, there are occasionally bits that seem to have lost a smidge in translation; but not noticeably enough for me to downgrade the guide to a 4 star. If you generally find that stones don't seem to do quite what the other big crystal books say they do for you, try his work. Different things resonate with different people & I've noticed my friends who normally find this or that stone does not work like 'they' say, look in his books & find that his way of looking at them fits them to a T.

Not happy

Not real happy. There's no index of any kind, so finding anything specific is out of the question. All the stones are pictured tumbled, so don't bother trying to identify raw gems or minerals. What confuses me mostly is all the agates are listed together but the quartz are not. I bought another book at Amazon, published by the Smithsonian, that's much more user friendly. This book is certainly not for the beginner and if I already knew something about healing stones, I wouldn't need this book.
