Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read and review this ARC. Full review to be found on Goodreads and on my website.

A beautiful guide using crystal energy in your life. Simple language about their properties and lovely photos.

I selected this title because I wanted to see what all the hype was about surrounding crystals. Although I consider myself to be open minded on alternative healthcare, I had a really hard time wrapping my head around how this is supposed to work. I appreciate the author's work, but this is not a subject I plan to invest more time in.

Whether or not you “believe” in crystals and their healing properties, this book is at least a beautiful representation of their interior design powers. The photography perfectly portrays the pulchritude of the crystals and the copy gives practical information about each. I definitely recommend for crystal admirers new and seasoned.

Interessanter Guide in Sachen Heilsteine mit schönen Fotos. Alles etwas nüchtern und klar gehalten, lernt man neues und altes rund um dieses Thema. Besonders gelungen ist der Abschnitt über die verschiedenen Einsatzbereiche im Haus.

A great book for crystal novices to learn the basics. Filled with practical information and beautiful illustrations.

The Crystal Fix is a practical and informative guide to using crystals for the home and the soul, replete with gorgeous photography. I appreciated the way the crystals have been organised into categories — Joy and Success; Love and Relationships; Health and Wellness; Energy and Inspiration; Rest and Rejuvenation and Protection and Comfort — as well as comprehensive indexes.

All the “usuals” are here, such as rose quartz, clear quartz, amethyst, and fluorite, but they are accompanied by other stones which may not be as well-known, such as larimar, danburite, hemimorphite, vanadinite, and chlorite, amongst others. After a general introduction to crystal shapes, colours, structures, and so on, there is a “home tour” where different crystals are recommended for each room of the house, complete with suggestions for use and placement.

The bulk of the book is a guide to the crystals themselves; each two-page spread matches beautiful photography with a quick guide to each stone, its keywords and healing properties, along with suggestions for combining with other crystals and how you can use them in the home. I enjoyed the bullet-point list of healing properties for quick reference, and the use of keywords for each stone enable fast memorisation. Also included in the book are rituals, crystal grids, essences, meditations, massages, recipes, and tips for crystal selection and care.

Overall, this a beautiful guide to crystals which will delight novices and fans alike. Highly recommended!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher, Quarto/White Lion, through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A beautiful crystal book on how to incorporate your stones into your home. Delving into what crystals work well in what room, how to incorporate rituals and grids for specific home needs and blessings and how to make your crystals work for you with cleansing and programing tips. There's also a small section of stone description and properties to use as reference. This is not a definitive guide to crystals, but if your looking for an esthetically pleasing book that covers the bases and will look great next to your quartz cluster on your coffee table it's a perfect choice!

Thank you Quatro - White Lion Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC.

This was a lovely book to introduce me to crystals and their various use, especially their healing powers. It was informative, enjoyable to read and set out beautifully.

The Crystal Fix is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn more about crystals. Each crystal is beautifully photographed, with all it pertinent details listed such as colour, geographic location, and healing properties. I was most intrigued by learning where each of them can be found and how they were formed. This is followed by a section dedicated to the different uses for crystals in your everyday life. The photos throughout are absolutely stunning! Highly recommended!

Oh my stars, this book. I am new to the world of crystals, though I have found myself drawn to them for many moons. When I found myself wanting to explore this world a bit deeper, I discovered that I didn't really know where to begin or how to start. Enter The Crystal Fix. The book itself was so informative and had such a beautiful energy to it. I learned so very much, mostly due to the author's brilliant ability to write in such an informative, yet readable, way.

Dear Juliette Thornbury,

I am afraid that I now need everything that you shall ever write.

Love,

Your new Super Fan

the crystals section is divided into different areas - joy and success; love and relationships, etc and has the crystals under them. Other information as well and does talk a little bit of crystals in different rooms/areas in your home. Not totally in-depth. More information on the crystal when talking about them.

The Crystal Fix was so beautifully written and photographed. While a bit of the information I already knew, I still found myself learning a lot! The book was a fun read that kept me captivated the entire time and definitely made me even more excited about my crystals. Not to mention, I found a few that I need to add to my shelf! There are also so many wonderful tips for decorating your home as well as ways to look after your crystals.

This is a must have for any crystal lover!

I'm definitely not someone who "believes" in crystals or their healing power but I've always been fascinated by people who do take them seriously. I also find them beautiful and calming pieces of earth art, which I guess does offer some healing properties! This was a well designed book, modern and sleek. It was also surprisingly informative. There is very little "woo" and whole lot of simply laid out information regarding the origin and uses of different crystals. If you wanted to start using crystals in your home as a way to alter its energy and use them in the "right" way, this is your book. For the rest of us, it's a cool look into a world where rocks can heal you. It was a pleasure to read.

This book was absolutely gorgeous and informative. I'm definitely a beginner with crystals and this is the most informative and easy to follow book I have found. I will definitely be using it as a reference frequently!

Exceptionally lovely & useful guide for anyone interested in enjoying crystals. Great for beginners & for collectors as well. Agenda-neutral; appreciation & history prioritized. Great title for gifting, especially to new home buyers. The author’s knowledge & enthusiasm make this title a gem.

This book is an excellent collection of the properties of crystals and ways to utilize them within daily life. I have a good amount of crystals sitting on my bookshelf. Ever since I received this book I have been using my crystals much more in my everyday life. This is mainly because instead of focusing on the metaphysical descriptions of crystals (like the majority of crystal books do), the author brought in ways to utilize crystals within everyday lie, she even goes on to describe how to use crystals in the feng shui of your home.

I really enjoyed the amount of research and care that went into the making of this book. From the beautiful images to the spot-on information I felt this book was a wonderful formulation of information and a great way to get into the world of crystal healing. The author also described her love for crystals as well, this tender and thoughtful care can be seen throughout the rest of the book. Descriptions of how certain crystals were used in ancient times were also included along with the typical metaphysical descriptions. I really enjoyed this and felt that it truly took the book full-circle from the ancient uses of crystals to their modern-day adoption into our everyday culture.

Overall, I felt that this was a wonderful formulation of crystal descriptions and uses. This is unique to any other crystal book that I have read and although it was information-heavy, I read the entire book from cover to cover. It kept me engaged and willing to adopt more information into my repertoire of crystal knowledge.

I would recommend this to: Anyone looking to get into the world of crystal healing or expand their knowledge of crystals

Crystals are one of the latest fads, and you can see them included in a lot of Instagram posts these days. I must admit that I’m not sure myself whether I subscribe to the belief that they can heal, but I do think they’re lovely and fascinating. I also have a citrine cluster and amethyst cluster.

This book is a comprehensive guide to many, many types of crystals. It breaks down their appearance, history, uses, and properties and includes stunning photos. I really liked learning about where they come from and how they’ve been used throughout history. It made for an interesting read, and showed that they’re more than a modern fad. I would suggest reading this book in short bursts because all the info can be a little dry if read in one sitting. Some of the info is also repeated many times.

I liked learning about how crystals are used in meditation and beauty. Who knew crystals had so many uses? Me, after reading this book. She also talks about how to choose which crystals you buy. When I bought my crystals - before I read this book, in case you were curious - I based it off of what I was drawn to. That’s one of the more powerful methods Juliette suggests for choosing crystals.

The photography in the book is a dream for those who love a minimalistic aesthetic. I loved how they suited the simple design and layout of the book perfectly.

I know there’s controversy surrounding the use of smudge sticks, so I kept that in mind while reading. I don’t personally use smugde sticks. But I’m aware that white people using them is considered insulting to the cultures that original used them for spiritual purposes.

The Crystal Fix is a fascinating book about crystals and their uses. I learned a lot, and I valued the information it contained.

This book is great. It's full of useful and detailed information on crystals and how to use them.
The info is easy to find, clear and to the point. I especially liked the grids.
I will definitely refer to it in my every-day life.
Thanks Netgally and the publisher for my copy of The Crystal Fix.

This is a book graced with tranquil photos of assorted crystals, with interesting ways of displaying same and the lore behind the various stones. I enjoyed it very much, and will treasure some of the lore.

I received a free electronic copy of this book on February 1, 2019 from Netgalley, Juliette Thornbury, and Quarto Publishing - White Lion Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for sharing your hard work with me.
