I found "The Power of Crystals" by Juliet Madison to be a wonderful daily reference book when using crystals for healing. The author includes affirmations, different tips and activities to enhance your connection to your crystals. The books chapters are each specific to a purpose or area of your life you wish to work on. You will find this book to be very helpful for integrating crystals into your everyday life .

Good book about crystals. Very informative. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good read about crystals. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

Good to start off with, just over a dozen topics/areas of life. Don't have to do every single thing - use what you like. How crystals are formed, shapes, Some crystal introductions, and some activities.

I am always looking for something different when it comes to books like this. Even though I have quite a few on crystals, I have nothing like this. I was expecting something that reads more like a dictionary but instead, I got something so much more.

I loved how the author grouped them by the very things that I'm looking at them to use for that specific purpose. Things such as Love, money, positivity, guidance. Add in the pictures and this book has moved its way to the top of my favorites.

I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting something different and better when seeking the special attributes that crystals hold.

This book was received as an ARC from Dover Publications - Ixia Press in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I've heard about crystals and their healing power but never really got into the origin 8th their powers for physical, mental and emotional healing. Juliet Madison does an excellent job describing each crystal and their unique power of healing. One of the things I really liked was how she ended each chapter with an affirmation corresponding to that crystal. It really made it seem like a power transfer through the pages. I know our community will be curious about crystals and I can't wait to share it with them.

We will consider adding this title to our Non-Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This is a beautiful book about using crystals. I thought the structure was excellent as you can dip in based on the area of you life you would like to work on. This way you are not overwhelmed with a dictionary of crystals and finding a suitable one is easy. I loved the stunning pictures and the layout. There is just enough information to provide everything you need. A lovely book for mulling over and dipping into often.

There is so much to love in this harmonious book by Juliet Madison!

First, let me say that this is not a typical “crystal bible” that you’ve probably seen a million times. It does not give you the name of the crystal with (maybe) a photo and then a long list of magical attributes. Instead, the book is arranged by usage such as love, money, physical healing, emotional healing, etc.

It gives you specific needs followed by a list of crystals, affirmations, and activities (spells) or different ways to use the crystals for each purpose.

It was especially detailed in the chakra cleansing and energizing section for a book on crystals and not chakras. It’s more informative in that area, as in many others, than any other crystal book that I have read.

A nice thing is that many of the crystals she mentions in the book have multiple uses. This is helpful for a beginner that can’t go out and spend hundreds of dollars worth of new crystals to do any of the activities. Quartz, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, and Onyx would get you through most of what she suggests.

This was a nice read regarding crystals. It didn’t just explain what each crystal is used for, but delved into using intentions with crystals. Thank you to netgalley for the arc. Hi
