For the past few years i have searched for a good guide to crystals. I'm not that educated in crystals to know them by just their names - i need pictures. So this last weekend i was with a girl friend, Lisa, in town helping her daughter sell Girl Scout Cookies. Lisa's friend owns a store in the Mall called Rainbow Earth. Awesome, awesome store. I looked around for over an hour and a half, pacing back and forth thru the store taking in everything. The owner Sherri asked if i would assist her and have a crystal reading done by her. She's in the process of creating a "take home crystal reading package", a beginner's crystal reading how-to if you will, anywho, I gladly accept the mission. So i was told to think or speak a question i have on my mind - personally related (meaning i couldnt ask if aliens have ever visited earth, lol) So i decide to think my question. I was then told to draw three crystals from this lil black and purple velvet bag. I stick my hand in and find the ones that are drawn to me, i knew which ones to grab, they were instantly cold underneath my hand. She then interprets my crystals, past, present and future, with a very accurate and informative reading i might add. When she is done she hands me this book called "The Crystal Bible, by Judy Hall" and says that if i like i can look thru there for a more in depth description of each stone. I flipped it open and THERE WERE PICTURES OF EACH STONE!!!! I was so excited. I knew i must have that book. So we began chatting about the book and how she too loves the fact that there are pictures. She also recommeded a book for more advanced individuals called Love Is in the Earth: A Kaleidoscope of Crystals, by Melody. She says advanced, because that book doesnt have pictures.

So in the end i bought that book, and wrote down the other title for a future buy.

I also have this book, and just finished recommending it to GeminiLover75...what a nice coincendence that you also know the joys of this book! It is truely wonderful to find a book that has pictures...my biggest frusteration with crystal books what not having any idea what anything was once I got to the crystal store

There is also an eery parallel between your story and mine...I recently found a crystal shop call "Stone Age" and I asked about good reference books. The two books recommended were Love is in the Earth and The Crystal Bible. I bought the Crystal Bible and decided to keep the other in mind.
