Crystalpedia : the wisdom, history, and the healing power of more than 180 sacred stones
(Book)

Includes index.

Athena Perrakis collects the wisdom, history, and ancient powers of 182 of Earth's most sacred stones. She also shares how being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at thirty-eight set her on a path of self-healing, combining conventional medicine with alternative healing practices to achieve her current symptom-free state. Always a lover of crystals, she sought to maximize their impact on her health, but found that there was no comprehensive A-to-Z guide collecting their history, geology, geometry, and mythology all in one place. That's the book she has now written. Crystalpedia teaches: The history and lineage of each crystal -- Astrological, herbal, and medicinal pairings to increase the power of crystals -- How to align and activate your chakras -- Unique rituals and ceremonial practices with your gemstones. With beautiful illustrations and a photograph of every crystal, Crystalpedia is your ultimate resource for mineral magic.
