Crystals: |
Welcome to my crystal dictionary. Here you will
find the basic healing and metaphysical properties of crystals and gemstones. The charts
are based on both my published and unpublished work and are a very short precis of what
you'll find in my books. This is not a definitive list but a list of those stones I
believe you will be reasonably able to obtain. There are a few books around these days
with hundreds of different stones in them. What's the point if the crystal or gemstone you
choose is as rare as hen's teeth or costs the earth plus a bit? The majority of the stones
here are easily obtained and affordable in most cases. Bear with me as I continue adding
stones, a few at a time. Please, if you'd like some information about a crystal that doesn't appear either on this page or in the Crystal Archives, feel free to send me an: I'll do my best to help you out by either
sending you my own information or, if I haven't worked with that stone, point you in
another direction. Anyway, I hope you'll find this dictionary fairly easy to navigate. I
welcome any feedback on how it can be improved. Enjoy and have a blessed day!
