My favorite Stone Energy book

This is a black and white book with exciting drawings, but with out pictures of actual stones...so if you must have pictures then a good simple good book that I would suggest would be the Illistrated Guide to Crystals , but absolutely no other book that I have come across compares to this book on working with understanding not only the energies of the crystals but of the major paths of "occupations" that crystals work best with. The simplist way I can explain it is that she breaks up the Chackra/colors centers and explains them in a Down to earth way of how we work with them and use certain energies. She explains where you could wear the metal and stone for the best effects, and talks about what stones/metals negate each other, and overall goes in depth on how Crystal/stone/energy effects our subtle energy systems. The thankful thing is that when she includes the healing properties it is very down to earth, where I have seen many metaphysical books (especailly the ever popular Love is the Earth) that are usually very "watery" about any properties going at length about a crystal but not actually giving you a firm idea of what type of energy it actually has while making many claims that seem outlandish or vague. Maya Heath writes it like it is, and after you read a crystals properity you get a general feeling of how you would actually work with a crystal. Also this is the first book that I have ever come across that really mentions some of the negative effects you can have through to much contact with a crystal. The book has much more references that I cannot remember at this time. I recommend this book whole heartedly to anyone interested or working energetically in crystals, stones or metals.
