Crystal Guide, Part 1

Judy Hall’s *The Crystal Guide, Volume 1* is a comprehensive reference work for anyone who wants to learn to recognise crystals and understand them better. In this richly illustrated book, you will find descriptions and photographs of more than 200 crystals, with a focus on their appearance, varieties and practical uses.

You can use it as a reference guide when you want to identify a stone, but also as a source of inspiration to expand your collection. The layout helps you to quickly compare stones by colour and shape, making it easier to identify an unknown specimen.

As this is Part 1, it provides a solid foundation that you can build on with Part 2 from the same series. At around 400 pages, it’s not the sort of book you’ll read in one go, but one you’ll find yourself picking up time and again whenever you want to know more about a crystal you come across in a shop, at home or in the countryside. A lovely gift for enthusiasts.
