Within every crystal is a message. Each stone has a story that can teach and heal us if we reflect deeply on its image. Find the right crystals for you and bring their power to life with this elegant, clothbound guide--perfectly sized for your bag or backpack.

The crystals are listed alphabetically, from Ajoite to Zincite, with their dominant power highlighted: Angelic Presence (Amphibole Quartz), Hope (Aquamarine), Release (Banded Agate), Purity (Jade), and Good Fortune (Turquoise), to name just a few.

Each spread is dedicated to a single crystal, with a detailed discussion of its magical qualities and how to harness its powers in meditation and ritual on the right-hand page and a dazzling, full-color photo of the crystal on the left. You'll also find:

• Instructions on how to maintain and bring the power of your crystals to life through purification and activation rituals
• A chakra diagram showing where to position crystals for rebalancing these energy centers
• A glossary of potentially unfamiliar terms
• An index, so you can search for specific stones and also by symptom, condition, illness, associated chakra, and cultural connections
