Praise for The Book of Stones
“The Book of Stones is filled with information and with beauty.”
-Melody, author of Love is in the Earth

-Robert Sardello, PhD, author of Love and the World and Silence
“This beautiful and unusual work opened a new and unknown world to me, right under my feet – a realm of qualities and possibilities of which I had known nothing and for which I am the richer.”
-Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, The Biology of Transcendence, and The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit
“The Book of Stones has elevated the spiritual knowledge of crytals into a higher form. The classification of each stone is impeccable, along with wonderful photos – creating an intimate connection with a wide variety of minerals. This book offers us all an opportunity to sharpen our skills and renew our interest in the crystal healing world.”
-Dr. Eric Pearl, author of the international bestseller The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself
“In this time of social fragmentation and isolation, many of us who work to reclaim remembrance and participation in the living world lament the scarcity of elders and initiators to guide our efforts. As if in answer to our need, The Book of Stones carries us outside the human world to a gathering of wise elders. Here the stone people speak to us, in many voices, of forgotten stories and unknown wisdoms that will sustain us on the path of soul.”
-Daniel Deardorff, author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, & Psyche
“The Book of Stones takes the reader on a fascinating journey. The writing is clear, thoughtful, and easily understood, and the inclusion of scientific data, history, and folklore helps make the book a valuable resource for all those interested in the mineral kingdom.”
-Thom Hartmann, author of The Prophet’s Way and The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight
