Since time immemorial stones of all shapes and sizes have held a revered and sacred place in all cultures and religions.

Greek mythology refers to them as the bones of the earth mother, cave men used them to fashion their first tools, Egyptians placed them as funerary object, foreign traders traded them as currency and many earlier civilisations wore them as adornment. Religions of all persuasions used them in or as their sacred objects as well as for beatification of scared sites.

Eventually all cultures began to use them in one form or another as building blocks.

 Along the way man began to discover that rocks or shall we say stones of certain classification had special, if not mystical properties for healing and were used by the healers, shamans, priests and many others for their magical properties.

In this book we are not only introduced to the magical properties of rocks and crystals we are taken on a guided tour of the formation(geological) of the elements that gives us a fuller understanding of the minerals as they evolve into a vast array of sacred stones.

Each chapter introduces a differing aspect of formation, history and mystique complete with an exercise to encourage us to use the stones, pebbles or crystals in the correct manner.

Primarily discussing geological formations, stones, pebbles etc in the Northern hemisphere the information translates, generally, globally.

In some ways it is a crash course in geology but in others is comprehensive guidebook to the use and maintenance of sacred stones.
