mysticism, and the mythology. You've come to the right place for
answers. Dan R. Lynch is a professional geologist and the author of
many books about rocks and minerals. Julie A. Kirsch is a trained
psychologist. Together, they delve into the fascinating study of
crystal healing, and they share their answers with you. The book
begins with an explanation of what crystal healing is, as well as a
simple introduction to the basics of geology/mineralogy. From
there, the book takes a closer look at several of the most popular
methods of crystal healing, such as wearing the crystals or using a
healing crystal grid. That's followed by an examination of the
science and the psychology behind what the crystals are said to do
versus what they have been proven to do. A "field guide" section
spotlights some of the most important minerals to know, including
amethyst and fluorite, presenting the most commonly used crystals
by healing practitioners. The book is rounded out with safety
warnings, recommended resources, and more. It's everything you need
