Perrakis delivers a robust A-to-Z compendium that successfully merges mineralogical facts with esoteric lore, making it a versatile tool for various levels of interest. The inclusion of geological data adds a layer of credibility often missing in purely mystical texts.

It is not suitable for readers who prefer singular, dogmatic approaches to crystal energy without interdisciplinary context. Nevertheless, for anyone wanting a balanced, well-researched overview of how stones influence energy, this volume stands out as a comprehensive and respectful guide.

Very good

Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.

Exceeded expectations

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.

Worth every penny

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Already eyeing my next order.
