About this book
Robert Simmons condensed decades of crystal knowledge into a portable format, so you can look up a stone the moment you come across it rather than waiting until you get home to a bigger reference. Each of the more than 350 entries includes a photograph alongside notes on the stone's traditional uses and associations, organized so you can flip through quickly without hunting for what you need. It pairs naturally with the more comprehensive The Book of Stones and the beginner-friendly Crystals for Healing, and fits well alongside our crystals collection.

How to use it
Keep it in a bag or pocket and pull it out whenever you are handling a stone you don't recognize, whether at a shop, a market, or your own collection. Look up the stone by name or browse the photographs to find a match, then read the notes on its traditional associations. It works well as a companion to a more detailed reference if you want a portable option for everyday use, and many collectors keep a copy in their car or bag for exactly this reason.
Care & storage
Store the book somewhere dry, and its compact size makes it easy to keep with your stones or in a bag without taking up much space or getting damaged in transit.
