The Pocket Book Of Stones Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This edition of The Pocket Book of Stones, featuring a handy lay-flat binding, was created in response to demand from readers for a more portable metaphysical crystals guide than the author’s Book of Stones. It is an ideal introduction to stones and their energies for those who are new to the field, as well as being an invaluable reference for well-versed readers. Every entry contains a vivid color photo and quick-look list of keywords, elemental and chakra correspondences, plus the beneficial physical, emotional, and spiritual qualities of each mineral, crystal, or gemstone. Author Simmons also provides a description of each stone, including scientific data and the story of each stone’s spiritual and healing qualities, as well as recommendations for other stones that combine harmoniously with it. The scientific information offered welcomes those not yet familiar with crystal energies by providing a familiar frame of reference and also broadens the knowledge of those who come to stones primarily for spiritual purposes. A comprehensive index cites the healing qualities and emotional and spiritual qualities of all the stones in the book. This affordably priced edition makes an ideal gift for any rock-lover. “There is no one any better, any deeper, and more knowledgeable, and more heart-filled with the Wisdom of Stones than Robert Simmons.”—Robert Sardello, PhD, author of Love and the Soul.

I bought this little pocket book for myself and my granddaughter. I've used Mr. Simmons' full-size books for years and was thrilled to find that he'd come out with this version so I could take it along with me. My granddaughter has a new-found delight in crystals and so it was perfect for her to start with. Of course, it doesn't have all the fine information as the larger volumes, but it's a great reference while treasure hunting!
This book is the perfect size - it would actually fit in a pocket yet it's full of useful information regarding various gemstones and crystals, and presents the material in a very clear manner. The photos are very true-to-life and look as natural gemstones would, so it makes identification very easy. My only reason for not giving it the full five stars is that the product description said the book was bound in a manner so as to lay flat, but the one I received is bound in the regular way, requiring at least one hand to hold it open. Content-wise, though, it's exactly what I wanted.
This book is the perfect size to take when going to rock and gem shows. Very informative and yet convenient to carry. A must have for those who want to carry stones info. with them on their travels.
His info is accurate from my extensive playing . Though the index is a bit jumbled . There appears to have been a disgruntled proof reader .I would be good if Simmo would put out an update AND put a chakra family tree with stones etc . This is what these books really need is a way to organise ones investigation and use of these stones , and index is cumbersome .Perhaps Isolate those stones which are very chakra specific and then suggest 2nd and 3rd order stones that also influence that chakra .Perhaps also male and female specific stones or feminine and masculine . Or perhaps he might put out a companion book called a little book of chakras that can integrate this book more effectively . After all when they all become paper , cross referencing would be a snap.
This is the best quick reference to stones I have found. It gives a quick reference to all the metaphysical properties as well as the scientific properties as well. This book will be a "keeper" for a very long time.
Handy to have with summarised information about each crystal. Have also got the large edition that is my bible as it has a lot of information to help with healing.
This book seems to have a variety of stones listed, however the print is VERY small, so difficult for me to read. I haven't gone through it in detail, mainly because it just arrived today. I am hoping it is close in its breadth to Ms. Hall's books. The size is comfortable, portable, as it is truly a compact book
I liked that it had a large amount of stones listed. I think the only thing that would be better is to have the Physical/Emotional reference guide in the front of the book.That would give you a place to start because there are so many stones out there.
