Nowadays, a great number of stones and crystals are being used for the most wide-ranging of purposes.

All these aspects are described extensively in this authoritative book on the backgrounds and qualities of precious stones. Practically all relevant subjects are discussed: their scientific names, characteristics, history and correspondences with Bachflower remedies.
