Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There are two books that, as a crystal healer, a gemstone jeweler and collector of fine crystals, i feel that I must have in hard copy, instead of a Kindle book. The pictures and some of the writing are excellent and informative, but this author is so commercial that as soon as I find a better book (take a look at Gems of Wisdom and most of Judy Hall's books) with as much relevance to what I do I will change. I do not like that he finds a quartz or agate or whatever on one of his properties and names it something sort of new age sounding (atlantisite, etc.), and puts up the marketing and creates a story about it and lo the price is like diamonds! And although there is a lot of hype about how powerful these stones are, both my husband and I were University professors and we had a certification course for crystal healers, all of whom had a great sensitivity to energies. We did a blind test with ourselves and our students and clients. Not one of us could feel the difference between the Robert Simmons rocks with fancy names and quartz or other things. I do not like that he is a snake oil salesman, when there is so much good that we can all do.
