★★☆☆☆
This is NOT a tarot/ litho divination deck.
Disappointing, and poorly printed. I wish the description had included photos of the front and back of the cards (I'm including back of card photos in my review, so that others can know what they'll be buying).
I'm very put off by the text on the back of the cards. The copy was very trendy, and a bit rude... like reading a txt message from a teenager (Sorry, Andrew Smart- copy author).
The photos of the crystals are nicely captured, but the specimens photographed are not great examples of the crystals, so quite a few of them are difficult to identity. (Emerald, for example, is mostly matrix and has only a few chipped edges of green, but does not show the crystal's structure).
The deck which was sent to me was bought, "new" but the package was not in new condition (photo attached).
What I thought I was buying was the crystal equivalency of a tarot deck. (Where each card had the crystal name on the back, and it's corresponding metaphysical properties are in the accompanying booklet. This is not that.
Maybe I'll have better luck with the Crystal Reading Cards Deck & Book By Rachelle Charman.
The ONLY REASON why I'm keeping this deck is because the first card visible on the deck matched the necklace I was wearing when I received my package.
I hope you find this helpful. Best wishes.
