CONTENTS

The first book in this series, The Crystal Healer, was essentially a record of my journey with the Stone Peoplecrystals, gems, rocks, minerals, and stones. Colloquially, I like to call them all crystals. This is what I do, and Ive been working with crystals, clients, customers, and students almost every single day for over a quarter of a centuryhealing myself and clients, buying and selling around the world, teaching and learning with my students, and writing about these amazing crystal beings. The Crystal Healer was originally published in 2007. At some time in the now distant past, the possibility of a Volume 2 had been mooted. I wrote other books in the meantime, including The Complete Guide to Crystal Chakra Healing and The Book of Crystal Grids, but finally, here is the second volume. There was never going to be enough room within the pages of a single volume to cover all the available crystal knowledge. There isnt the room in two volumes, or three or four or So, I apologize right at the beginning for my omissions and look forward to sharing them with you in the future!

There is so much more that I wanted to reveal to you: diverse ways of working with crystals, some ancient and some new; topics either not covered or just touched on in the original book that I wanted to expand, such as crystal grids (see The Book of Crystal Grids); and crystal colors and shapes (see pages here, giving us a better image of the way we interact with crystals and how they affect our inner world.

Your feedback from The Crystal Healer was that you loved the Crystal Finders 250 crystals organized by color, with clear photographs, descriptions, and healing properties. There are 250 new crystals in this book, arranged in exactly the same color-coded format. Many of these crystals are included because they have become more widely available and some are newly discovered since the first book.

I am passionate about our relationships with crystals and understanding the messages that crystals carry: how they talk to you and how you listen to your crystals and stones. To this end, Ive written an entire section on crystal communication (see pages ). Here is where I explore the possibilities of adding to our personal well-being in ways we cannot see or expect. Crystals will look beyond the dimensions we see in, touch our heart, and bring healing to our soul.

I am sharing my passion for crystals with you in these pages and I hope a little of it rubs off and encourages you to take the next step on your crystal journey. Whether thats holding a crystal or visiting a crystal store for the first time, going to a local workshop, training as a crystal healer, or becoming a Crystal Master Teacher to pass on your knowledge of the Stone People to others, I hope these words can help you to heal and will inspire you.

In this chapter, we look at how crystals work and how we work with them, including communicating with them and understanding how different colors and shapes can affect their energy.

WHAT ARE CRYSTALS?

Id like to begin by explaining that to me, and used throughout this book, the term crystal is not limited to the scientific definition but includes all of the mineral kingdom, the Stone Peoplecrystals, minerals, rocks, stones, and gemstones, as well as mineralized shells, fossilized animals, and petrified plants.

Crystals are beautiful in both their appearance and their feel. Theyre fun to work with, and have no ill side effects. Even if sometimes their effect can feel uncomfortable as we release thoughts and emotions we dont want to face while they are bringing balance to our energy system, they do only good.
