The Book of Stones: Who They Are and What They Teach by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian has proven to be very popular. It is sold at many mineral dealers’s sites. I saw quite a few vendors selling it at the major gems shows, too. In this book, Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian give us their insights into the metaphysical uses and meanings of a wide variety of crystals and stones.
Reading the perspectives of two different authors side-by-side give a fascinating glimpse into the energies of the many crystals discussed. You need this book. |

Robert Simmons’ book continues the tradition of The Book of Stones, and brings extensive information on an additional 62 stones. In this Stones of the New Consciousnesshe discusses the new consciousness telling us it is an awakening of understanding of our partnership with the soul of the Earth.
There are introductory chapter on A New Crystal Vision, The New Consciousness, The Liquid Body Matrix, Crystal Meditation and Healing with Stones among others. The discussions of the 62 stones are excellent and the photographs are exceptional. It will take you a long time to digest this book, but worth your time if you seek understanding. |
