As someone just beginning my journey with crystals, I asked for a recommendation while visiting the shop, and this book turned out to be exactly what I needed. After looking through a few options, I chose this one and I’m so glad I did. I flew through it—it’s clear, approachable, and gives a solid understanding of the basics without feeling overwhelming. It’s given me a great foundation and the confidence to continue my learning with my own web-based research moving forward. Thank you for such a thoughtful recommendation and for supporting beginners so well!
