ebook

In the ancient world there were three medicine kingdoms: animal, vegetable, and mineral. Following her previous acclaimed volumes on animal (The Illustrated Bestiary) and vegetable (The Illustrated Herbiary), Maia Toll fulfills the call for mineral with The Illustrated Crystallary, exploring the mystical qualities of 36 fascinating crystals and minerals, including amethyst, hematite, mica, smokey quartz, emerald, ruby, and more. Combining bits of ancient wisdom with her own insights, Toll illuminates the aspects and energy of each stone and, through rituals and reflections, the life guidance it might offer contemporary readers. Obsidian’s shiny surface and sharp edges reflect the shadowy corners of the self and serve as the tool for cutting them loose. The sky-like color of earthly turquoise provides balance between opposing forces. Stunning illustrations by Kate O’Hara magnify the symbolism of each crystal.
This publication conforms to the EPUB Accessibility specification at WCAG 2.0 Level AA.

      Toll, a healer, writer, teacher, and owner of herbiary.com, which sells essential oils, herbs, teas, and personal care products, along with illustrator Kate O'Hara, has created a magical collection of guidebooks. The newest title joins The Illustrated Herbiary and The Illustrated Bestiary in this collection. As with the first two books, this work includes oracle cards to inspire readers and help them learn about the healing qualities of stones and crystals. Each gem or mineral is personified in the guidance it provides. For example, "Selenite reminds you that you can be a source of light." Descriptions also include rituals and reflections intended to help readers connect to the powers within the stones and crystals as well as within themselves. VERDICT The oracle cards that come as part of the book are meant to be handled as separate artifacts, making this title a bit tricky as a lending item. With that said, Toll's previous titles have a dedicated fan base, and readers who love her other books will want to see this one as well.--Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach
