A Beginner's Guide to the Energy of Stones

Since ancient times, people have believed in the energy of stones and crystals. Modern science has developed ways to measure this energy and has used quartz in watches and communication devices as well as rubies in lasers. Sapphires also covered the early Tel-Star satellites.

In this book, I present the folklore properties of stones used for various purposes such as protection, love, balance, grounding and meditation. As the title says, this is a beginner’s guide—just to get you started. The photographs included are here so you can see what some of the mentioned stones look like so you know what to look for when you begin or add to your collection.

In addition to the folklore, I have included instructions on how to clear your stones and how to do a stone layout in the article on Using Stones with Reiki which you will find at the end.
