Biographical note
Nicholas Pearson has been immersed in all aspects of the mineral kingdom for nearly 30 years. As one of the leading voices in crystal healing today, he offers a unique blend of science and spirituality alongside a grounded, practical approach to working with crystals. The author of several books, including Crystal Basics, he lives in Orlando, Florida.“From the opening paragraph of the introduction to the very final pages this book is exciting, delightful, and informative. Nicholas Pearson has a special way of sharing his knowledge about crystals that could make anyone fall in love with their beauty, their mythology and lore, and the magic that they create when we work in harmony with them. His adept guidance leads us through foundational knowledge of how and why crystals work, and he goes on to share an in-depth look at a truly amazing array of stones. What most pocket guides lack in depth, this guide expertly captures within its pages. This pocket book may be small, but it’s substantial in the vast number of stones described, including not only common minerals but also more unique stones I’ve yet to see described elsewhere. Touching on the most important qualities of each stone, helpful correspondences, and geological information for each, this guide is a treasure that will have a place on my favorites list for many years to come.”
Ashley Leavy, author of Cosmic Crystals
“The perfect pocket guide for your spiritual rock-sleuthing pleasure. Pearson does it again! <i>Crystal Basics Pocket Encyclopedia</i> is the quintessential rock guidebook—excellent for beginners and experts alike. Nicholas takes you through everything you need to have a full understanding of the stone kingdom: how gems and minerals form, the various geometric systems, what they are made of and how they receive their colors, rock correspondences to other metaphysical information, and their healing and spiritual properties. As a Spiritualist and rock-hound myself, I found the easy-to-understand, simple languaging of a very complex topic refreshing. This level of understanding is vital for deepening your sacred self-awareness—understanding the formation and physical composition of gems and minerals allows you to fully access their spiritual gifts for you. The more you understand stones, the more profoundly you witness the cosmic awakening within yourself and the quantum universe. This is the crystal guide for your carry-all.”
Tracee Dunblazier, spiritual empath, shaman, and author of Transformative Grief and Your Crystal All

Michael Herkes, author of The GLAM Witch, Witchcraft for Daily Self-Care, and Love Spells for the Mo
“Nicholas Pearson has masterfully created a crystal and stone encyclopedia that every healer and magician should own. This book not only teaches us what each shape, color, and chemical composition means but also shows us how to use them spiritually, psychologically, and physiologically. This is one of the most thorough books I’ve seen on crystal energy and healing.”
Chris Allaun, author of Otherworld: Ecstatic Witchcraft for the Spirits of the Land
"A beautifully illustrated book jam-packed with information about a myriad of stones. The author has certainly done his homework! Really helpful, and worth the price of the book, especially if you're a neophyte gemstone collector is the glossary section on the scams and misrepresentations. The book...gives helpful tips, advising you on selection, cleansing, displaying, charging, programming, etc. There's a part on dispelling myths. And the glossary has a quick reference table, a part on artificial gems and mistaken identities. Highly recommended on quality of information alone."
