5.0 out of 5 stars Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia, Aug 9 2009
By Kathy W - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love is in the Earth: The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia, The Liite Fantastic, "the Last Testament" (Hardcover)
This is Melody's NEW book, not to be confused with the older (and much smaller) version. This is about 8 X 14" in size and on high-quality paper. It is a 2008 publication and must weigh a good 20 lbs (not sure-just a guess), and it is 965 pages, with a few extra blank pages for notes. Melody says it is the Last Testament and Grand Finale in the "Love is in the Earth series. A culmination of 25 years of work, this book covers over 1400 minerals/crystals/rocks, with over 1400 photographs. For fans of Melody's work, this book is terrific. It is like a stone bible.

The book begins with several pages of "thank you" acknowledgements. A FOREWORD follows, then CONFIGURATION explanations (e.g. The Asterated star crystal-explanation), the ELIXERS/ENERGIZING LIQUIDS/STONE OILS (explanations), MINERALS WHICH NEVER NEED CLEANSING (list), NUMERICAL VIBRATIONS (explanation), MASTER NUMBERS (explanation), SIMULATED and SYNTHETIC MINERALS (explanation & list), CHEMICAL ELEMENTS (explanation and intro to a Table in appendix C), ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS (explanation), PREPARATORY METHODOLOGY (e.g. finding and awakening crystals), PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS (e.g. treating food and plants), ADDITIONAL DEFINITITIONS (e.g. each charka explained).

The stones begin on page 57 and continue through page 870. Again, there are over 1400 stones, crystals and minerals, each with a color photo and nicely written explanation. Melody begins with colors, chemical composition, hardness, location, metaphysical properties, and ends with the numerical vibration number. The quartz section alone goes from page 603 to page 680! She has also included little black arrows on some of the pictures to point out specific types of markings, inclusions, etc., such as on the Record Keeper Quartz. Paraiba Quartz is also included in this section, as are many other special varieties. You could sit up all night just flipping through this book. It is HUGE!

Appendix A -- begins on page 871 and is a cross reference index for numerical vibrations and mineralogical association (e.g. numbers 1 through 9 and a listing under each of the associated stones. Then the Master numbers 11, 22, 33 etc and their stones.)

Appendix B -- begins on page 883 and is a cross references index of zodiacal designations with mineralogical associations (e.g. Gemini and all the stones associated with the sign).

Appendix C -- begins on page 897 and is a table of the 112 elements that have been established to date (e.g. Potassium, abbreviation "K", comment alkali-Metal).
Appendix D - begins on page 905 and is examples of creations from the mineral kingdom (e.g. pictures and explanations of some created pieces, such as an inlay piece).

The Index begins on page 911 and ends on page 965. That alone should provide a perception of the magnitude of this book! Again, a few blank pages follow to provide the reader a place for notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE crystal book!, Sep 21 2008
By Melissa Mogan "Sarah A." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love is in the Earth: The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia, The Liite Fantastic, "the Last Testament" (Hardcover)
This is the book all crystal healers have been waiting on! It combines all of Melody's books into one, giving us one quick reference. Many new stones were added to this book that were not in the originals and the descriptions, pictures and compositions are wonderful!
The book is heavy, however to try to carry around 5 books with this same information would be more cumberson then one book.This was money well spent and I definately reccomend this book over many of the other crystal books out on the market.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be careful and wise, Nov 22 2010
By ToEnjoyLearning - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love is in the Earth: The Crystal and Mineral Encyclopedia, The Liite Fantastic, "the Last Testament" (Hardcover)
This book is a great catalog of crystals, minerals and metals. It has plenty of pictures, and is aware of most varieties known to man. But it is mostly that, a nice list in catalog form. Use it only if you want to pin-point what rock you have on your hand.

When you actually read the specifics, it fails to be precise. Some examples:

- A lot of the book is copy pasted information between entries. Silver and gold entries are good examples, compare them.
- She fails to explain that Tiger Eye, for example, heats up and gets warm very fast when there is danger around you. She actually knows very little about each rock. It takes several life times just to understand a few.
- The way she says "This rock vibrates to the number 7" is completely baseless, a great insult to crystals. Using her ill applied Pythagorean method (though Pythagoras was a genius, his knowledge is misunderstood by her). If you use that same Pythagorean numerological method, you get a different number with every language there is. "Quartz" in english gets a different number from "Cuarzo" in spanish. These rocks exist since before english was invented, and since Pythagoras was born. You have to look at the crystal, not at its name, to know their numbers.
- There is a much better, geometric way of getting their number. For example, quartz crystal is naturally a hexagon, implying 6, actually 7 if you know any geometry (the center is the seventh).

She says love a lot, and yes, love is the most important thing in the universe. Still, saying love all the time does not mean you know crystals. I later bought the "American Indian: Secrets of Crystal Healing". That one has not one picture, but its full of true information. The author, Luc Bourgault, has much more respect for mother Earth and the crystals than this "Melody", who hides her name under her marketing stunt.
