    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

    Great book

    So much information in such a little book. Each stone has its own page. Also has a separate glossary dedicated to uses arranged in alphabetical order

  • Great little book for identifying stones. Others may like it for the meaning or as healing of the stones.

  • Unusal & Exiting Stones

    This book not only describes the stones, but gives an emotional and spiritual explanation as well. I've found rare stones that other books didn't cover, thats HUGE. Anyone interested in crystals and stones should definitely consider this book.

  • Love this book.

    The pictures are very vivid and real looking. I like the idea that the crystals actually mean something.
