Reviews

“Nicholas Pearson’s book The Seven Archetypal Stones is well researched and beautifully written, offering new insights, meditations, and practices for seven of the most fascinating stones in history. It is refreshing to see a new generation of crystal authors like Nicholas Pearson.”
*Katrina Raphaell, author of the Crystal Trilogy*

“Nicholas Pearson is one of the most plainly knowledgeable mineral persons I have met in my life. He masterfully bridges the worlds of the head and the heart, along with corresponding rituals. The crystal adventure is just beginning. Read this book and you will walk in both those worlds, and your life will be forever enriched--likely enchanted.”
*Marilyn Twintreess, coauthor of the Stones Alive! trilogy*

“A deep and thorough exploration of seven power stone spirits.Rather than just list the properties of the stones, Nicholas Pearson uses the history, myth, and science of the stones to create experiences that allow you to directly engage with their energies and spiritual lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned some new things about some old favorite stones.”
*Christopher Penczak, author of the Temple of Witchcraft series*

“A gem of a book. The perfect initiation into crystal mysteries. Accessible, immensely fascinating, and practical at the same time. The archetypes have great depth and wisdom.”
*Judy Hall, author of The Crystal Bible series*
