Crystal Power Mythology and History - Andreas Guhr and Jorg Nagler

Crystal Power Mythology & History by Andreas Guhr & Jorg Nagler provides detail of the mystery,magic & healing properties of crystals, stones & gems including an A - Z guide.

Both a historical survey and a reference work, this study traces the mythology and cultural importance of gems and minerals from Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt through the classical worlds of Greece and Rome to medieval Europe.
Amulets and talismans and the powers attributed to them are cataloged for each civilization, with special attention paid to the spiritual and healing powers with which they were--and are today--thought to be imbued.

A large and detailed appendix lists gems and crystals with their respective mineralogical, historical, astrological, and healing properties.

Andreas Guhr is the founder of the Mineralien-Zentrum in Hamburg, Germany. Jörg Nagler is a professor of history.

The late Michael Gienger studied crystal healing for more than 30 years. The author of numerous publications, he has gained a worldwide reputation as an expert on crystal healing.
