C.Kenner's Book: Crystals For Beginners

I recently picked up this book by Corrine Kenner: "Crystals For Beginners" A Guide For Enhancing Your Health, Intuition, & Creativity Using Crystals And Stones) and am 34 pages into it. Seems to be well written and a joy to read. She lists what she believes are the twenty top crystals which I post below. Was wondering if anyone has read this book or what they think of Corrine Kenner as a writer regarding crystals. New Age Retailer writes in their review: "Extremely informative, factual, and one of the best 'how-to' books we have ever read. A must have!"

yes I have looked at this book before........

I didn't read it cover to cover (every single page), but I read a lot of that book.

it's an ok book.......... she also wrote a book about tarot card readings that i read.

"the crystal bible" is a good book.............

so is "love is in the earth" by Melody........

also "the book of stones" is a good one. by Robert simmons

my favorite crystal? gosh, that's a hard question..........

I have lots of favorite crystals.......... each one helps with different things..........

i really loved rose quartz when i first got some of it........

that rose quartz brought me so much happiness and love the first day i got it....

also aventurine keeps me calm when i get upset and stressed.

i have so many crystals........ (lots of favorites, just depends on my mood)

Aquamarine really resonates with me. I'm a pretty shy person so it helps give me courage to speak my truth. And I just love its colors, feels very cool and refreshing. I love all the beryls actually! Aquamarine, Bixbite, Emerald, Goshenite, Heliodor, Morganite.
Labadorite is another that really resonates with me, love that stone.
