CRYSTAL POWER: MYTHOLOGY AND HISTORY
by Andreas Guhr Jorg Nagler (9781844090853)

Minerals and crystals have been closely associated with human cultural progress throughout recorded history - and even in pre-history. This book reveals the long-standing significance, high-regard and use in therapy and healing of stones, crystals and gems - from the earliest civilisations such as Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, through the classical world of Greece and Rome and into medieval European cultures. It provides a fascinating insight into the use of precious stones and gems as amulets and talismans and of the healing powers with which they were - and still are - believed to be imbued. In addition, there is a comprehensive appendix, in which minerals and crystals are listed with their respective mineralogical, historical, astrological and healing properties, thereby making this book an historical record and a full work of reference.
