The Healing Crystals Database: A Visual Guide to 275 Crystals: Meanings, Chakras, Zodiac, Geology and Care

275 crystals. One full-colour page each. Meanings, geology and care in one place.

Most crystal books give you either the folklore or the science. Shop owners, healers and collectors need both, plus the practical answers nobody prints: Can this stone go in water? Will it fade on a sunny windowsill? Is it safe to handle raw? The Healing Crystals Database began as the working reference of a Canadian crystal importer, built to answer those questions the same way, every time, for every stone. This is that database, corrected, fact-checked and laid out as a book.

One page per crystal, always in the same place

Learn the layout once and you can read any stone at a glance:

A colour photograph of a typical specimen
Known for: the three themes each stone is most often chosen for
Chakra, zodiac sign, planet, element and vibrational number, with colour-coded chakra dots
Metaphysical lore and traditional health lore, clearly labelled as tradition rather than medical fact
Real geology: mineral group and class, Mohs hardness on a visual scale, transparency, lustre, fracture and cleavage
Geology and history: how the stone forms, how it got its name, its colours and where it is found
Care strip: water, sunlight and salt precautions, with red warnings on the stones that contain lead, arsenic, copper or other toxic elements
An affirmation in the spirit of each crystal
From Abalone Shell to Zoisite

Everyday favourites like Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz, Citrine, Black Tourmaline, Labradorite and Selenite sit beside collector stones such as Cavansite, Vanadinite, Lazulite, Stibnite and Shattuckite, plus quartz formations (Record Keeper, Lemurian, Elestial, Phantom), rocks, fossils, organic gems like amber and pearl, treated stones such as aura quartz, and the manufactured glass sold in crystal shops. Every page says which is which, so you always know what you are holding.

Find the right stone fast

A reference section with page numbers groups all 275 crystals by chakra, zodiac sign, planet, element, intention (from abundance and calm to protection and new beginnings) and Mohs hardness. A Care at a Glance chart lists water, sun and salt precautions for every stone on a few pages, and the index catches alternative names.

Written for people who handle crystals every day
Shop owners: answer customer questions on the spot and write accurate product cards
Healers and practitioners: choose stones by chakra, sign or intention and know which ones need gentle care
Collectors and beginners: learn what a stone really is, how hard it is, and how to keep it looking its best

Includes a guide to reading a crystal page, with plain-language explanations of hardness, lustre, cleavage, fracture, formation types and the chakra system.

Crystal lore is shared for interest and reflection. It is not medical advice.
