Great Reference Book of tthe Magickal and Healing Uses of Crystals, Metals and Gems.
I do have some issues with this book is that Cunningham does not really reference where he got his information from, I would be happier if this book at better references of source material.
The book also does not go into Moh hardness of the various crystals. This is important as the Moh Harness Scale determines how hard a crystal/gem is and depending on where a crystal falls on the scale, would determine how you would store it as different hardness can damage other crystals when stored together.
He also does not go into depth which crystals are toxic in the individual profiles. He mentions making Gem Elixirs but does not state in the profiles which crystals should be used via the direct method (within water) or indirect method (empty vessel with crystal in it, sitting in another vessel of water), which is very important due to some crystals being toxic.
He mentions methods of cleansing crystals, but does not indicate which crystals should not be cleansed using water (some crystals dissolve/are damaged with water), some crystals get bleached or can cause fires if exposed to the sun, etc.... ( )

A list of correspondences and magical uses for crystals, gems and metals. Am replacing with books that come more highly recommended.

It's a good reference book with a nice introduction in using crystals, cleansing them etc. There is unfortunately some passages in the book that should be ignored at best because they did not stand the test of time. Like the reference to using mercury and asbestos along putting random stones in your mouth without clear warnings. Stones such as malachite, opal and azurite just to name a few should absolutely not go in water let alone your mouth but from reading this book alone you'll never know that.
Then there is the quotes "Who would trust a magician whose life is in disarray, who is in debt, constantly sick, or emotionally unstable?" and "Too much receptive energy creates moodiness, lethargy, depression, disinterest and a shutting-out of the physical world." These quotes are pretty dangerous and I was a bit shocked to see it in the first few pages. These quotes should definitely be left at the door.
As for what I did like the correspondences along with planets and deities was very nice along with the recommendations of going to rock shows to start building your collection. There is good information in there but I knew what to cherry pick from this book and what not to. The next person may not be so lucky.
I'd recommend taking some information and leaving the rest at the door. While it is helpful it should not be the last book you read when it comes to crystals, witchcraft, wicca or for whatever you came here for.

Again, anyone who KNOWS me well knows that I don't always read a book cover-to-cover (including The Bible, which I've read and of which many scriptures I've memorized and quoted). I skip around. So, I'm not on any one page but I began reading it 2 or 3 days ago.

This book was given to me by a family member. It definitely has some juicy information. Once I've absorbed all of the details which lie within these 268 pages, I can take a short break from my intense crystal and stone magical and healing properties research. ( )

I'm disappointed by the fact that there weren't exactly a lot of details on the stones. Otherwise good for working stones into magic. ( )
