Often times I’ll buy a book based on its cover and this one is no exception. I love the typography, the use of star and crystal elements – a combination I never seem to tire of. Vintage books are probably more interesting cover-wise than most modern book covers these days, at least to me.
On the back cover of the book it says:
Ra Bonewitz is the foremost authority on the spiritual aspects of crystals. A scientist, professional geologist, psychic and mystic, he is a unique combination of the practical and the intuitive. As well as working as a trance medium and healer, he travels widely giving lectures and workshops on crystal energies and their applications.
I’ve not finished the book but have jumped around mostly, I confess that I have a hard time finishing all sorts of books because I go in and out of being interested.
Nonetheless, this is a fascinating book to have in your collection if you love and appreciate crystals and minerals both from a geological and metaphysical point of view.
The full title of the book is Cosmic Crystals – Crystal Consciousness and the New Age, the author is Ra Bonewitz.
