The Crystal Collector

This is the first crystal book that combines the sought-after metaphysics of the crystal world with the practicality of how to select, source, care for, and curate the reader’s growing crystal collection.

Crystal collecting – and caring for those collections – continues to be a core practice of the mind, body, spirit space. In this unique book, author Jillian Aurelia Green guides readers down the path to creating a crystal collection that speaks to the soul. With mindful practice at its centre, The Crystal Collector explores every facet of the crystal collecting world, while providing inspiring and creative ways to enjoy crystals.

Organized into three main sections, Part One offers a behind the scenes look at how crystals are mined, how to differentiate between counterfeit and natural stones, the best avenues for adding to one’s collection, and how to source crystals ethically and sustainably.

Part Two, the heart of the book, offers beginners and enthusiasts alike an easy reference to potential crystal collections, whether one is more interested in the scientific mineral type, geologically-curious crystalline features, or by intentional properties.

Part Three spotlights how to care for different types of crystals, and how to organize, curate, and utilize the stones and minerals in one’s collection, whether it’s the very first or the 100th addition.

Beautiful photographs, along with tips, provide inspiration on how to organize and display crystal collections, while crystal grids offer ways to showcase one’s crystals with purposeful intention. This is the definitive guide to creating an ethically sound and mindfully focused crystal collection that will stay with the reader for life, with something new to discover on every reading.
