Crystalpedia

The Wisdom, History, and Healing Power of More Than 180 Sacred Stones

By Athena Perrakis, PhD

For when your crystal collection has officially outgrown your ability to remember what all the pretty rocks are supposed to do.

Crystalpedia by Athena Perrakis, PhD, founder and CEO of Sage Goddess, is a beautifully illustrated guide to more than 180 crystals, gemstones, and sacred stones from around the world. Part crystal encyclopedia and part practical metaphysical reference, it explores the history, traditional associations, and energetic properties attributed to each stone while offering guidance for incorporating crystals into your own spiritual practice.

Organized alphabetically for easy browsing, each entry introduces the stone alongside gorgeous photography and information about its elemental associations, chakras, astrological connections, planetary correspondences, and traditional metaphysical uses. Whether you're searching for a crystal to complement a particular intention or finally identifying the mysterious stone that's been living on your altar for six months, Crystalpedia makes an excellent reference to keep close at hand.

Perrakis also explores practical ways of working with crystals beyond simply collecting them. Learn about cleansing and charging stones, creating crystal grids, meditation, manifestation, chakra work, and incorporating crystals into ritual, helping you develop a more intentional relationship with the stones you choose to bring into your practice.
