Gemisphere Luminary

Find that you're incredibly attracted to amethysts and don't know why? Do you put your hands over crystals because it "kinda feels nice"? Do rubies in a store window cause you to stare until your mate has to haul you away?? The Gemisphere Luminary is a must-have for you, and may give you some surprising answers about your attractions. Whether or not your world view is in line with the more esoteric information in the book (i.e.: Gemstone Guardians), the basic gemstone information is detailed, precise and extremely useful. I have worked with crystals and gemstones for many years, and I found this book to be completely in line with my experience. Mr. Katz stresses the quality of stones, which I've also found to be extremely important, and something I think many people don't appreciate. (Chances are good that if you drop by your local rock shop, what you will find there will not be of sufficient quality to have anything like the effects various books describe, generally leading people to think that it's all bunk. That's unfortunate, as good quality stones can be wonderful tools.) If you work with crystals and stones, or just have an attraction to them, this book is an excellent resource and will give you much food for thought.

Before reading the Luminary, I didn't feel a great attraction to using gems for anything more than jewelry. Though I did accept the possibility of out-of-body 'real' experiences, I didn't see how that could credibly translate into developing a form of energy medicine! But upon reading this book, I developed a great respect, not only for the healing power of gemstones, but for Energy Medicine in general. Still a skeptic, I am repeatadly amazed at the actual, real-life stories I hear of people experiencing transformation and healing using therapuetuc quality gems -- it looks like this stuff isn't just new-age hocus-pocus after all! I hope you give the book a read - even you skeptics out there! If for no other reason than for it's sheer eloquence.Enjoy!

Simply put, Michael Katz' book LUMINARY, is the definitive book on the subject of therapeutic gemstones.The book documents a series of spiritual experiences that the author and his wife shared together. Michael Katz outlines his experience with the Gemstone Guardians, a group of spiritual beings responsible for the preservation of the gemstones on our planet. During these spiritual discourses Michael is made aware of the healing properties of gemstones for us as individuals and our planet.One of the most splendid aspects of the book is the enlightening spiritual discourse that accompanies the explanation of each gemstone. This alone makes the book a worthwhile purchase.In my opinion this is an extraordinary book with much to share about the healing properties of therapeutic gems.

I am a gemstone therapist. I've found the information in this book to really work for me. It clearly states how gemstones work, easy ways to use them, and other useful information.

The Guardians of each gemstone were fascinating beings, each with a mission and purpose for their particular gemstone. Each guardian shares their history of the gemstone and educates us. This book gives us valuable information to use for gemstone healings. If you have ever felt an affinity for a particular gemstone and wondered what it's mission is on the planet, you should get this book and read it. It's a lovely, sweet book, full of incredible information.
