 Rating:  - Yikes!Was I ever disappointed by this! When I saw the word "encyclopedia" I assumed that's what it was, and that it was going to be a good one.

There are SO many stones with SO many uses. I had hoped that more would have been covered. Also the book had few pictures. I would not recommend this book.
