A number of things set Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians apart from other books
on crystal healing. In particular the fact that it makes no secret of being channeled from
the spirit world. It's even in the title, presenting the book as 'wisdom' from the
'guardians of the gemstones.'
While this may sound too far out there for most M.D.'s and conservative medical
practitioners, Michael Katz is convinced that crystal healing, when applied methodically
and scientifically, will gradually gain acceptance by the conventional medical
establishment.
Mr. Katz has plenty of support in his convictions. Successful athletes from all over the
world attest to the power of Gemstone Energy Medicine, including but not limited
to: Arizona Diamondbacks' Pitcher Tanner Eriksen, Olympic Trainer and Triathlete Art
Dilworth, British Olympic Swimmer Mark Foster, and Swedish Olympic Medalist Glen
Christiansen.
Larry King, of Larry King Live, is quoted on the sleeve of the 1997 edition of this book
as saying: "Some inner voice told me to read this book. Thank you, inner voice.
What a remarkable study."
The text in Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is comprised of conversations with and
discourses by the spirit beings referred to as the 'Gemstone Guardians.' Twenty-nine such
beings share their 'wisdom' about a particular gemstone, telling us about the stone's
qualities and healing powers.
Even though Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is technically speaking a non-fiction
book, it is so exquisitely well written that it's actually a more enjoyable read, cover to
cover, than most novels. It's hard to put down once you've begun reading it, and I've
heard of no other book engendering an interest in crystal healing in the previously
uninitiated.
It should be noted that Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is not a reference book on
crystals. It is an inspirational story with in-depth information about a select few of the
most powerful healing gemstones and crystals available on the market today. If you are
looking for a reference book, there are better choices. If you're ready to be set on fire
about gemstones, then Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is the book for you.
Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians has been a perpetual best-seller in the field of
crystal healing since its first edition in 1989, when it was published as Gifts of the
Gemstone Guardians. Another version of the book titled Gemisphere Luminary was
