This book is absolutely gorgeous.

There are 36 crystals in this book. Each one has a beautiful illustration to represent it, as well as a description of what that crystal means or represents, its rating on the Mohs Hardness Scale, a self-reflection guide, and a ritual that utilizes that crystal. It's easy to read in one go, but because it describes individual crystals, it's also easy to set down, or to use as a reference guide.

Peppered throughout this book are little fun bits, such as quotes, questions to ponder as you reflect, and small stories of history and mythology. There's a good variety of types of stories, including Nordic, Renaissance, ancient Egypt, Rome, and more.

Some of the crystals that are described in this book include Azurite, Salt, Carnelian, and Larimar.

If you use crystals or practice magick, this is a beautiful book to have at your reference. Or, if you just are a fan of gorgeous mystic art, this book is worth looking through.

I received a copy in exchange for my honest review. Thank you!

A fascinating book of Crystal facts and information to read and digest, with great graphic pictures.

love this book like I did with the others. Some crystals that would come to you start away and a few that don't. A selected collection of crystals - not a full directory of them and if get the physical you get cards of the crystals. Really nice.

I am simply in love with this book. The illustrations are stunning, and the material is very useful and insightful. I can see myself reading it over and over again. Highly recommend.

This is yet another gem from Maia Toll! The illustrations are beautiful and her reflections on the included crystals are insightful. There is definitely something lost in the formatting of the kindle version however. It does not have the same flow and it is more difficult to find that ethereal connection. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to find a deeper personal connection with crystals and incorporate that wisdom into their lives.

This is equally as beautiful and insightful as Maia Toll's other books in the series. This is one I would buy in a heartbeat.

A simple and quick book to read. Maia Toll has a wonderful, evocative and descriptive style at the same time, and the meditations of each crystal are very useful. I loved it!

I thought this was a lovey designed book that talks about crystals and their properties. I enjoyed reading up on it. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

I was given the massive opportunity to review Maia Tolls new book The Illustrated Crystallary which is due to be released in June.
I already own The Illustrated Herbiary collectable box set and The Illustrated Bestiary and they are easily some of my favourite illustrations and oracle card guidance books so I couldn't wait to be able to review this one too!
Yet again it did not disappoint. The descriptions were unique, illustrations were as gorgeous as always and the activities are perfect.  I cannot wait to purchase this when its released. I'm hoping for another collector's box set to add to my collection.

Oh my gosh Maia Toll’s books just get better and better. The illustrations are lush and gorgeous. The writing is the same as her other books, well researched and beautiful to read. The cards the book comes with will certainly be stunning. I can’t wait to get hands on a copy of this magical book. I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.

As a kindle ebook the formatting has been majorly altered. The pictures are one thing but a lot of the text isn't quite right. This would be easier as a physical book. But it is disappointing that the ebook is so different to read. 
From the information I did gather, this seems to be above my knowledge, or lack there of, of crystals. In my opinion it isn't a good beginners guide to them. It might be good for those who do have a basic knowledge of crystals.

This is a lovely and very unique book on crystals.  The illustrations are beautiful, and it is so different from any other book I have read on the subject.  I love the authors interpretations and the way she relates to each crystal.  It is food for the soul and is so refreshing (different from the usual 'dictionary' format of crystal books).  I think the hard copy will be so much better than the ebook too, especially with the inclusion of the card deck.  Overall an excellent book that would make a wonderful gift.

What an incredible book. I've always been drawn to crystals and found most books on them to be very dry lists of what the supposed properties are. Although this only covers a limited range of crystals, they're each covered in depth and in a way that makes it easy to connect with the properties of each crystal. The accompanying exercises are excellent and accessible, most of them you could do right there and then rather than having to go out and get a bunch of things first. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I love that the cards allow the reader a focal point for the crystal without them having to go out and purchase them. I've already pre ordered the hard copy of this so I can also have the cards and see the book in it's full glory. I definitely, definitely recommend it and am planning to buy the rest of the Wild Wisdom series!

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is an absolutely beautiful book all the way through and contains some amazing information about crystals. 
I have been searching for such a detailed and enjoyable book about crystals for ages and this book ticks all the boxes for me. This is a book I will definitely be buying as soon as i can get a paper copy of it.

This is a comprehensive book about crystals and it has some really beautiful illustrations. It's a great resource and it's easy to find information.

This is a very comprehensive book on crystals  and I really enjoyed it. The illustrations are beautiful And enhance the information. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

I pretty much refer to my life now as BMT and AMT (Before Maia Toll and After Maia Toll). I happened upon her book, The Illustrated Herbiary, while on a weekend trip and I happened to notice a shelf in their local bookstore labeled, "Beautiful Book Covers". By the time I got home, I had thoroughly researched everything I could about Maia and already had an order in for her other book, The Illustrated Beastiary. Ever since my life has never been the same. 

Before being introduced to Maia's works and teachings, I just went through my day-to-day as is. Maia's book have taught me the importance of checking in with myself, stopping to appreciate my surroundings, and healthier ways of dealing with stress in my life. The Illustrated Crystallary is an excellent tool for self-care and continues with the valuable lessons that Maia has laid the groundwork for in her previous two books! After finishing going through every page, I spent the remainder of my weekend telling my friends they needed to pre-order this book!

The illustrations are lovely but I couldn’t read any text in this book so don’t feel that I can give it a real review. If a more complete copy becomes available I’d appreciate knowing and will happily review it.
