There are so very many crystal related books on the market that it is difficult to narrow it down. I also strongly believe that books are often best used to identify the gemstone, mineral, or fossil in front of you. The books can be used to confirm what your intuition shares with you regarding the best use of the stone, however; your intuition and connection to each part of your toolkit is the best way to know how to use them. 

That said, what follows is a list of what is currently on my bookshelf.
