Michael Katz’ Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians, a Book Review

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians stands apart from any other crystal healing book on the market in many respects. First of all, whereas other crystal healing books usually contain so called ‘channeled’ information from the spirit world, none of them so directly profess it the way this book does.

Although this may be a tad much for orthodox medical practitioners, author Michael Katz none-the-less believes this young science, which he refers to as Gemstone Energy Medicine, will continue to grow and become increasingly mainstream.

And he is not alone in that belief. Many top athletes testify to the power of the gemstones as described in this book, including Mark Foster, British Olympic Swimmer, Glen Christiansen, Swedish Olympic Medalist, Tanner Eriksen, Pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Art Dilworth, Triathlete, Professional and Olympic Trainer.

Another well-known celebrity says, “Some inner voice told me to read this book. Thank you, inner voice. What a remarkable study.” Those are the words of Larry King, quoted in the 1997 edition of this book.

The material in Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is made up of the teachings of twenty-nine ‘Gemstone Guardians,” each of whom is in charge of a particular gemstone. They tell us of the powers and healing qualities of each stone.

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.

If you are looking for a reference book in which to look up any gemstone which happens to draw your immediate attention, then Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians is not the right choice. But if you are looking for the best, most inspirational and enjoyable story about the healing properties of some of the most powerful gemstones in the world today, then there really is no comparable alternative.

The best-selling Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians has been reprinted numerous times. The original title of the book was Gifts of the Gemstone Guardians. A later intermediary edition was sold as Gemisphere Luminary.

The stones and crystals described in Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians are Ruby, Carnelian, Citrine, Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, Indigo (crystalline form of Sodalite), Black Onyx, Ivorite, Opalite, Riverstone, Quarts, Mother of Pearl, Pearl, Purple Rainbow Fluorite, Lavender Quartz, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli, Blue Aquamarine, Green Tourmaline, Aventurine, Malachite, Bloodstone, Leopardskin Jasper, Rhodochrosite, Pink Tourmaline, Rose Quartz, Poppy Jasper, and Rhodonite.

Dr. Sten Videmark lives in central Sweden, where he works with holistic medicine. After studying chiropractic in the United States, crystal healing has become one of his favorite modalities.
