Thanks to Frances Wade for her editing of this
book, also for her suggestions and advice.
My thanks also to Sara Hollis-Watts of Southwood
Press for her understanding, assistance and also
guiding this first timer through the process of getting
this book into print. Saras’ help has been invaluable.
A very special thanks goes to Ross Kitzelmann,
who not only let me photograph some of his
wonderful collection of crystals, but who has freely
shared the benefit of his knowledge of crystals
gained over 34 years. I have added to my own
collection and knowledge considerably since
meeting Ross. I know you will enjoy Ross’s photos.
