This is a soft covered book though the information from ebay says hardcover. It actually is in between, a little harder than regular paperback but not what I call hardcover either.

This is a book for your mind, body and spirit. It is a comprehensive guide to crystals and color healing. It features a magnificent crystal identifier profiling over one hundred of the earth's most fascinating and beautiful minerals displayed in a spectrum of twenty color bands. Explore the significance of each color ray, and the crystals that it encompasses, along with a factual reference describing the form, source and rarity of the stones. Expert guidance on the placement and use of crystals means that you can use crystal healing at home. Stunning images printed on a glossy black background fully capture the innate luminescence of each crystal.
