The Alchemy of Stones presents an inspired breakthrough in Robert Simmons’ thirty-five year career of exploring and revealing the spiritual qualities and potentials of minerals, crystals, and gemstones. This holistic, Earth-based framework for understanding stones and their energies initiates readers into an alchemical worldview that leads to spiritual healing, transformation, and transcendence.
Engaging readers step by step, Simmons provides guidance on discovering and harnessing the three human powers of intention, attention, and imagination, each a crucial component for meeting and working in harmony with the energies of the Stone Beings. Simmons also introduces us to the Divine Feminine intelligence known as Sophia, or Wisdom. The Stone Beings are her emissaries, and through relating and co-creating with them, the healing and redemption of ourselves and the Earth becomes a reality.
Offering an illustrated dictionary of the spiritual qualities of more than 375 different minerals, crystals, and gemstones, Simmons also explores in depth what he calls the Four Cornerstones of the Alchemy of Stones: Moldavite, Phenacite, Azeztulite, and Rosophia. He discusses the stages of alchemical transformation and provides meditative practices with specific stones to go with each stage. He also explores how to work with stone mandalas, crystal body layouts, gemstone elixirs, and Orgonite energy devices and details powerful techniques for working with stones. Woven throughout are Simmons’ personal stories of the pivotal mystical experiences that triggered his capacity to feel stone energies and led him to develop his relationship with the stones, revealing how this work can open minds and awaken hearts.
Lavishly illustrated, The Alchemy of Stones is an invitation to a journey of enlightenment, transformation, and spiritual metamorphosis aligned with the path of our living, conscious Earth.

Editorial Reviews
“If The Alchemy of Stones were a diamond, it would be graded at the highest level of quality. This most recent book by best-selling author Robert Simmons certainly captures the four C’s of gemstone book excellence for its clarity, completeness, colorfulness, and class. The Alchemy of Stones is beautifully written and organized to showcase and share a lifetime of accumulated wisdom and knowledge about crystals and stones. Highly recommended!” ― Cynthia Sue Larson, author of Quantum Jumps and Reality Shifts
“…just like his earlier book, this one is large, beautiful, and bursting with information and inspiration. There’s so much here that it is very difficult to even attempt a review. If you are a stone person you will know you have to have this book. If you feel drawn to stones and want to work with them, you know you have to have this book.” ― New Spirit Journal
“The Alchemy of Stones: Co-creating with Crystals, Minerals, and Gemstones for Healing and Transformation is a must-have guide for those being introduced to stone alchemy, a deeper understanding for those looking to go further, and various practices that everyone can try.” ― Elizabeth Konkel, San Francisco Book Review
“I have a shelf of books on crystals, stones, and minerals. Had The Alchemy of Stones come out earlier, I might not have needed the others. Robert Simmons has written a marvelous book that is easy to follow and understand, though the subject is complex. It is a magnificent reference book” ― Bob Casady, Psychic Magic
This Alchemical Great Work changes everything that has ever been written about the magic of stones. The mystery is revealed! The greatest spiritual path is everywhere around us. We are standing on it every moment–Earth, and Her presence as the harmonious, inaudible songs of stones. We normally cannot see the Earth as Spiritual Earth because more than seeing is required–it takes the unfolding, the doing, the alchemical living that Robert Simmons presents here, establishing working with stones as the single spiritual path most worth engaging. ― Robert Sardello, author of Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness and Heartfulness
“The Stones and the Earth are alive, and Robert Simmons has noticed it! The Alchemy of Stones takes readers deep into the World Interiority, where we meet and become friends with the Stone People. This breaks the terrible spell of materialism and dissolves the fantasy of objectivity. In this book, we discover that the ancient art of alchemy is very much alive within the serious and playful work of soul-making that the Stone People are ready to do with us. Robert’s special genius is his ability to sense and interpret the energies and messages of stones. His articulation of a new worldview–a vision within which the stories and music of the Stone Beings, the Earth, and the Cosmos are re-enlivened–is truly magical.” ― Daniel Deardorff, author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, and Psyche
The Alchemy of Stones is a valuable book of healing and transformation that is both approachable to those who are new to working with stones, yet deep enough to keep the advanced practitioner interested. Robert’s attention to detail and love of the Stone Beings makes for enjoyable reading that is educational and inviting to the magical mind (imagination). Filled with detailed techniques, meditations, and crystal recommendations for use on self or with others, this is sure to be a book utilized by Healers for years to come. I personally was moved by the focus on creating a reciprocal relationship with the Stone Beings and the Wisdom of the Earth itself. I believe this connection is paramount for navigating the changing times we live in. ― Salicrow, psychic medium and author of Jump Girl
The Alchemy of Stones by Robert Simmons is by far the best and most inspired book I have ever read on the alchemical healing power of stones. It is no coincidence that in the timeless art of alchemy the experience of connecting with the Higher Self is symbolically expressed as the lapis or The Philosopher’s Stone. There is real magic and something sacred–beyond the merely physical–to be found in stones and our relationship to them. I was totally amazed, and utterly delighted, when I began reading this book. Much to my surprise, I couldn’t put it down, as there was similar magic being transmitted through its very words ! I noticed that I began telling everyone I knew who had even the slightest interest in the healing power in rocks, stones, gems, and crystals that they should read this book. I can’t recommend The Alchemy of Stones highly enough. ― Paul Levy, author of Dispelling Wetiko and The Quantum Revelation

Readers with a specific area of interest can quickly find the appropriate chapter, and dive into those areas immediately.

The Alchemy of Stones is such a rich book readers can spend a lifetime delving into it and exploring the knowledge provided.” ― Lisa Mc Sherry, Facing North
“The Alchemy of Stones is more than a book. It is the pure distillation of thousands of hours of discerning engagement with stones and their energies, and its aim is to pull back the curtain and reveal the source of their magic.” ― Anne Lewis, Metaphysical Guide to Tucson
