My top 5 energy medicine and crystal books
Let me start by saying that I purposely left out "must have" energy medicine and crystal healing books as they are classics and by all means you must acquire them for your reference library. Those are "Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis" by James L. Oschman Ph.D., Judy Hall's Crystal Bible series, and Melody's "Love is in the Earth"...if you are lucky enough to find a copy. That being said, the books below mark milestones in my learning and resonate with me for different reasons. Also, these are books that I had recommended or given as gifts to my friends.
Please note that I did not assign a ranking from 1 to 5. I just listed them as I found them around the house. Each one served a very specific purpose in a given moment of your journey. They will serve you well.

Here are my top 5 energy medicine and crystal therapy books:
Energy Medicine: How to Use Your Body's Energies for Optimum Health and Vitality by Donna Eden and David Feinstein
Before I became a crystal lover, it was energy medicine what brought me into this world. This book was my "first encounter" and I consider it the foundation of the subject of energy and vibrational medicine. Though a dense book, almost desktop reference type yet an easy read as it is not saturated with technical terms. Here, Donna Eden shares her journey, teaches us about subtle energies, and also integrates principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I find her descriptions of the meridian systems most comprehensive. It is just so complete!
The Book of Crystal Grids: A Practical Guide to Achieving Your Dreams by Philip Permutt
This one is so special to me because sacred geometry and crystal grids is my thing! I really love this book. I learned about it from Ashely Leavy's online Crystal Summit interviews a few years ago. Her excitement about this book made me get it and I am so glad I did! I'm happy that I got it in print too. This book is not only educational, it is so beautiful! There is something about its beauty and the visual appeal that communicates the intention and purpose of these pages were put together. It makes for an easy read and learning of the basics of grid geometry and crystal combinations. This book made me step out of the box. Up until that moment, I was a sticker for form and uniformity. I was sort of "matchy-matchy" when picking the crystals but wow, the combinations Mr. Permutt creates blow your mind. The Book of Crystal Grids is a work of beauty, it stimulates creativity and brings inspiration.
Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan
There are many reasons I like this book. Dr. Brennan is now an author, a healer, and an educator but she is also a physicist so that right there appealed to me when I was still in the engineering profession. This sort of provides the validation of the scientific aspects of energy healing. Hands of Light was her first book in a series of works about the healing modality based on the human energy field and consciousness. In this book, Dr. Brennan takes you through the life experiences that got her to study this field and eventually founding The Barbara Brennan School of Healing. She discusses the use of crystals in healing sessions to clear the aura and remove "mucus" from the energy field. Please note again my advice that this is also a book to get in print format.
If you are in a technical profession like engineering, applied science, or medical science, check it out.
Crystals for Energy Healing A Practical Sourcebook of 100 Crystals by Ashley Leavy
Another book I love and it is not because I am biased by being a graduate of her program. Ashley Leavy conveys here the vibration of beauty beyond the physical combined with an easy-to-read format and an awesome selection of crystals. This book goes beyond an inventory of crystals, it goes into the subjects of crystal properties and the different modalities of crystal therapy. A most complete sourcebook for anybody wanting to explore this subject but not yet ready to buy every crystal book and encyclopedia out there. Again, get the print copy. There is so much beauty in this book that you'll miss if you get it in electronic format.
A Practical Guide to Vibrational Medicine: Energy Healing and Spiritual Transformation by Richard Gerber, M.D.
A physician had given us a complete guide to all the healing modalities in one place! Homeopathy, acupuncture, color, light, magnetic healing, flower essences, and the multidimensional approach to health. Dr. Gerber discusses what is vibrational medicine, what is illness and what is health. If you are new to this field and you feel the previous books are not serious or pseudoscience, start with this and then go on to the other books he has published on this subject. Thank you, doctor Gerber!
I hope this article helps you to start building your library and these books become part of your favorite crystal and energy medicine books.
